Another great Alembic and JE bass destined to hang at the wall. :-( Oliver (Spyderman) pauldo Intermediate Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 188 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - 3:53 pm:    VERY COOL tmoney61092 Intermediate Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 145 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - 3:53 pm:    they have alot of his Alembic Exploiters, or that's what i've realized ~Taylor Watterson hendixclarke Senior Member Username: hendixclarke Post Number: 852 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - 9:33 pm:    That bass is worth Millions! terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 942 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - 12:08 pm:    but only to those who want to pay millions. Remember the Bass of Doom thread...Ox sounded great whatever he played jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 2330 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 16, 2009 - 3:27 am:    Terry, I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that on the Thunderfingers documentary, when he's demonstrating his rig and showing off what must have been his last set up before his demise, his tone was atrocious - far too much processing going on to hear what he was playing.

I wonder what he was thinking there, there is a YouTube clip of him doing a great solo but he uses loads of distortion on his Status Buzzard senmen Senior Member Username: senmen Post Number: 888 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Thursday, July 16, 2009 - 9:53 am:    Guys, as beeing the "JE" in the german WHO tribute WHO ARE YOU I like his Alembic Era sound best. The Spyders with the Sunn rigs were best.

I remember how I used to rattle the Liquor bottles behind the Bar in the tavern with that rig.

I begged them to let me play it, but of course "No" was all I heard. Now the park went belly up and it's under a different name and ownership so I'll assume that all the memorabilia is somwhere else.
