I only really know the first album, but it is one of my favorites. Thursday night in New Haven? I will most likely be there.

nice pics PR! i dig the red yellow and blue theme of their outfits. keepin it primary !

isn\'t that a custom 2-string bass or something of the sort that he made just for the band? looks pretty cool... i\'d really be interested in seeing how only 3 guys armed with instruments with less strings that normal can make a full sound....

FrankZappa · « **Reply #8 on:** February 27, 2009, 01:30:49 pm »

somewhat custom made. All he did was remove 2 strings and the tuning pegs for them. Otherwise it\'s a standard sg bass. Looks like an epiphone over a gibson.

I don\'t know much about it, but it looks like an Epiphone knockoff of a Gibson SG (6 string) guitar, strung with 2 bass strings. Looks like he removed the humbucker toggle switch. A lot of rock/ punk bass players rarely use much more then the top 2 strings anyway. Pretty badass regardless.

Kitty on my foot and I wanna touch it.

pres have always done a 2 string A-D bass and 4 string E-A-D-G guitar.

^ remembers thinking it was bad ass to use the abbreviation "Pot USA" for this band.

Hopefully the Yalies (whom I\'m not supposed to socialize with in a "bar setting") won\'t be too interested in Toad\'s on this particular night.

/\\/\\/\\ 90% of them have no idea Toad\'s has bands play there.
