Bassman Sam

I'm in. Rickenbacker 4003s, Eppy Thunderbird Vintage Pro and Ashdown ABM 500 2x10 combo.

This is turning in to a cake bash. No complaints from me. The tone is in the chocolate fingers.

@jazzyvee Please bring your beautiful basses again. It took me weeks to get my undercrackers clean again.

Back on track, I would love this to happen. The last one was a blast.

As long as they are not fret onanists. So that's a no.

I've just watched it too. Brilliant.

I'm on the Status Quo Live album, recorded in Glasgow, 1976. It was recorded over 3 nights and I was at 2 of them. I don't know which night they used but me and a couple of mates managed to blag our way back stage and met the guys after the second night's gig. I met them again a few times after. Lovely guys.

i saw this in a record shop in Glasgow as a spotty youth and had to have it . Started me on my prog rock journey.

No. I've now listened to loads of Bands/ Drummers that I never heard of before. It's opened my mind. Stay cool.

I just thought. Alan White. He wasn't too shabby. Shame I am.

Wow . Small world. I've played with him too. Canny drummer. Does he still use the big rack kit. It was awesome

Steve Gadd. I wish

I've had the privilege of playing bass for John Coglhan , Ex Quo drummer. He was as tight as duck's butt, never locked in with anyone like that before.

I would have said Ginger Baker but he would have kicked the crap out of me.

Yeah, Cozy was great. I wouldn't mind being a dep there too.

Good call. He is great.

I would have loved to play with Keith Moon, Jon Bonham, Carl Palmer and Ian Paice. What's you choice?

My playing has definitely improved. During the first lockdown, I was waiting for an operation on my right wrist. It was scheduled for 9th March and was understandably cancelled. I couldn't play for more that a couple of minutes due to RA. Last September, I had the op, they put a bar into my wrist and 12 weeks later I was back on bass. I'm playing for at least an hour a day and enjoying it. This must be the first time they put a bar into a Scotsman and not the other way around. 😀

I remember going to Macari's back in the '70's. I asked to try out a Fender Precision. I was asked if I was buying and replied not today but in the near future. The salesman said no, you can only try if you're buying. Never went back.

I failed last year as I bought a Rick 4003s and an Eppy Vintage Pro in February. Not buying anything this year. I lost a Fender Precision though for 3 months. Found it tonight in my Rick case. This comment might have to be transferred to the You know when you are old thread.

My Thunderbird that's going to the Netherlands is still stuck in the UK. 3 weeks now and no sign of it moving anytime soon according to the buyer.

Just had a look. Still at the hub in the UK. What a nightmare.

Cheers mate, I'll have a look.

The buyer has said that the tracking is bad. Still waiting from an update from him. I don't know if it has left the UK yet.
