The OC3 before TheOC3

8/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Before TheOC3 was an idea, Angela Marie and I, with the help of Dave McCue on guitar, played out as a trio.  This video was shot before Angela Marie retired from her 27 years as a Los Angeles Sheriff.  As I remember it, this was at a law enforcement Christmas party.  My Warwick Thumb sounding as good as I remember it....I miss playing that bass...the neck on the bass was the best neck I've ever felt.

Devon bass #2 showed up at my door.  Thank you FedEx for not losing it this time.

I'll have a in-depth review of it after I've spent some time with it but my initial thoughts are this really is a fantastic instrument.  Devon did a remarkable job.

Follow the link for some addition pictures and comments.

My first bass was stolen during shipment.  Devon was nice enough to place me in the front of his queue for the replacement bass.

Bass number one - #1915
Devon gave me a March/April ETA.  My plan is to make my Devon bass my number one bass and move the Warmoth Jazz to back-up duties.

NYE in Tustin at the Black Marlin was a great way to close out 2019.  Great food, lively crowd, and the band (TheOC3) was hopping.  Looking forward to an even busier 2020.

And my new bass should be in my hands in March.  Its been a long time coming...

Devon Bass Stolen

9/26/2019

Well, sad news I'm afraid.  My Devon bass was stolen from FedEx while en-route to the local FedEx office.  They won't release details but from the sound of it, it was an inside job.  Not trying to throw FedEx under the bus but losing a large, eight pound box should be on the list of things that don't happen to a shipping company.

Devon, being the honest and sincere person he is, offered - and is - building me a new bass.  He had it insured so he will be reimbursed. 

So, to the three people that read this blog, if you come across the bass, please reach out to me.

Devon creates a web site for every bass he builds.  Mine (#1915) is below.

https://www.devonbass.com/buy/1915/

But I'll thrown a few more pics in just because its so beautiful.

I bought my son a 2nd gen Sire P7 bass.  I'll have my review of it, with thoughts from my son, on an upcoming post.








I bought myself a Devon bass - more accurately - I had Devon build a bass for me.  I'll have that review in an upcoming post.
