bassoctopus Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Saw Fishbone on Saturday night, who were fantastic as always. Had a chat with Norwood afterwards Here is playing his Thumb Bass, also played his Infinity NT 5 too during the gig And a couple of weeks earlier Kings X played a killer set at the same venue, and I got Mr Pinnick to sign my 12 string Hamer. Inspirational stuff from 2 bands who should be more famous than they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know Rocky George was playing with Fishbone now I'm going to have to familiarise myself with the new stuff as a matter of priority.

bassoctopus Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Don't think Rocky played on the last album. He was playing with them in 2008 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Schecter are proposing a Dug Sig bass. Dug didn't know when this might happen, but he's helping design custom pickups etc for it too.

Wolverinebass Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Myself and my guitarist went to see King's X at the Electric Ballroom in Camden and got a few things signed. Doug was a very nice bloke and the only gripe that I had from the gig about the band was that he only played the 12 string on 1 song. Come on!! I certainly counted at least 6 songs that were played on a 12 when they were recorded and he played them on the Schecter. On a certain level, it was slightly disappointing. However, it did put me in the mood to get a 12 string. Pity that they are so amazingly rare and virtually never come up on Ebay. Bummer.

bassoctopus Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 They are hard work on the hands. I play mine for 3 in our set, but they have to be the last 3 we play. My left hand is fecked by the end of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
