Didn't know he had one of the large bodied ones, too! But there again, when the occasion is Paul Simon's concert in Central Park, then you can probably afford more than just the one Alembic . . .! Enjoy! K. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6811 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 3:35 pm:    Wow!!

Vids are a bit out of sync but you'll get the message: The sounds of Short Scale S2 You can call me Al: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSuxNxAUSDY&feature=related If you can find this version: Paul Simon Live in Central Park, you'll hear the fastest Thumping not "double thumbing", Thumping I think anyone has done and it's done on guess what a Baby Alembic. The sounds of the Long Scale S1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcR_LvorN_0&feature=related sonicus Advanced Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 392 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - 9:45 pm:    I like both vids , thanks ! What a great band, it seems to me that Paul Simon gives his Musicians room for self expression as well . Armand sounds great ! Both Bass's have their own character but I can really hear the timbal difference on the long scale . (Message edited by sonicus on September 22, 2009)
