I heard "Through The Window" off that album on internet radio and loved it. chalie_holmes Member Username: chalie_holmes Post Number: 89 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 7:46 am:    Hey Dave, Chalie Holmes here.... I have it. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8223 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 8:58 am:    I love that overdriven tone he's using with the piccolo bass on "Through The Window". That's the only tune I've heard off the album. Is the rest of the album like that? Nothing I found on youtube has that tone. artswork99 Senior Member Username: artswork99 Post Number: 694 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 10:11 am:    Dave, I went to Amazon and found the typical clips they post for each song... it sounded very similar throughout.

My copy is a VHS tape that I found on E-bay. The e-live music service did not seam to have some of his older releases, which were quite fabulous. Thee can also be found on e-bay search using "Brian Bromberg". davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8226 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 12:18 pm:    I just listened to the clips as well. The "Carlos" tune sounds nice. I really like the tone he's able to get. I'm wondering if I might be able get something like that on my six string. I wouldn't have the upper end range that a piccolo bass would have; but a good bit of what he's doing would be within the six string's range. I picked up an overdrive on ebay a couple weeks ago that is supposedly on its way here (it got shipped to the wrong address and is being rerouted). I wasn't sure if I would be happy with it, so hearing Bromberg's Metal tunes is encouraging. Hopefully, I'll find out next week. dnburgess Senior Member Username: dnburgess Post Number: 627 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 2:34 pm:    I saw Brian play at a reception at NAMM just after Metal came out - so Brian was shredding on picolo and Rudy Sarzo was on bass. Was pretty cool. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8236 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 3:16 pm:    David; what kind of setup was Brian playing through? dnburgess Senior Member Username: dnburgess Post Number: 628 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - 5:19 am:    I think it was an Accugroove cab - can't remember the head - it wasn't super loud - so the distortion was coming from pedals not the rig. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8245 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - 7:34 am:    Thanks David! terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 917 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Thursday, June 25, 2009 - 3:25 pm:    I got introduced to Brian by my ex wife..he is astounding player on both electric and acoustic. Another player that when I listen just wants me to sell my gear and grow vegetables in quiet secluded garden
