Beautiful pictures. I once saw a performance of Gamelan music in Washington. The gracefulness of the music and the people helped melt away my original awkwardness and I was able to float along. I was stone cold sober too. What variety of Gamelan were you performing?

I would like to submit this short video from a San Francisco band representing, the good the bad and the ugly. The guitarist is particularly disturbing.

Thanks for that clip. Dead Man's Hand was such a treat especially with the 4003;

"Nervous melt down meets jilted love vibe" That's spot on!

That's pretty cool but finger playing with the guard thingy on has to be awkward.

That's pretty cool of RIC to do that. Whenever Marty picked up that bass on stage he had a huge smile on his face and you could tell he was really enjoying himself. Real interesting slides up the neck too.

As a side note The Church's new Cd "Untitled #23" is quite impressive. Beautiful songs supported by brilliant guitar work. My favorite since Starfish.

Saw the Portland show last night. Very cool show and MWP sounded great on the 4003 FG.

I think that was Pino Palladino on that album. Great song!

One of my favorite songs that features a fretless is "Family Snapshot " by Peter Gabriel.

12th Fret on Belmont has done nice work on my Ric basses in the past.

Mine came from I Tunes for $9.99 last year. It's really great and helps bring in the Christmas spirit.

I've had TI flats on my '73 FL for about 3 years and they just sound better with age. I like the Bwah sound I get from RW's but I don't want to damage the beautiful rosewood. I also shunted the cap which gives it a huge woody sound.

The Circle Jerks doing jackie DeShannon's " Put a Little Love in Your Heart."
