OK, so now I fell like a serious wuss because I don't play my classical very much, owing to the difficulty I have with its 2" nut........


Peter

Ohh, my left hand was cramping up just watching that!
Sure is a beautiful piece of music.

Enjoyed the Townes Van Zandt, Coz. I once received a little gift in life... just by pure luck and happenstance, during my time as a starving bass player in Nashville, I ended up in a jam with that gentleman late once night. He died on New Year's just a few weeks later.

Recently got my hands on the 50 year anthology of Fleetwood Mac, "Don't Stop". Really enjoying the remasters. I never thought about it from an originalist perspective, but they really do sound good.

I would love to know which bass John is playing here... I do think it's one of his Alembics, but which? Doesn't sound like the fretless. Doesn't sound like 73-27 usually does either. Could it be the mysterious 'Penguin & Porpoise' bass with the crazy-custom electronics? Or the Graphite-neck short-scale? Or just the remaster playing tricks on my ears?

The ten string piece was nice; thanks!

These guys opened for Tedeschi Trucks Band about 5 years ago and we picked up a couple of their cd's at the show... dusted one off last night at work and then questing on YouTube to see what was going on this morning - found this.
