I am now playing bass for the Bob Funck Band. I will be using my fretless Orion. I will also be using my Series 1 once it arrives otherwise my fretted bass will be my Brown Bass. Stop on by if you are in the area.

Hey Chuck,
Long time no hear.

Bob's stuff is kind of acoustic and electric folk/pop rock. The best representation with the band is here. Here is the myspace URL. He also has a personal website called bobfunck.com. These two sites are all acoustic versions. The band mixes have not been mastered yet so are a little out of balance. The bass parts are from the bass player who's position I filled. We are talking about going back in and recutting a few from his original CD sessions and adding some new songs.

Alright Keith.
Have fun, my friend. Make smiles with your new bandmates and with your new shorty.

Thanks Mike,
I'm really enjoying this although I am the old fart with a bunch of younger guys (ever been there? LOL).

Paul,
I'm glad you like the music. Bob has somewhere between 30 and 40 songs and the lead guitar player also writes some. We are currently heading a little more rock and pop in the sound along with a little alt country from the lead player.

Cool blend, I like Bob's voice. I'm guessing you'll be more upfront in the mix than their former low-ender. Keep it up!

Yeah, I've been the "senior fingers on stage" once or twice (more often recently - duuh) :-)

The gig went really well considering it was a Thursday night. More folks showed up than I expected. We actually had our first encore! The only problem is my wife didn't go and nobody else brought a camera. Definitely something to bring up at the next rehearsal so we can get some pics up on MySpace and Bob's website.
