Time Line Photos

One of my passions is playing and listening to live music!

Click on the dates below and you will see with whom and hear some of the I was playing music at that time.

1975 | 1978 | 1982 | 1984 | 1985 | 1996 | 1998 | 1999 | 2000 | 2002 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007
See I really like live music and music in general!

I belong to the 100+ Grateful Dead and lots of Phish concerts clubs and generally enjoy music of all types.

My Basses (Input)

I've played electric bass since 1975 - hence my adopted logo of an electric bass wound with computer networking cables. (I found the image in an issue of Oracle Magazine doing research for my first book.)
I also attempt to wrestle with this six string fretless Abe Rivera stereo model that I bought over the internet. I also can't bear to part with two Rickenbacker 4001s - one is white just like the one that Roger Glover of Deep Purple played in 1976 - the year I bought it. The other bass is a deep-red, fretless version of the white one.

Electronics Customization

Anthony Huvard added some hot Bartolini pickups to the Abe Rivera and wired it in stereo.

Power (Process)
I make sounds with an Alembic F-2B pre-amplifier and Mesa Boogie Simul-90 stereo amplifler.

Speakers (Output)

2 x 10" speakers
