The event will be broadcast over the VI Satellite network throught Europe and the world, if you have a dish. The group is a ten piece Cajun flavored Polka Band. Now....Which Alembic Bass will I use? Perhaps this one! Happy New Year to all! ~David alembic76407 Advanced Member Username: alembic76407 Post Number: 221 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2003 - 6:18 am:    that one get's my vote, Polka on David.

It's a VERY nive one indeed. That's an ebony neck??? Polka and Cajun??? Seems to be dancing time brothers. That means high-time for bass-players. Paul the bad one PS: dancing. Makes me think of the story that Jeff Berlin told. His FIRST payed asignment as a bass-player was in a live dance act in theatre. There was a bluesy/rock part were he really want to show of as a fres-from-school-dude and he syncopated the thing to death. The dancers appraoched the bandleader in panic: they couldn't find the beat anymore!

As it turns out...I'm at the rehearsal right now. It's in Hannover (not Hamburg) at the Messehalle 2. It will be broadcast from 19:15 to 23:59 GMT on December 31. The MC is Karl Moitk. The show is "Musikanten Stadl". It will feature Tony Marshall and Al Martino, among others. The network is ORF. The bass in the picture above is a Graphite neck series I. The bass I brought is a SC 6 string. If anyone records this, would ya let me know? I know it's five hours....you could be choose-y. ¨-David bigbass Junior Username: bigbass Post Number: 21 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 01, 2004 - 10:03 pm:    Here's a pix from my camera taken by a close attendee.
