When The Music Was Real, Raw, and Low Tech.

Rich and his Modified 1962 Jazz Bass. Notice the dates on the photos.

 

The High Hat Lounge Dover NJ.           Chatter Box Seaside NJ.

Purchased in 1962, Rich engineered a stainless steel bridge and tremolo system for his Jazz Bass. Added to the bass is a 3 position pickup selector and the drum stick was used to slap & pop the strings. Pictured on the right is the last of the "Band Jacket" days when a sax was an important  part of a rock and roll band.

Purchased in 1964, this 1962 left over was modified in 1968 to this final form.

The Funksters

 

Bernie Worrell, Gabe Gonzalez, and Moon having a Funky time for Rich's camera before the show.

 

Bernie, there are two very important things I have to tell ya.

First... in this galaxy there’s a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets.  And in the universe, a probability of three million trillion galaxies like this.  And in all that, and perhaps more...
only one of each of us.

The other thing is....  there is no way I'm going to get the sub woofers from this DJ  system wired into the house mains in time for tonight's show.

 

 

L to R: BJ, Donna McPherson, Bernie Worrell, Van Romaine,
Rich Koerner, Michael "Moon" Rubin, and Greg Fitz.
