Love to know what the bass'y instrument is in this - reminds me of Talk Talk stuff.  Anyone help me out?




I did a little checking, and believe it or not, it's Cliff Hugo from Supertramp.

My guess is he's using a Stick.

It could be a Chapman Stick.  I have worked with several bands that used them.

Whatever it is, it has "pickups"! It is not a mic(ed) acoustic bass.

I think it's either an fretless electric or electric upright variant.

Thanks, my friend.  You're creeping me out a bit, though.  I used to drive a maroon Toyota Camry, which used to go round corners scraping its sills on the road.  Plus, my dad was born in October 1908 ....  My granddaughter was born on what would have been his 100th birthday.

Willie & Lobo in concert: highly recommended !

 

I completely agree. Saw them In Puerto Vallerta about 15 years ago and have seem them three or 4 times since and they're simply fantastic.

In fact, I have this CD signed by them from seeing them in PV.

These guys are the best! Had front row seats to see them at the Palms Playhouse in Winters, CA, a tiny, old-fashioned opera house. We enjoyed it so much that a year later we took the kids down to Puerto Vallarta this past December to catch their New Year's Eve show at the River Cafe. Again, outstanding! I'd have to say "Caliente" is my favorite CD of theirs, though we own them all.
 
Ibid, although it's now three years later!

Maybe 1993-94-time is elastic in memory- The Gypsy Kings- CD stuck in the deck in my favorite cafe in Heidelberg Germany- actually boycotted the place for months.

I LOVE Willie and Lobo. :) The one CD I had of theirs was Puerto Valliarta Squeeze...(based supposedly on the book by that name...the book sucked but the CD rocked.) This is not one of my favorites of theirs but it's definatly good. :)

No you aren't. I was seeing a black and white animation of a bull fighting sequence with a little red blood thrown in for drama at the appropriate times. But now that you mention "Sonnets from the Portuguese" that does seem to fit quite well. And is rather less disturbing.
Brilliant. Thanks.
