Quality thumbing there.

Often overlooked when folk come to talking about top slide players, but Chris had both great chops and tone. Stainsby Girl is the standout track for me. Sad day.

I much prefer series to parallel in a side by side comparison. 😱😖 Ain't that the truth?

Currently enduring a massive bout of ‘Ray GAS, £3k for a US example new and that’s not the most expensive, that’s in Fender Custom Shop money, territory.

When I finally ‘jumped ship’ to the low end, I very nearly went for one of these. I can’t remember what it sounded like (are they really ‘Ray-alikes?) but I do recall some weight. One of Joe Bonamassa’s early bassists, Eric Czar, used ATKs.

Love this era of Yes. No guarantee that what you’re hearing is what you’re seeing. Bruford is air drumming and Chris’ bass plays itself on more than one occasion (right hand behind his back).

There is a snobbery about this kind of thing, when all that really matters is that the end product sounds good. Having listened to numerous DB players, some of whom are revered, some dots (other markers are available) would help immeasurably. I’d rather see lines and dots than listen to pitchy playing.

Scone Sour

15mm spacing jig?

I reckon so. A quick search suggests that it is a Washburn Bantam XB-400.
