Darrell,
I would love that.  I think she would too.  Thanks for the idea.
John

Ah, good old #12! Keavin, you always look like you're having such a great time - I guess that's the Alembic effect :-)
 
Does #12 have an LED down by the XLR socket? Or is the LED on your cord? Or is it just a trick of the light? (cue John Entwistle . . .)
 
Nice hat, by the way!
 
Keep thumpin',

I wish, it's just the flash,but actually those are series II electronics in a s/I body & no LEDS, BUT that's an old pic ,i just like to give the impression that im still gigging LOL,.like mica says dont be shy share those pics!

actually all i do now is ride my horses through the las vegas desert alot until the gigs pick up again.

Ah, I see, riding horses through the desert, hence the cowboy hat!
 
Man, I'm envious, it sounds idyllic - I'm stuck here in rainy and cold London UK, wishing I could catch even a glimpse of a desert. Or a horse, for that matter. Dirty grey city blocks all around. Bleurgh.
 
I'm sure the gigs will pick up again for you soon - just think of the downtime as more time to practise!

Looks like your funkin' it up with George Clinton & Maceo Parker without his sax.
 
Did you check out the pic with me and Stanley?
 
Peace,
Darrell

Here's a shot of Noah Gabriel and me at the River Lane show in Geneva January 29th.  

  We'll be back there this Saturday with fellow bandmembers Gary Belniak and Tim Politte  

 

  I would have posted earlier, but they just put these up on Noah's website.  Mike

Mike,
My wife and I are going to be up visiting family in  St. Charles in a couple of weeks. You have any gigs in the area between the 19th and the 25th?  
If I get a chance would like to stop by and give a listen.  
Keith

Here's some with my Elan Plus from a CD release last weekend:

 

 

Hi Keith,  
The closest gig to that time frame for Noah is Thursday the 17th (St. Patricks Day) at One East Wilson in Batavia. If something else comes up, it will probably be on Noahs website:
www.noahgabriel.com
have a safe trip.
Mike

I'm looking @ your bass,i see rogue electronics with jazz pups?,,,but this is different your pups are very close together,cool set up!

Yeah Keav, the original owner did a lot of slapping & Alembic suggested moving the front pup back a bit.... Europa electronics w/ dual J-pups~ a good cross-over bass for all the Fender / Sadowsky fans...

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we played The Boat Bar in Ortonville, Michigan again last night. A good time was had by all.  One guy won $12K playing Keno.  A friend of our drummer won $50K!!!    
 
My favorite pieces last night were.....  
Take Me To The River - Al Green  
You Can Leave Your Hat On - Joe Cocker  
Play That Funky Music / Superstition Medley  
Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Stevie Wonder  
Them Changes - Jimi Hendrix & Band of Gypsies  
The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby  
Skin Tight / Brickhouse Medley  
 
On The Way It Is, we feature our keyboard player, but I also get to take two solos  . The first one I just pretty much funk out on the basic bassline. That always goes well. Last night in the 2nd one I went to a higher register riff and TOTALLY lost my timing and had to find my way back to the earlier funked out E / A / C /D bassline  .  
 
I played my Alembic 5 string most of the night, but I always play my Hanewinckel fretless when we do Them Changes. It's got some really fast trills and I prefer to do them without speed bumps.  I also tend to use the fretless when we do Shaft, since we tend to do those back to back. When we work What's Goin' On and Heard It Through The Grapevine into our set I'll probably use the fretless for those, too.  
 
We play the Boat Bar again on the 23rd. I may park the Alembic and give the Marchlewski a full test drive that night. We play an outdoor street fair on the 24th. I'm sure I'll fly with the Alembic again. Nothing like having that steady crutch to lean on.  
 
If you go to our website, you can view some Quicktime clips of The Way It Is, Hounddog (not really part of our set list, but our keyboard player and singer just started into it and it went) , Play That Funky Music, and Taxman. Taxman was from our first time playing The Boat Bar in June. The sound on that clip truly sucks.  
 
As I said, a good time was had by all.  
 
Peace,  
 
James
