Looking forward to hearing that - Marcus and Stanley are my absolute heroes on bass, and while I've never been a huge fan of Victor up to now (technically, he's astounding, but I've never really cared for his music or tone), I'm willing to be converted! Interesting listening to those clips - I don't hear much of Stanley's signature tone - is he using the Spellbinder for most of this album? If so, it's a pity: I miss the Alembic sparkle! I can tell Marcus' sound from a mile off, but without the Alembic sparkle, Stanley sounds a little, uh, 'diminished' to my ears, too close in tone to Victor on his Fodera. Specifically, the beginning of Los Tres Hermanos - that sounds like Stanley's playing, but not his usual Alembic sound. But I'll reserve judgement until I've heard the whole thing and read the inlay!

I wondered whether the three of them on the same record, it would end up being a bass shredfest. But thankfully it doesn't sound like that.

I think to the uninitiated it would all sound like the same person. lmiwa Junior Username: lmiwa Post Number: 29 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 11:54 am:    Downloaded the album from eMusic.com - great stuff! jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1859 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 2:09 pm:    Have they allocated each player a specific channel as victor and steve bailey do on their bass extremes cds? Terry, if they come to the UK they'll get no further north than Camden ;-( Graeme pas Intermediate Member Username: pas Post Number: 128 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 2:40 pm:    Talk about luck...I got my ticket today for the SMV show at Wolf Trap on 08/16.

I'm on round the 4th listening and I have to say I really like most of it. For a change, it's not just a bass players album, most of the music is ensemble playing although I guess the whole CD will appeal mostly to we Bass players ;-) As far as the instruments Stanley is using, alot of the lbum sounds like it's beig played o an Alembic but I don't think I've heard him playing anything on a spellbinder recently so I have no point of comparison. The sleeve notes state.. "Stanley Clarke plays Alembic basses and a 'Spellbinder custom tenor bass'" so you can form your own opinions* Graeme * mine is that Stanley's touting an instrument he doesn't play as he has a financial interest in the company (and who can blame him). kalalau_hiker New Username: kalalau_hiker Post Number: 3 Registered: 10-2008 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2008 - 2:17 pm:    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrav_MSMjNs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEYWlKfeajA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCvBx2_JwJg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U7FZycSch4&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qY9jqMuMlY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHnvq6DjpQ4&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpelGJCKN3E&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dzno6eoVms&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S3y2tnh3js&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvfAVKOIOWg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25Jrz-Fzvos&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy5-d5IwFeg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcLKOhGA6zY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cDGU7pGoW4&feature=related dayum!!
