Thanks for that. The only gig I have ever camped overnight for tickets for (Brighton, 1981). That'll make it into my autobiog, even if not his.

Still not got mine ...

I haven't had mine yet, but have had at least nine emails fromReverb on some pretext or another

Bought an EB-3 from this board and when I took it to a local jam was staggered by how many bass players of a certain age wanted a go on it! Really came into its own when I gigged it in a blues trio format with the guitarist playing a Strat. Somehow sounded like a rhythm axe - or filled the space where it'd be. Said guitarist had always loved the P tone, but even he admitted this combination had some kind of magic. The Cream 2005 format...

I bet you have a new bass within six months - the bargains on here are hard to resist! Welcome, and have fun playing.

What about the little Blackstar stereo jobby?

Yes!

Apparently in the States Powell is considering suing Sam Ash😄 By the way, if you're considering buying his book, don't. It's dire...

I went to a gig the other day where the Tshirts were more than the price of admission. Have to be honest, that takes the p!ss in my view. Especially when they were probably made on a sweatshop and will last about five washes. As you were ...

Fascinating, thanks

Never mind that... Watching the sax player makes me seasick!

Welcome back from the guy who bought your Telecaster for his wife as a birthday present! Which of your excellent basses (I got the grand tour) did you keep? The missus swopped the Tele for a video camera...clearly not my best present idea! Coincidentally we are two weeks away from the end of a pre-retirement gap year. Not a motor home but a round the world air ticket!

From the land of the Manband? Welcome!

How do we know The Edge doesn't write the bass lines? 😈 And what if he did?!

Nah, Brown Eyed Girl is Van's Mustang Sally. George Best once told me it was his fave song...

Darn - why didn't you do this when I lived in Wycombe?

There's a documentary on YouTube worth tracking down called Born Fighters. I can recall it includes Albert Lee doing his solo on Sweet Little Lisa. Doesn't help Andre the question but re-watching the programme might. Great band ... My first group did 2 songs off Get It.

Greetings from Maine. Hope you're spared our hot weather!

Have been world travelling for 10 months and touched a bass half a dozen times. How I look forward to playing every day ...

Saw a band last weekend and had to move away from the stage when the strobes started. Seemed they put more thought into the light show than the music. And it wasn't a stadium but a bloody car park... We ended up leaving. So these things can have a negative effect on the audience too.

A fantastic interviewee; I had the pleasure three times. Remember him discussing pre-Yes band the Syn supporting the Jimi Hendrix Experience at the Marquee and revealing that Noel Redding couldn't master 'Hey Joe' at the soundcheck. Squire and Hendrix would have been some combination!
