              NEWC...I remeber that Kip model... I remembered when he endorced Hamer......Why do I know this , I don't even like Kip? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

              Well I had an 1976 Alembic Exploiter artist model ( It was Eric Carmen's bass , I bought it off his mom) It was a work of art but I hated to play it. That bass was valed at $4000 back then ......wish I still had it.

              I also had a M.V. Pedulla / (2) G & L L2000 (the best basses ever!) Ken Smith Custom Burner / 72 Fender P with Batrolinis and Bass Kahler / Kubicki X Factor (Stu Hamm) / 4002 Rick /
              Warwick Vette model

              Amps :76 Ampeg SVT w/8 10 cab / Ampeg SVT II stack with 4 10 and 1 18 cabs / Carvin Pro bass "Red Eye" stack with 1 18 and 4 10 cabs / GK 800rb with Hartke xl cabs 4 10 and 0n3 15 / Peavy MAX with Peavy 2 18 / 2 10 cab ....biggest bass cab ever made!!!....

              My Bass Influences : Tony Levin....This man was biggest influence!!! I saw him back in 1982 with King Crimson with a Chapman Stick.....That changed the way I played Bass forever.....
              Louis Johnson / Victor Wooten of Bela Fleck / Stu Hamm / Eddie Van Halen

              I do not worship Billy Sheehan or Les Claypool ........great players but they have failed to amaze me [img]graemlins/sleep.gif[/img]

                I've got two Charvel basses, a 3B neck-thru and a Fusion IV bolt-on. The active mid-boost in the 3B died recently, so I got an EMG EXB active enhancer. Now, I just need to get the recording process going with my band, so these monster get put to use.

                        Michael Anthony is nothing special as a player , but he is solid and his backing vocals is part of the classic VH sound...gotta give him that much...
                        Originally Billy Sheehan was second runner for the original line up , but Alex didn't want anyone to steal any spotlight from his bro...true story

                          Yeah, true, I do give him credit for his vocals and playing. Good for him. I also remember hearing the story of how Eddie really wanted someone in the band that was more of a virtuoso like Billy because he wasn't all that thrilled with Mike's playing.

                            Uh Hello....Bueller!!

                            How can I build 'em if I can't play them?!

                              I think Michael Anthony fits the band perfectly I agree his bass playing is basic,but thats all they need/needed the probably would'nt have gotten that big with Billy don't get me wrong he is incredible but I think the whole bottom end would fall out because he is more of a guitar/bass player and VH didn't have a rhythm guitar player. I guess it would be like (not quite) Tommy Lee joining AC/DC. [img]graemlins/band.gif[/img]
