If something is fresh, this is it! There are rhythms and sounds that are even beyond what someone like Herbie Hancock would have done! Musically its like Armand meets the rest of the world kind of Fusion. Totally new music, never heard before. Just amazing I highly recommend everyone to check out this masterpiece, not only bass players! …. but for us bass players……. there are things done on the bass on this CD that are totally from another planet!! www.armandsaballecco.com funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 790 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2012 - 5:58 pm:    That is a great recommendation coming from the mastermind behind "Undercover" and "Made in Finland" Vann-Di jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3045 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, July 23, 2012 - 7:07 am:    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZelNczldEo&list=UUJ0xSeUm0FyCO1cqfgen5QA&index=3&feature=plcp Jazzyvee jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3111 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, August 19, 2012 - 6:22 pm:    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dww07kQGzIE&feature=youtube_gdata_player Enjoy pierreyves Senior Member Username: pierreyves Post Number: 1098 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 - 7:32 am:    I ENJOYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! jos Member Username: jos Post Number: 64 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - 10:05 am:    This Boy IS A MONSTER!!!!!!!!! brianclarkebert Junior Username: brianclarkebert Post Number: 12 Registered: 7-2012 Posted on Monday, September 03, 2012 - 12:00 am:    Coming from another monster bass player, great recomendation Jan, Great Album=) jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3156 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, September 24, 2012 - 10:33 am:    Crisp Alembic tones http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=1kJ1HNxlhVY#t=217s jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 4081 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - 12:38 am:    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XErmfq7F_PI&list=UUJ0xSeUm0FyCO1cqfgen5QA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy3vF0M4LuM&list=UUJ0xSeUm0FyCO1cqfgen5QA&index=3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcxjuyd4W2o&index=5&list=UUJ0xSeUm0FyCO1cqfgen5QA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh8rFBmnT5g&index=10&list=UUJ0xSeUm0FyCO1cqfgen5QA Some nice clips with Alembic Series II bass with two extra knobs. I did ask him on Myspace a few years ago what they were but he didn't want to say.

Armand is one of the few bass players in the world that really has magic in his fingers! If I would be an instrument manufacturer I would definitely hire Armand, because he can make any bass sound like heaven!! I still love this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghorQAzBVMo jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 4082 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - 2:40 am:    Yeah I love that one too it's superb. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3481 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - 9:17 am:    I like his playing as well .

I did wonder if they were just brightness controls for the front and side LED's and he removed the knobs because they probably get in the way when reaching for the volume pots. bassfingers Advanced Member Username: bassfingers Post Number: 357 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2015 - 3:51 pm:    They look like the shafts of a couple of pots but as you say,the spacing would be a bit tight. jos Member Username: jos Post Number: 85 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 - 11:38 am:    Check out this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqlRCqsETdg specially from 00:58 Nobody does it like Armand Sabal-Lecco!! ....A master on the BASS!!
