I’ve got a beautiful Epiphone Thunderbird 4 pro. It came with a Gibson TRC fitted. I’m funked if I could be bothered to source an Epiphone TRC just so I’m not playing a counterfeit. Anyhoo, it’s such a good bass I can’t believe an original Gibson would be any better. I’ll play it out live and anyone who’s got a problem with it can mind their own business. By the same token the last gig I did was in Sweden and I took a first generation Squier CV Jazz with its original logo. Again, if anyone has a problem with me playing a Squier (which is a better bass than some Fenders I’ve played) again, they can mind their own business! Ahh the beauty of getting older is definitely not giving so much of a funk! I would obviously have a problem with someone trying to pass something off as something it’s not. That is clearly wrong - most of us on here would practice due diligence in the transaction but I guess someone starting out could be taken in. Have a groovy Sunday folks!

Not sure if he was on here but Kevin Riddles, Bass Player with Angelwitch and Tytan has passed away. Bit of a NWOBHM legend it follows a cancer diagnosis not so long ago. RIP Kev

A bit of electrical tape on my old CV Squier Jazz and she's ready to rock for tonight's gig with Stray at 'Time to Rock' Festival in Sweden!

Time To Rock Festival in Sweden with Stray on Saturday. Got a great slot at 8.30pm!

I regularly dep with John Verity who replaced Russ Ballard as singer/guitarist in Argent. There’s always some spiel in the set about how God Gave Rock and Roll to You was and Argent song before being picked up and made uber famous by Kiss!

I’ll get in touch with the guy who runs the venue and see if I can get any more info

I'm guessing low!

I played at Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre a couple of weeks ago. The guy who runs it (owns it?) Pete Barton manages Bruce Foxton. Hanging on the wall is Bruce's Black (well Roadworn) Ricky along with his stage gear! Anyone know anything about this bass?

Tomorrow (Wednesday) night I’ll be playing with STRAY at The Half Moon in Putney.

This Saturday I’ll be depping with John Verity (ex Argent) at The Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre.

Ordered!

Was just watching this yesterday!

Id jump on that!
