Hi friends, this year might be the most successful in my musical life, besides the collaboration with Gregor Meyle ( a meanwhile very succesful german singer/songwriter) and the collaboration on the upcoming album of Phil Gould i'm happy to pronounce, currently i'm recording the bass tracks for the next Kool & the Gang album. The bass i'm using is the lovely lady you can see on the attached picture. As i figured out, Kool (Robert Bell) was using an Alembic in the early years of his band too  . | ||

Kool indeed... and that cute knobby-headed four-strings makes up for a nice Gang... (Sorry, had to do it :P ) | ||

I'm curious as to why Mr Kool himself is not playing bass on the album? | ||

guess, i was wrong, thought, that bass is an alembic, but itīs not, which brand is that? Itīs a nice looking instrument, very similar to the Alembic style... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M | ||

It looks like an Oasis to me but I can't get a good look at the logo. Keith | ||

If I recall correctly, I remember him playing a ZON bass on the "Live at the house of Blues" video (Which, by the way, was a KILLER concert!, double horn and rhythm sections and all!) | ||
