Liking the colour I have to say.

I watched a vid on youtube last night of Jon Anderson on a solo tour, he introduced 'Time and a Word' as a reggae tune he wrote in the 60's that the rest of the band point blank refused to do in that style! Makes you wonder what else has changed.......

Yup, watching The Who at Glasto last night, all the songs our band plays I spent listening to see what Pino was playing, the songs I didn't 'know' I enjoyed far more because I was just listening to the whole package.

Skank you are...as ever... my absolute hero!

Huge Yes fan as I am, I have to agree that the last 2 albums have been weak, and as noted in another thread, which included a Youtube clip from early this year, live they appeared to be struggling a bit. Please guys stop now, you have the best reason to with the loss of Chris.

Heard this yesterday, still a bit stunned, can't really express how I feel. Love my Yes music, love the way he made the bass stand out, never just a root note player, just the best. He may be gone, but we still have his legacy, excellent music.

Sort of a mute effect to stop open strings ringing out too much maybe?

Aye our rhythm guitarist has a tele tuned open G for Stones songs, still uses all 6 strings though, he hasn't removed to low E like wot Keef did!

Great band name....or maybe just an instruction to singer/lead guitar?

I think it must be a very localised MK thing, was playing in Buckingham last night.....not a dicky bird

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1434757663' post='2802688'] Not playing in Milton Keynes are you, Weststarx? That`s a popular heckle up there. [/quote] Yup to be honest, if no one said it at least once during any gig round this way, I'd miss it....probably end up shouting it meself!!

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1434740682' post='2802463'] Can't post a link right now, but it's got to be The Persuaders for TV and the James Bond Theme for movies. [/quote] Beat me to it 'Shell, loved the Pursuaders theme as a kid

Agreed, and that 250W is through 4 ohm too, my barefaced compact is 8 ohm and the Reidmar is STILL louder than 2 geetarists through Marshalls!! Top piece of kit, bought mine as a back up to a 400W Eden...which now just gathers dust!

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1434382044' post='2799064'] With the right bass player, and the right bass... Another Prick on the Wal [/quote] Sheer Class Sirrah. I applaud you!

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1434235013' post='2797942'] No, do what you want with your hair, but that Yes show was sad. [/quote] Hair? wear it long, go for it, whatever your age. That gig, *sigh* As a lifelong Yes fan, it pained me to watch it, they all look so bored apart for Jon Davidson. In the Comments for the Vid someone mentioned a Jon Anderson/Todmobile collaboration with a Link to 'Awaken' my Fave yes song, WHAT A DIFFERENCE, a lively energetic performance of a gorgeous song that had me with goosebumps and tears of Joy.

I've recently sold my Jazz purely on the basis that I'd gone off the maple neck and I couldn't get the damn thing to sound right. All my other basses are rosewood, so I'm happy to see that you lot agree with me. Wish I could have been there

Gob well and truly smacked, lucky man and great friends..what a combo!!
