Kenny or John, would you be so kind as to tell us about the models used on Stop Start Again? I listen to this CD a lot at work and have been curious about that for months. Thanks! J

John has said before that his Shadow was the bass used on some of the CD.

Hautewerk....Good stuff!

You can find the CD on the official Rickenbacker site; it's some really cool music by John Hall, Kenny Howes, and company. I bought my copy at the 75th, and it still gets lots of play while I'm working at my computer!

One of his sidekicks:

You can see he likes to werk!

This is odd; I answered this post last night. I wonder where it went?

On Stop Start Again, Kenny plays a Bosendorfer Model 290 Imperial grand piano, a 660/12 guitar for the "accents", and a 330/12 as a slide guitar. (Actually, it was the Monty Brown prototype for the through head.) I think there's an acoustic guitar track as well but I'll have to refer to the raw tracks or ask Kenny to be sure.

I'm playing my then favorite Jetglo not-a-Shadow bass. (I have a new favorite . . .)

Dougie is playing a hybrid drum kit designed to get a particular sound; some Yamaha Maple drums, DW kick, and both Zildjian and Paiste cymbals.

There are some preview tracks you can listen to at www.hautewerk.com.

Awesome! Thanks John. What's your new fav?

That sample blew me away, I had no idea. Makes me wonder what else I've been missing in this way bigger than I could have imagined Ric world.

Last year's 75th annie - go to the Conferences and Confluence forum and read about it at the bottom threads - half have already gone to archive so it won't be much longer and those left will also.

Thanks guys!

There are indeed Ric acoustics on the choruses; I double-tracked the part on Mrs. Hall's 700/12 FG, one track using the piezo pickup and the other miked.

I think the only six-string used was a 250 MG.

shouldn't there be a 'special edition' John Hall/Hautewerk shadow bass reissue???????

and a Kenny Howes LTD ED Ruby 330????

rickenbrother · Post by **rickenbrother** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 6:26 pm

Those would be cool, Jaymi!

kennyhowes · Post by **kennyhowes** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 7:24 am

Yes, Jaymi, there should.

You'll probably see a doubleneck 4005 reissh before that happens, though.

(NO, there's not going to be a 4005 reissue. Sheesh.)
