  1. Fair enough, I am sure most of us would give him massive credit, but let's not forget the rest of the team.
  2. Bassist on the 1965 UK tour was Tony Newton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Newton_(musician)
  3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/23T7t4T4KPRCr05cCWyq4F8/a-brand-new-beat-the-tamla-motown-revue-1965
  4. I remember it too. It's a shame it's such poor quality picture.
  5. Dusty Springfield introduces all the Major Motown acts of the time to a British audience.
  6. Any relation to Bill Haley?
  7. No such thing as blasphemy. If you're happy and band is happy, that's it. If punters are happy, even better.
  8. I had cobalt flats on an Epiphone Embassy for about a year with no rust problem.
  9. ... and if I recall correctly, Peerless also made parts for Duesenberg - there being some similarities between the Retromatics and the Duesenbergs. Spot the similarities ...
  10. I had mine from about 2015 to 2018. Did we overlap?
  11. It changes the tone. I don't know if it's resistance or capacitance. I aways used it in position one.
  12. Also, my son has a 2004 Epiphone Casino which was made in the Peerless factory.
  13. I used to have a Peerless Retromatic B2 bass in ivory finish. The guitarist in the band where I used it had the guitar version. We looked good. If it had been 30" scale I would still have it. On the left here ...
  14. ... black pearl
  15. Saw Fahmi Alqhai & Dani De Morón Metamorfosis and Accademia del Piaccere, last night in the Alcazar in Seville. Although with slightly different line up, here's a YouTube clip. Actual line up was percussionist, electric bass [WAL five string], flamenco guitar, 3x violas da gambas, keyboard.
  16. Guitarist Neil Jones' sister according to Wikipedia. Bassist is Clive Taylor ... http://www.clivetaylorsound.com/
  17. If I wanted something different from what I'd had before, then the Sterling because I've never had an EB/Musicman. On the other hand if I wanted something I was already familiar with and knew what I was getting, then the PJ Mustang.
  18. TOP TIP When auditioning singers, get them to sing unaccompanied over the phone. Then give them the correct time and address for the audition ... or hang up.
  19. Sometimes it's difficult to remember ... but did that used to be mine?
  20. Looks a bit of a neckdiver.
