So, what's up with Trace Elliot?

[Mr Light]

Who gives a sh#t about Trace Elliott stuff in the past 15 years anyway??? Post this on the PeeVee forum.

Talk about much ado about nothing!

I want to see a pic of Beffie's new ride!!

Et tu, Steve?

 

[Colin]

OK....we opened for them twice if memory serves me well....at that time..we were not concerened about strings and such...just a fledgling band...excited as hell to open for them...was very cool...Huey was a great guy as was the whole band, Mario, the bass player,who played at that time with a thumb pick....he was as unique as his brother....John, (RIP)

We played at Uncle Charlies, where they IMO got their start...2 mtv vidios were filmed there for them..

Cheers, if you have any other Huey stories/photo's you'd like share, please PM me.

... we will get back to talking about amps.

Hey Mr Light,
Tnx 4 scooping some dirt on TE amps ...

If I can get a sound anywhere close to my 'vintage' TE 'separates' system
with a lighterweight 'NewGeneration' 15" KountryKombo,
I can probably have some *real* fun and

Win a few 'konvertz' to the EBMM BassKamp from the 'doghouse'Klub
in the BlueGrass fields here at home

A lot of reasons why the 'oldtimerz' don't like 'electric' gear is because
nobody has ever sho'd them anything but 'hardstuff',
and they'z mo' inta 'Gentle' stuff ...

But onceya get'me 'soffend' and 'loosend' a bit,
*Man* kan sum of deez ol'Katz
*Burn DownDa Barn*
~

We'll have SumFun !!!

What?

Tranzlashun

What?

Hey BigBallZ,
Sorry - didn't mean 2 konfuse ...

What I'm saying to Mr Light is that oldtime country & bluegrass pickers are shy about electric bass sounds with otherwise all acoustic instruments and soft harmony vocals ...

I need a good, phat and smooth sounding amp to match my SR5 Piezo

My Big TE rig is not portable enough, and my SWR Workinman 12 doesn't have quite the smoothness and phatness mid-neck on the B string where I get really good 'upright' type tones

If I can find the right amp to match my SR5, I can probably help
sell a few more Music Man basses to upright players,
or, I can get gigs where 'uprights' don't like to go

It's about the *music* ...
and I'd still like to hear more of your experiences !!!

I saw your post and didn't want to step on your appendages of the feet so I deleted it. I speak up when I shouldn't and don't when I should. One of those things I've gotten gun shy over the years about.

Something I've been learning recently is to Not "Should" On Myself

I used to be a corpoRate type,
- and music always got stuck somewhere behind the $$$ bills

And do I understand correctly that BigBallZ took some time off recently to recover from a medical situation ??

Well, I sorta had an accident last year,
- and it really slowed down my upright playing,
- but my SR5 playing has filled the spot real nice

And consequently, I'm starting to feel younger and happier again,
- and I think I see some new opportunities that will be good for everybody

That's also why I'm gettin' a buzz thinkin' about
- how to use my energy as best as possible
- to help give the younger kidz some of whatever I can offer

- cuz it don't look like the corpoRate types are diggin' the music
- as much as they're scroungin' for $$$

ps - tnx for listening to my ramblin' everybody !!!
