Paul, tbo,
I stand corrected.  
Maybe Abe has had a recent accident, but a picture in Bass Player from 1996 seems to show all his left fingers.

Brother Rich,
 
correction accepted.
Abe misses only the top cm's of one of his fingers as I was just told.
 
Brother Sam
 
I DON'T want to show off in the sense of look what I am doing but some of the pictures shown here of me playing indicates that I indeed shift my left hand as a kind of template over the neck. I kept that of my classical training. Though I use the template with 4 fingers = 4 notes.

Hey andrewknight,
 
Nice Tribute!
 
I noticed you're in Orangevale, CA, I'm not too far from you in Sacramento.  Cool, another fellow Alembician close by.
 
Darrell

Darell,
 
Thanks! Yep, you are close to me then. My office is even closer to you; Watt and 50.
 
Are you a guitar, or bass player, or both?
 
Andrew

Andrew,
 
I live off Watt & El Camino.  I'm a bass player.
 
Darrell

Darrell,
 
Know a drummer?
 
Andrew

Darrell,
 
hmm, we have a few things in common. Alembic, USAF, Telecom history, location, and age (1 year apart). Perhaps we should see how our Alembics sound together. What music do you like to play the most?
