The band is called Pickled Beats. john foster (johnf) New Username: johnf Post Number: 2 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Friday, September 06, 2002 - 3:09 pm:    Bass Central shows an 82 Distillate for $1,300.00. Is that a good price for that guitar? Jonathan Johnstone (stoney) Junior Username: stoney Post Number: 43 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 07, 2002 - 5:57 am:    I'd say so, yes. Check out the frets. bassman10096 Senior Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 434 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Sunday, May 30, 2004 - 4:40 am:    Great looking bass! dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 1686 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 - 9:51 am:    Here's a better shot of my Distiillate. Her SN is 81D1892 and she has a koa top. That's a hologram of an eye a previous owner glued on the headstock. I put blue Fret FX LEDs on her for dark stages, and she wears flat wounds mostly (currently T-I Jazz Flats).

I have a CoCo Bolo Distillate and been thinking of getting these for my Bass. http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/130905.html?1347663026 looking at the FX website the 32" scale is a special order. Was there a lead time issue and was there an up charge for the "Special Order"? Thank you A Fellow Distillate Brethren Pete dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 1688 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, December 24, 2012 - 5:38 am:    Hi Pete, I was lucky on the Distillate, and got them from the manufacturer after someone else canceled an order, so I got them for a discount. I had earlier gotten a red set-up for my fretted Epic. Both sets work wonderfully. I would strongly recommend them for those of us who toil in dark bars and clubs.

She sounded great!

She might likely will continue to show gratitude by sounding as good as possible ! dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 1816 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 - 2:58 pm:    Thanks Wolf. She is in regular rotation at rehearsals, and I recorded a track for Harmony for Change last Sunday. The song, "Silent Cries", addresses animal cruelty from a pets viewpoint and is still in production. We typically lay down the bass overdub after we get a good drum track so it will be a while before the song is online. Oue three other songs are online at http://harmonyforchange.com Mike sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3889 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 - 3:18 pm:    Mike , I checked out your link and it really seems like a refreshing and benevolent cause . Nice tunes as well , with a real message . Thanks for the link . Wolf
