What was the name of your very

thinking about buying a music man 5-string, actually...need to raise some
dough!

had Ed Mann, who played percussion for Frank Zappa sit in with us during
our Germany tour and he also played on a track on our last CD. Not exactly
famous, but cool.

we listen to in order to hear you and your bass-style best?
'Abyss of Dissension' on the Frogg Cafe CD "Fortunate Observer of Time"
Why do you like your Sterling?
It plays like butter and has the 70's prog sound I'm looking for.
