I'm no sax player but surely she would have spotted any irregularities in the sax when she first got it. Right to ignore her. Perhaps report her to ebay ? not sure if that's an option tho Dave

Yep nice looking bass. Don't know much about Zoot basses but that's nice. Look forward to seeing your completed bass Dave

Best Fender P bass i've tried recently in a shop was the Vintera P bass which i think are made in Mexico and it was £850. It was far nicer to play with a superior neck feel than the other P basses in Guitar Guitar including the US versions at £2k ish. Dave

Current band finally settled down to being a 4 piece after trying out various keys guys. We had done a few gigs around Xmas and this years diary was starting to look good with our last gig start March. All gone now and by looks of it same for rest of 2020. I'm missing the gigs mainly because we've put a lot into the band with regular rehearsals and polishing the set for it to be knocked in the head. Hopefully it will pick up again soon. Dave

Had a look and its guaranteed great quality so i've just ordered it too. Thanks for the heads up on that one @police squad Dave

2nd hand so won't know what condition its in. Prefer to buy new. Have to admit that the first album sounds a lot better to me. Dave

Had a listen to Storyville and saw some comments that his first album was actually better called Robbie Robertson. Gave that a listen and agreed. Only £6 compared to £18 for Storyville. Ordered his first album and will wait till Storyville price drops a bit. Dave

There was an item in Sounds or NME about the hot new bands in 76 to look out for. Police, Blondie, Rush were the only 3 i can remember from the list. The Rush album and description looked so different from the others altho the same ad got me listening to the Police. Bought mine in Glasgow somewhere. Dave

Sneaky

You have an impressive selection of friends Kevin. Nice one. You mst be pretty good to get to that level. Dave

I'm guessing you are playing professionally rather than a hobby band.

What band are you with Kevin. I'm originally from Motherwell and might know the band. Dave

I youtubed it to see the preview VID and it sounds good. Singer has a really good voice. Very distinctive and suits the music. Dave

Too true. I first got into Rush when 2112 album was released in 76 Dave

That was good. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Missed Rush at Ingleston but saw Boston there and the sound was woeful. Oddly enough the support band sounded better but the volume was lower. So maybe with the higher volumes you got more boom around the hall. Not been to the Hydro yet but maybe some day. Dave

They live in Lonan Dr up past Fire Station. Stan's a biker. Carol's lived there for a long time. Her original husband died many yrs ago and Stan and Carol married few yrs back now. Carol has a daughter but can't remember her name. She may have been a school teacher at some point but not too sure. She travelled a lot around the different schools in Argyle area. Think they have a Jaguar 4x4. Oban is a fair old size. Dave

Think they were from a cowboy outfit i had

Classic style never goes out of fashion

Don't laugh but here's THEN & NOW pics. Me with my Beatles guitar and plastic wig (circa 1964) and now with not much change really in 55 yrs.

Even i might manage to capture that smooth, cool and relaxed playing style that is reggae. Dave

Yep that always puts a smile on my face too even tho i'm not really a Reggae fan. Happy with that. I even let it play all the way through. Dave

Not heard that in years and yep i had a nice smile when the music started. Nice one. Dave

That means i have the full album to learn now. Downloaded them all @Bilbo. My fav track from you so far is Theme One by Cozy Powell. Always loved that track. thanks again Dave

That and Games Without Frontiers
