I drove to San Diego yesterday and brought home this weapon of mass . . . I mean BASS destruction.

Horrible camera work.

It plays and sounds ungodly. It is so light and easy to play, it feels like cheating.

I actually cried playing it today. It is going to be a huge part of the rehab of my left hand and arm. I've been able to play lines that weren't options on my other basses. I'm inspired and driven.

I don't know crap about instruments, but that one looks dope. That's all I got.

 

[mandown]

Thanks!

A few bonus shots.

 

[stevew]

play it hanging upside down.

 

[mandown]

had pictures of that somewhere . . . can't seem to find. i wasn't upside down, but i was up.

 

[Whoops]

Nice.

 

[IH8Rice]

does it go to 11?

 

[mandown]

wouldn't know. i put it at 5 and they can hear me three towns over.

 

[SacredYeti]

Mesa cabs ftw!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Quo Fan]

Sweet axe. Active or passive electronics?

 

[mandown]

passive, but powerful. not quite the output of my Warwick $$, but super useable and tons of variety. there is an option to run both in series or parallel, and series is punchy!

i may be changing cabs :/

 

[jimmydean]

That looks slick.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Must spread rep

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Congrats dude !

 

[Uncle Cliffy]

I gotta say, I'm way jealous.

Of the fact that you have something that slick, and that you can play in the first place...

I've always wanted to learn the drums, but after going to a Claypool concert, the bass has kinda won over.

Nice dude! Don't know your jam, but did you ever hear of Billy Talent? Pretty cool music, all base driven.

 

[Sandwich]

I thought you were all paralyzed n ****

 

[skibunny24]

That is a gorgeous bass, nice work! There should be a musician monkey thread somewhere on here...

 

[mandown]

Nice dude! Don't know your jam, but did you ever hear of Billy Talent? Pretty cool music, all base driven.

I'll give it a listen!

I thought you were all paralyzed n ****

i am, but only when it gets me out of stuff like work.

 

[bean]

Nice. Is that a B&W 703 in the last shot?

 

[mandown]

it sure is. good eye.

 

[bean]

Pretty nice speakers. What are they connected to?

 

[mandown]

NAD amp and cd player, with my computer running into the amp for my mp3s. Can't recall the NAD models, but I think the amp is 50w. The system is more than enough for my apartment, and everyone with an ear for music comments on how strong the rig is.

WORD.... Primus sucks!!

Some of the other must-have albums of his are:
COLONEL CLAYPOOL'S BUCKET OF BERNIE BRAINS
COLONEL LES CLAYPOOL'S FEARLESS FLYING FROG BRIGADE - Live Frogs Set 1 - (amazing version of Shine on your crazy diamonds)
LES CLAYPOOL AND THE HOLY MACKEREL - Highball With The Devil


Rock-on!!

Is that a hello kitty stool?
