PauBass Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Last night I headed down to the Concorde2 in Brighton to see Skunk Anansie. It was a warm up gig for their upcoming tour. The venue was packed as you'd expect and the atmosphere was amazing. All I can say it's...Wow!!! I was blown away, they are in top form! Although the sound could have been better, they played really well and it was a gig to remember. A couple of videos, not mine, here...not very good sound though: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDHOuBEJZeM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDHOuBEJZeM[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRg26RSLhI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRg26RSLhI...feature=related[/url] Cass is an awesome bass player, I love his playing, very tasteful basslines and very tasteful use of effects...He's pedalboard was huge! Twice the one from Ace (guitar). Basswise, he used a Musicman double pickup, not sure if it was a Stingray or a Sterling, you can see it quite a lot on the second video I posted. He also used a blue Lakland Darryl Jones 5 string with rosewood fingerboard for a couple of songs. If you have the oportunity to catch them on tour, don't miss it!

obi 2 kenobi Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Bass looks like a Musicman Cutlass 2. Pretty rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'd love to see them in Manchester. Don't fancy the trip solo so if anyone in the NW is going give me a shout. A great band, I'm listening to 'Post Orgasmic Chill' that I bought this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Cass is a Cutlass collector, he has managed to acquire quite a few in his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Pop fact: I was in a band for a year or two with Ace before he formed SA - lovely bloke he is too - we were a bit more like Living Colour though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
