But you'd better make damn sure the unit will do what you want it to do. 
I bought a Digitech DSP 128+ a bunch of years ago for the same reason - 
20-20,000 Hz response, many effects, cheap price.  Problem is, the only
setting that could be made for bass is best described as "Sea of Mud".
The salesman that "helped" me at the store claimed that the DSP was perfect
for bass, and the limitations I heard throught their sample setup were due
to the fact that it was wired through a guitar setup.  I foolishly believed
the salesman (NEVER shop at Guitar Center!) and purchased the unit.  It's
main duty now is to take up a space in my rack and flash its lights whenever
I hit a string...  Taught me a good lesson, though.  Always trust your 
instincts, and always test stuff the way you would be using it.  My point?
(I had one here someplace..)  Good frequency response doesn't mean good sound
for bass.

Good advice - this is one of the only units that really lives up to its claims.
I ordered a Nightbass a few days ago, and if it doesn't completely bowl me
over, I'm going to exchange it for the GT.  I wasn't that impressed with the 
GT's preamp, but Alesis has a better track record.  After all the ART horror
stories, I'm not so sure the Nightbass bang/buck ratio is worth the risk...

On another note:  Anyone have some good "salesman-on-commission" stories?
My personal favorite:  After pointing out the unacceptably high noise level
of a guitar effects unit, the salesman first attempted to blame the flourescent
lights overhead for the noise (not a chance!) and then said, "You're the only
person I've had complain about that.  Everybody else thinks it sounds great!"
(Of course, he had to raise his voive to be heard over the whooshing and 
swooping noise blasting out of the speakers...)  Guitar Center in Los
Angeles is world-renowned for their high-pressure sales and their total
lack of morals.  Many a new guitarist has been charged $500+ for a Squier...
plus $400 for a Peavey Backstage Plus!

Chris was a Sunn endorser and used the older Coliseum amps for years.   He used
to use the *guitar* head, not the bass head.  Not sure what Sunn cabs he used,
though.  BTW, he also used other basses than the 4001.  Supposedly a Gibson
Thunderbird was used on "The Yes Album", it was auctioned off a few years ago
for big $$.

Just one comment: sad...but understandable. If these were "kids" (as how

is probably older than they are!

Actually, the music from the Lemon Song was based on Killing Floor by Howlin
Wolf but the lyrics are based on Traveling Riverside Blues by Robert
Johnson who came way before Howlin Wolf.  If you haven't heard any of
his playing, I highly suggest it since you'll recognize quite a few 
lyrics from versions from Cream, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the
Blues Brothers and more.

I imagine that is the same Travelling Riverside Blues that Zeppelin also
covered but never released until the box set? I always wondered why it had
the same lyrics...

ART is based out of Rochester, NY.  They also have a branch in California, but
I don't recall where.  I'm not sure how long they've been around, but I don't

My feelings exactly.  I liked the ability to have so many effects available
and under MIDI control.  My complaint about ART is that, IMHO, they used cheap 
parts, rushed to market, then refused to back their product.

Well, that was another selling feature.  It, supposedly, was manufactured 
in the USA.  I think that both the NY and CA branches manufacture, but
Technical Support is based out of NY only.  I live in Utah, so the CA branch
would have been closer to me, but I had to send to NY for repairs.

Hey folks;

I have some questions regarding YES.  I am a recent bassplayer- (read:
I bought a bass two weeks ago.)  But I seem to be picking things up
awfully quickly. -probably because I've fooled around with a guitar for
awhile- but I am serious about playing bass.  And (contrary to popular
opinion) I play bass because i think it is an under-used instrument
with alot of potential for making some bitchin sounds NOT because i am
a failed 6-stringer.  I bought an anthology of sheet music for YES
about a week  ago which contains everything they ever recorded previous
to 90125.   But it's been rather a dissappointment.   For several
reasons-  First of all, it doesn't contain the complete arrangements. 
Lots of the more improvised sections of song are ommited.  Not that I
expected transcriptions of every little fill and solo, but the best parts
of some of these songs are missing.  Also- many of the transcriptions
seem to be incorrect.  I play everything note for note according to the
sheets but it just doesn't sound like the way Chris Squire does 'em.  And
I KNOW the bass-line for 'Roundabout' is different from what i hear on
Fragile or any of the live versions I've heard.  And also- I seem to
see sub-E notes ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!  I've never had a chance to see Yes
live, but i have seen several of their videos and I don't ever recall
seeing Mr. Squire use anything but a four string.  Does he use weird
tuning?  And most importantly-  does anybody have TAB versions of these
songs that I might take a look at? i'm specifically looking for songs
from "The Yes Album" and "Fragile".  But anything from "Yes" to "Union"
will make me happy.

"...Zeppelin took these songs so far beyond the orignals."  Well, maybe.
I liked LZ well enough in my day, but as I turn into a a Middle Aged
European Male (MAEM) I find that the originals hold up better; lots of 
the thrill of LZ was just hormone surges, I think.

And as far as "...understand[ing] why Jimmy wouldn't think it necessary"
to credit the authors of the songs, so do I:  he made money at it.  By
appropriating others' songs, Page got (or attempted to get) authorship
and maybe publishing credit and the royalties that accrue therewith.
Just like zillions of other savvy businessmen who took advantage of
a group of naive musicians.

	Hi Davide.

	There is one live album he did with Scott Henderson called "Players"
which I enjoy very much, although they are not very proud of them. I also
know that Jeff has done a lot of work with Alan Holdsworth. I can't think of 
the albums off the top of my head, but that should give you a place to look.

I know, I know, I said I'd do it a long time ago, but the pain
in my wrists was dragging me down.  Anyway, in the next day or two
I'll be posting a pretty good transcription of "Close to the Edge",
the whole thing. 

As for figuring out Chris Squire parts, it was pretty tough to get 
some of his riffs down.  You know, those parts that you could play
8 ways without the tape on and they sound _right_, but when you
put the tape on they sound jusssst a little wrong.  Anyway, I 
think it's pretty close, and I'll put it up as soon as I get
to put it into ASCII form.  After that I'm considering (ack)
trying "Heart of the Sunrise".
