Joey, that's a great vid of Dirty Bison performing that Dave Mason-Traffic tune.
And your JetGlo 4004 Cheyenne Cii is truly shining !!

That's because Joey uses Rain-X on the bass.

No, but my lower speaker cab sounds like Rain+ got to the speakers! Time to replace that cab!

I really need to get a mapleglo again!

I've got one with your name on it.....

Geez, John, You probably have 3 or 4 extra MG's laying around by now, don't you?

I put flats on the MG V63 and it really made it sound like heaven.

The trusty Model 3000 rocking a benefit concert - a pick-up band including Lang on drums, Cliff on g'tar, Rob on vox.

I believe that CJJ will have to surrender his "Most Rockin' Moustache" RFF trophy to you now.

Surrender? Nah. Mine's definitely got a lot more gray in it, but it used to look more like that back in the mid '70s. Besides, he needs some cool shades and a guitar strap made from a saddle cinch...

Well, I do live in Montana...

'78 3001 gets a spanking this afternoon at Lincolnshire's Heckington Show.

We opened for indie bluegrass giants Big Smith last night. It was a great show. Buster Blue from Reno, NV was also there. All in all a great night.

Cool pics, Joshua. I never realized before you wore your bass up so high. I can't wear mine up that high. If I do, my right arm tires faster, feels like the blood flow slows.

That's actually lower than I used to wear it. My right arm moves around a lot when I'm playing (because I change my hand position) so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me--my arm doesn't rest on the same spot all night.

I change my hand position for different tones as well, but the straighter my arm, to some degree the better for me. I don't know how some guys play their basses around their knees!
