Who knew Hal could rock the bass with
such devastating ... devastation?
The fretted bass is a 1985 Fender Precision Elite.
The other one is a fretless Warwick Corvette 4-string.
Effects were:
1.) Digitech Whammy Pedal
2.) Moogerfooger MF-102 Ring Mod from Big Briar
3.) Moogerfooger MF-107 Freq Box from Moog
4.) Guyatone TDX Tube Echo
5.) Pigtronix Echolution Phi.
There's your early morning gearhead fix.
Also used was a Type U73 synthesizer.

On the afternoon of Sunday, January 20th, after a scrumptious brunch at First Watch restaurant in Tampa, those who had not already departed gathered in K Paul's (Otolathe's) home for a free-form jam. I recorded the music on microcassette and K Paul recorded it on digital.
