He does, doesn't he Oldgit!

See, i'm like you. I like wide open spaces with my pocket play, especially when it comes to funk. I think it's better to lay off with true funk (although i'm a quick slap and popper, I don't do it at all when jamming real funk) and let the section do the talking.

But...there is something about the tightness of Prestia's busy lines. Although busy, I love the tight, tight, and quick quick way he plays. He sustains nothing. somehow, that gives (Tower of power's) funk a little more urgency if you know what I mean?

As he's playing a Status Series II I put the word out on Statii.com and consensus seems to think it is Wolfgang Schmid.

I would have to agree,he's a rather good bass player.The cd he did with drummer Marco Minneman a few years back was quite interesting.
