I think bass was my instrument since the beginning My basses are only MIJ : '82 Tokai "hard puncher" '98 Ibanez ATK and..... '76 Stagg "75 jazz bass" copy (photo soon) My amps : Trace Elliot 715 SMC Trace Elliot "twin valve" head 4x10 Marshall (sorry for my bad English...)[/quote] Bonjour Lapaju Your English is better than my school days Francais Welcome to the forum, I love the early 80s Tokai basses, I had a lovely lake placid blue precision i always regret selling. All the best Dave

They were actually made for the Inner London Education Authority and are referred to as ILEA basses. Made as set neck basses for the schools with iirc emg selects and M3 bridges and schaller machines, they were sold for around 200 quid and they made very little money on them surprisingly enough Dave

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='581162' date='Aug 26 2009, 11:26 AM']...and another thing. AC quite possibly has the nicest headstock logo ever.... although I know there are a few people out there who cant get past the physical shape of the headstock itself.[/quote] I must admit it is possibly the most "unfinished" looking design i have ever seen on a high end bass.

Ok just to clarify, I didn't see the band as they were in a marquee out the back of the hotel and i couldn't leave the room due to child sitting duties, so i don't know if there were 2 female singers although there was no banter between songs so i doubt it. I also cant confirm if the bassist was wearing a red beret. I was however wearing a lovely ensemble of green cargo shorts and a white O Neill T shirt sipping tea on the patio whilst perusing the John Entwistle Bass Collection book and the illustrated guide to the Fender Bass.

[quote name='coasterbass' post='580427' date='Aug 25 2009, 04:55 PM']HA!! This thread is now ranked No.2 in the google search for 'Minster Lovell + Wedding'. [/quote] PMSL I know it wasn't Nick (Doctor of the Bass) as i talked to him over the weekend. So that's one less

[quote name='coasterbass' post='580226' date='Aug 25 2009, 02:04 PM']Is it worth someone just calling the venue to find out?[/quote] Too easy.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='580181' date='Aug 25 2009, 01:34 PM']Just on the off-chance, I've checked U2's website, but they were gigging in Wales.[/quote] Sorry Michael, but Adam Clayton and Playing Tastily dont really go together in my book so i know it wasnt him.

Nah wasnt me so by my calculations that ONLY leaves 6729 possibilites.

Just out of interest, I was staying in the Mill and Old Swan in Minster Lovell Oxfordshire this week and there was a band (Female Singer) playing a wedding on the Saturday night. Good selection of songs and some tasty playing. I was wondering if it was anyone from the forum? Cheers Dave

I say get rid of the BB in my direction Lovely collection, BB, Ray, Overwater and Goodfellow are particularly nice. ATB Dave
