But Mike Watt is one of my bass heros and he was in Milwaukee last night, touring for the 'hyphanted-man' CD. Excellent show - great CD and I got his autograph next to Stan's and VIc's on my Distillate backplate! :-) A friend of mine made the cool poster for the show! pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 704 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Sunday, April 17, 2011 - 10:06 am:    Mike had a Spoiler or Distillate at one point~ it wasn't pretty, but an Alembic nonetheless. kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 969 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Monday, April 18, 2011 - 10:46 am:    Kind of an Alembic. It was one of the handful of Japanese-built basses made for the domestic market in the early '80s. I've got his John Hancock on my bass. He seemed flattered when I told him he was only the second person I'd ever asked for an autograph. pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 606 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Monday, April 18, 2011 - 7:29 pm:    Mike Watt is a one awesome guy - super humble as well as a brilliant bassist. This latest disc has some seriously great bass lines in it.
