    A spare is permissable! As I mentioned, he actually played all three. Now I can tell the difference between Gibson and Fender but wasn’t sure why the Spector. I have played that venue with an Elf and 1x10: this gentleman had an Ashdown head and 8x10. My ears are still ringing…

    Saw a fairly standard blues trio last night playing in an arts centre. The bassist started with a Gibson EB0, went on to a Stingray and swopped back, playing a Spector for one song. That was only in the first half, we left as the volume- especially from him - was crazy loud. How many basses do you take on stage?

    Well before, before even Gang of Four. She’d just arrived in London… wouldn’t say boo to a goose. We were looking for a Chrissie Hynde!😳

    My dinner party story is auditioning Eddi Reader when she was an unknown and rejecting her because (a) she was so shy and (b) had an obnoxious boyfriend/manager. Just think how much better she’d have done with me… 😂

    A small point, but his name was Osborn. Just in case someone is using a search engine to find one… Lovely bass!

    Sells for anything from £57 to £99. Yours for just £35! Now includes postage STRANGER IN TOWN - A DEL SHANNON COMPENDIUM This 302-track 12 CD set is a compendium of the entirety of Del Shannon’s career, from his hits in the early 60s, via his mid-60s recordings with Andrew Loog Oldham, to his 70s and 80s recordings with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell, as well as Jeff Lynne and Dave Edmunds. It also includes all of his mid-80s “Nashville Sessions” recordings, most of which are issued for the first time, plus b-sides, demos and a further eight previously unreleased tracks. The 28 page booklet features photos and ephemera, plus extensive annotation by Alan Robinson. This set contains all of Del’s UK hits, eight of which reached the Top Ten, including the #1 hit “Runaway”, “Hey! Little Girl” and “The Swiss Maid” (both #2 hits), and “Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)”, which reached #3. Also included are Del’s recordings of two Lennon/McCartney songs (“From Me To You” and “A World Without Love”). Del was the first US act to record a Beatles cover version, and later covered the Rolling Stones’ “Under My Thumb”. Also included is his song “Sister Isabelle”, later covered by Frank Black & Teenage Fanclub for a John Peel session. Del Shannon was, without doubt, one of the most gifted and distinctive of musical talents to emerge in the immediate pre-‘British Invasion’ era of American Pop. His was a talent that travelled well – indeed, his UK and European fanbase proved far more loyal and his success in those territories of greater longevity than in his native USA. Moreover, he was also much admired by successive generations of musicians, including the likes of George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young.

    Warning: this thread may turn into an episode of Casualty without warning! Good point, but I felt it was an effort getting through at the time so guess I wasn’t surprised at the subsequent soreness.
