Does anyone know who the bass player is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56ipWM3DWe4&feature=related adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2809 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 29, 2011 - 10:46 am:    Hi Piers - more info can be found on this thread a little further down in the Artists and their Alembics section.

Respect to the encyclopaedic knowledge of the Alembic club membership! Although it isn't an Alembic, you should check this out for great fretless work (the solo kicks in from about minute 7): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOBVa6Gg6PA edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 949 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - 9:03 pm:    This is what got me into being a professional musician. Speaking truth to power with a groove that doesn't quit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56ipWM3DWe4&feature=related
