19.01.2022 Big thanks to Robbie Pisano for all the hard work put into making my bass sound great and getting the kinks out of the fingerboard. Much appreciated

19.01.2022 This will be a long relationship. There is so much crap to clean out, before I can even consider any repair work. Ah well!

17.01.2022 Thankfully some people appreciate what we do

16.01.2022 Rocco passed away last night after a brief time in hospice care. I’m Brian Rachlin, am admin on Rocco’s Page, a friend of Rocco’s and I’ve had a long time asso...ciation with Tower of Power. I wanted to share a few thoughts with Rocco’s fans. Rocco’s Bass style defined the East Bay funk and soul sound. He was a founding member of the band Tower of Power and he and Emilio were friends since they were about 14 years old. Originally Rocco played guitar but truthfully he wasn’t a good guitar player. At the time the band practiced at Emilio’s house and his father had hired a teacher to help the boys learn songs. This man told told Rocco that he should play Bass instead of guitar and at that time the world changed. I believe that some people are just born to play a particular instrument and Rocco was born to be a bass player. He had many influences but he took those influences and turned them into his own style of Finger Style Funk. Emilio always referred to him during band introductions as The Original. When David Garibaldi came into the band he and Rocco developed a sound that was simply amazing. Rocco’s work was simply by feel and he was extremely intuitive. He would freely tell people that he doesn’t read music, and just listens to what is going on around him and develops his parts to compliment what’s going on in the song. I’m sure there was a lot more to it but Rocco always downplayed his Legend status. He referred to the Bass as a hunk of wood with some wires. It was much more than that in Rocco’s hands. In my many years of following this band and about 15 years of handling their internet sites and social media I have been to many Tower of Power shows. It was always interesting that when Emilio did the band introductions Rocco always seemed to get the loudest applause and cheers. I think Rocco’s Bad Ass attitude endeared him to the fans and certainly came through in the music. Beneath Rocco’s sometimes gruff exterior was a kindness and a friendliness that had to be earned. He had a wonderful smile and when he smiled at something you did or said it made you feel great. Rocco’s contribution to Tower of Power speaks for itself. He was very much responsible for creating their sound. The unspoken musical communication between Rocco and Dave was amazing to watch. Luckily there is a vast catalog of recordings going back to 1970 that document Rocco and Tower of Power. All incredible recordings. Rocco passed away last night at age 69. There was so much more music to make and many more things to do for this man. It’s a terrible loss to the music community. Many tributes will follow. Many words will be said. He leaves behind a legacy through his recorded music and videos and will live on in the memories of all the fans all over the world that he thrilled with his work. After years of medical problems he is finally at peace and at rest. Thank you Rocco for a job well done. Thank you for being Rocco.

15.01.2022 There goes another weekend

14.01.2022 Another masterpiece!!

14.01.2022 I really do try to help people and yes, I do go on about looking after your bass. I have always said, treat your bass as if it were a little baby, don’t knock it’s head on the doorway, don’t leave it in the sun, don’t drop it, don’t leave on the floor, etc etc, and never leave a bass on it’s back, on the floor. Of course, they think they know best, and this is what happens when you do leave a bass on it’s back. Someone landed on her and caused serious damage, and is very expensive to repair. There goes my week.

14.01.2022 I am blessed to have great customers

13.01.2022 Thank you to another happy customer. It’s not easy work, but very rewarding when a customer is happy

11.01.2022 Great job done again. A warning to Parents who think they will save money buying a Bass online. This parent, took the advice of the teacher/ school, and purchas...ed a piece of disaster from the recommended supplier. This instrument was purchased online within Australia, the vendor claims in writing that it is a fully carved instrument, maple back and sides, with a carved spruce top. It is in fact fully laminated (ply wood ). That’s ok, but why lie?? In addition, who on earth would send a bass on a truck, simply wrapped up in plastic? It arrived with the neck snapped off, as per photo. Amazing!! They send instructions on how to set the bass up,, help!!!!! There would have been no way the child would have been able to play this bass, with string heights almost at 20mm. The tuners are falling off, the sound post set far too tight and in the wrong position,, I could keep going, but I hope I have made my point. See more
