Gibson EB-0 Bass And Tech21 SansAmp C'est Basstastique!

June 10, 2008
Eric Sanko Firewater

As bassist with Firewater, Eric Sanko plays the same Gibson Bass (an "EB" model) that George Scott played with John Cale and James Chance and the Contortions. Eric now fills the bass position with both Cale and the Contortions and even plays Air Force General Buck Turgidson in a staged version of Dr. Strangelove at a Long Island regional theater. It certainly is a small world.

Eric also offers up his services as a translator, though you might want to think twice about hiring him. Unless it's your goal to get detained by French Police and/or precipitate a ground war with Quebec.

sansamp

By: Anonymous Coward

i've got the sansamp gt2 for guitar. i used it for a long time before i got an amp worth using. now i still use it for live sets that require some distortion but something that is small enough that i can't melt faces with the burning power of EL34s or EL84s. The sound is great for what it is. It can go direct, and plus, it travels extremely well for teaching guitar lessons. i can't say that i've used one for bass guitar like sanko, but my point is that his enthusiasm for sansamp is legit. overpriced, just like all other stompboxes and such, but legit nonetheless.
