Likewise. I was just thinking that the pitch at Wembley took a hammering that year, what with Live Aid and Springsteen.

Funky Gibbon - The Goodies

One assumes that Pino just didn’t crank the bass and treble all the way up (far too tasteful a player for any full on shenanigans), thus the ‘Ray’s natural midrange remained front and centre.

I had the fretted version of this, IMO, the best colour MM ever did.

That’ll do - sorted 👍

Woolly Bully - Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs

Slap plates! I remember them. When I did my first defret, I was tempted to leave the last fret or two in to offer this option (I didn’t eventually).

They make a great sounding fretless.

I think I’ve had 5 over the years, 2 of which were defrets. Currently just the 2 in the house, not including the EUB.

Kings of the Wild Frontier - Adam & the Ants

Drumming was overly enthusiastic and the addition of a sax was superfluous. Sounded more like a jam, certainly not well rehearsed. I’m not a huge Queen fan, but they were so slick, moving seamlessly from an abbreviated version of one tune to another. Plainly, well rehearsed. If I were the three other members of U2, there would have been words about Bono’s excursion into the audience. Playing that riff over and over, for so long would have been wearing, not to mention boring. EDIT: The Who doing Won’t Get Fooled Again was an absolute car crash.

Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson

It also helps when said guitarist is Johnny Turnbull (Blockheads), who always just fits right in. Didn’t realise it was him on the Live Aid gig and not Steve Bolton, until watching it on Saturday. It also helps when Ian Kewley is the MD too.

I’m so tempted to put that into What3Words to see where (if anywhere) it is.

I was hoping to be a last minute addition for this get together, but it was not to be. Hope you all had/are having fun.

The Storm - Flying Colours

Paul Young was just on BBC2 on the Live Aid gig, Pino laying it down on the ‘Ray, nicely high in the mix - a perfectly timed advert.

I thought id go back and see if things had changed and they have. 1st - Yamaha BB300 Go to - Maruszczyk Elwood L custom My bass- Maruszczyk Elwood L custom - not unexpected as this was built to my spec.

Good to know.

That's a lovely sheen you have managed to achieve there, looks great.

Cherry Pie - Warrant

Time to get back on topic perhaps?
