Sick, Marlowe, you're sick!! I spent five hours tonight playing your grooves. I've played bass for ten years and this was the best solo practice of my life.
You know, not all Alembics cost the price of a car. Some can be had for under $2000. Not cheap by any means, but a hell of a lot more reasonable than 8k. That said, some of them do cost that much.
Yeah...those are some REEEEEALLY nice basses. Go to basscentral(dot)com and look at the Alembics there...they're definitely the cost of a new car. Lol
Thomas D.E.S.E.R.V.E.S. every well crafted electric bass to play on, that has EVERE been made! Thomas i RESPECT your musicianship and so ADMIRE your playing my man! It has always been a great pleasure viewing ALL of your videos! 5 stars as always..keep 'em coming dude! best..
AN ALEMBIC??!! Whoa, Thomas, you have to be getting those basses at a good price, haha. I loved this lick, very Hendrix-ey with that double stop hammer on on E-F#. :)
jeez man is that a bass or a sheet of paper
