    Yep, it certainly was! And I quote from Mr Goodfellow... "But Carmel, from The Style Council, used one of my basses at Live Aid in 1985, a bass I made in my downstairs flat. That was the third or fourth bass I'd ever made and it had a Fender-ish headstock. But because he was left-handed, I couldn't play the bloody thing!"

    The song needed a 5 for the bass-line and was recorded with a 5. No big mystery. He also had a 5 string StingRay when that album was recorded and that features on a number of tracks on Guaranteed. He ordered both a 4 and 5 StingRay in 1989-90.

    They might be the old Superwound Groundwound (Halfwound) set from 80s/early 90s...the winding colours used to match the packet colour and they were in a yellow packet as I recall.

    T-Basses came out first in 1995, Lodestones came out in 2010. My T-Bass was borrowed by Mr Gooday in 2006 to get the design right.

    Eighteen years of writing come to a close... but it's not the end, just a change of medium/platform. It was a fun ride, time for a new chapter! Mike

    I acquired it through the Queen Fan Club back in 1997. The band had a warehouse clearout in 1995 just after Made In Heaven came out and it ended up at the Fan Club Offices. Two years later, it was still there and I offered to buy it.

    Well I've got the Acoustic part of the equation....along with the flightcase. He had two of those Acoustic cabs... I've got number 1.

    'Twas the other way around....UK publisher bought out US publisher, inherited Bass Player....both mags ran alongside each other geographically...decision to amalgamate and keep one title...which is now Bass Player....with many of their previous US writers.

    I'd suggest the swearing in Hey Jude is a fairly good one how many times was that played before it came to light and became public knowledge

    Yep that's kind of what I thought. A bit like the DB 925, it broadens your tone.....a bit like like playing to the width of a football pitch, instead of straight through the middle!

    Evening all! For anyone wondering how the new DB 599 Bass Compressor pedal from Aguilar performs, I've just uploaded this review video. Hope you enjoy it https://youtu.be/Dn-p2q6yRw4
