Edwin's Stuff

At the Southern Sun in Boulder CO 6/9/03 with the Realms Ensemble. Stanley Jordan, Jamie Janover (at least, a portion of his head) and Aaron Holstein.

I've been playing bass for a while and here are two of my instruments, a fretted 5 string made by Ron Guliotta of Carmel, NY, played by the inimitable Mike Gordon, and a 5 string fretless made by David King of Portland OR, at the Paradise in Boston on February 17th, 1994, with Shockra.

Getting ready to go on stage with the Dude of Life at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center during the HORDE Tour, with my beloved '67 Guild Starfire.

My new homemade Modulus Quantum 6. Thanks go to luthiers Larry Pogreba, Harry Fleishman, Michael Stephens (Of Woodsongs Lutherie of Boulder) and Jack Read as well as bassist Tye North (of Leftover Salmon). Sorry about the low quality picture. I'll try to upgrade it soon.

There are several instrument builders and others who deserve special mention:

Mr Willie Whittaker, aka Fat Willie aka Lord Valve, owner/proprietor of NBS Electronics in Denver.
Mike Stephens, Gene Imbody (now at Stewart-Macdonald) and John Eaton of Woodsongs Luthierie
The good folks at Alembic (especially Kent Fossgreen during his tenure there, who is now at Backstage Technical Services-707-795-8391 )
Harry Fleishman, who makes some incredible instruments
Lane Poor, maker of extraordinary pickups, no longer in production. Lane, where are you? We need you!
Steve Rabe of Raven Labs. Sadly, Steve has retired. Thanks for a lifetime of bettering the lot of bass players everywhere!
Special mention goes to my favorite bass store, Bass Northwest

I have a solo CD of Electronic Music, called Fat Pig, inspired by Gordon Mumma, Pierre Henry, Pierre Schaeffer, John Cage, Fred Frith and others. Various people appear on it in variously discernable forms, including Mike Gordon, Felix Rentschler, Bob Smith (Claw Me Down!) and others. You can order it at the address below for $8 post paid. I will put up some samples eventually.

I have played with the Dude of Life for several tours as well.

I also distribute the compilation tapes for The Bottom Line, a mailing list devoted to the bass, electric and acoustic:

If you'd like to order one of these tapes, send $7US per cassette (Vols I-III cassette only for now) and $8 per CD to:
