Bassman Sam

Have you tried Spotify to compare them?

Until he passed away, I didn't know he played the tuba. His bass playing was great enough for me.

I would love to know the real story behind his "59" Fender Jass Bass. It's a thing of legend. R.I.P. Herbie.

Is that guy still at it? I'm surprised that he's not doing time or 6ft under, judging by the number of people he's ripped off.

Thumb Fin always there to remind me.

I had never played a bass before my first gig. I learned all my bass lines on a Fender Acoustic guitar. I had one hour before the gig to master a '62 Precision that a mate lent me. It didn't go too well. I was 15 at the time. My own first bass was a Jedson short scale Telecaster copy. It went in the bin when I got my '72 Rickenbacker fretless at the age of 17.

I've been following them on Facebook for a while. Just stunning. Would love to try one out.

Good luck with that Eddie but I won't hold my breath.

Just reading about the plods reaction to The Greeks dogs and this twit has been getting away with it for years. Where is the justice?

Make sure that you check for contents, you know what our Happy Jack is like. 😎

Been there too. Sold all my gear to pay the rent. Things did get better later in life so hang on in there. It will get better.

That is one classy looking bass. Enjoy.

He needs to give his head a wobble.

Glad that you are enjoying it Nick. Nice to meet you too.

After 42 years, I finally had a reunion with my first band a couple of weeks ago in a studio in Glasgow. The drummer had both knees replaced, the guitarist with the black Les Paul has Parkinsons and I'm waiting for knee replacements. Didn't work out to bad. A wee bit of Wishbone Ash. I only managed to play for an hour and a half due to RA. The session lasted for 6 hours with my mate taking over bass duties. VID-20220727-WA0001.mp4

Nile Rodgers and CHIC last night at Aintree. Jerry Barnes is a monster bass player. He's no Bernard Edwards but what a player.
