And check out the cameo performance from Eric Clapton (alongside Albert Lee) at around the 30 minute mark of this. I think Chas and Dave were big mates with him

Chas Hodges was a session bass player in the 1960s and played with Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene Vincent. He played in 'Heads Hands and Feet' with Albert Lee and almost ended up as the bass player of Deep Purple. You might also enjoy the words of this:

I've had a D800+ as my workhorse amp for a number of years now. They are fantastic, on their own or I put a valve pre-amp on the front end for an extra vintage sound. I find the high pass filter really effective to tackle boom in different venues. The bag thing is annoying, but they are not much to shout about to be honest. Roqsolid would probably make one for c£50 which would be much better, or ask Bass Direct whether they have something in stock that would work. I would hold onto that amp. There are also a lot of lovers of Mesa here and they come up quite often.

I was going to put this on Bass Chat Cats, because my cat was ripping up my desk for 10 minutes of this. It was so out there it was brilliant. It makes Royal Blood look amateur.

It's interesting what you say about your PEB. I have been told that the quality control there wasn't everything it should have been from time to time. Something you hear much more about CBS era Fenders, but not so much Musicman.

Nice Bass. Can you remember the type of pickup you put on it? And did you mod the tone controls? Like the stickers too!

I don't think I have ever seen Tim Lefebvre slap a bass in my life

Loving the Pedulla!

Still from 'When the Levee Breaks, Playing for Change Vid. Stray Wallace Amp and owner found playing in Kew Gardens!

I have the Noble (see above in the thread) but sadly not the B15 (or the 63 Precision!). I have to make do with a 77, which is lovely, but probably weighs twice as much.

This was the vid and this was how the signal chain was described: "Derek is playing a 1963 Fender Precision bass with La Bella Low Tension Flats and a Nordstrand Nordy Mute. The signal goes through a Noble Preamp DI into a slightly pushed 1970s Ampeg B 15 and then a Neve console. Simple. Classic. Sounds killer".

Re-asking this question...I thought it was a no-no putting a valve pre-amp in front another valve pre-amp....any views out there? I was watching/listening to a vid of a Noble put in front of a B15 with a 63 Precision, which sounded sweet!

I really enjoyed the write-up and the gig sounded great. Am I the only person on Basschatt who doesn't do Spotify though?

Have we had Deff Beck (RIP) yet?

Not sticking up for Tesco, or any other particular supermarket, but there is a lot of near date food that gets donated by supermarkets to homeless shelters et al. You could say that it would go to waste otherwise, but my experience is that much tastier food gets prepared in the shelters as a consequence.

And for good measure, here's the neck socket of mine

And correction...someone has obviously shielded the whole of the inside which would imply the pickup has been changed, but its the way the shielding overspills the cavity....I don't think it has been re-routed, judging by mine

Here's the inside front of my 77
