    [quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1438455019' post='2834668'] Does not help much.... (one listed has photo of back cover) [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Richard-Thompson-Hand-of-Kindness-vinyl-LP-promo-copy-/331598202734?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d34cb076e&nma=true&si=H3m6MT4axzuZBKfwEKggfBr2olg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557"]http://www.ebay.com/...=p2047675.l2557[/url] edit: headstock looks similar to the acoustics [/quote] That looks like the one!

    [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1438351177' post='2833816'] I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty certain that is one of Peggy's Rob Armstrong basses. He was definitely playing Rob Armstrong basses around this time. He's holding it in the back cover photo on Richard Thompsons "Hand of Kindness" album. [/quote] We have a lead! I've just googled Rob Armstrong guitars and his acoustics have a distinctive curve to the upper body that looks similar to the Pegg bass above!

    Damn good bass player, Eric Haydock. I Can't Let Go has to be one of the greatest basslines of the era - Fender Bass VI I believe (that's not him in the video). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN8KraEvsnc

    [quote name='blue' timestamp='1438306528' post='2833480'] From young people saying; " I don't get The Beatles" Blue [/quote] There's a difference between a young person not 'getting' The Beatles and this huge cultural divide that you seem to insist exists! I have no doubt there are a lot of young people who rabidly dislike the band and are unable to understand what all the fuss is about. Equally there must be some of the older generation who feel exactly the same way. It might be different in the US.

    [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1438345441' post='2833741'] I'm not quite sure what it is but it is absolutely not an Alembic. [/quote] Yeah, definitely not Alembic. The tone isn't that clear on the clip but it sounds like a Precision but sharper and growlier.

    A little Friday challenge for you all. I've had this concert on CD for ages and have always loved the bass sound, but had no idea as to what was making it (Not Dave Pegg's fingers). I've just stumbled upon some Youtube footage from that very concert and there it is! Sadly I don't recognise the shape at all, hopefully it's not some mystery custom job. So, does anybody recognise it, or know what Peggy was playing around this time? It's a pretty murky clip but there are a couple of moments that clearly show the body shape and control layout at the 3 minute mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th80xJbWAIg

    [quote name='adamg67' timestamp='1438290284' post='2833389'] Just wanted to check, is the wah this one: http://www.jimdunlop.com/product/105q-cry-baby-bass-wah [/quote] It is indeed! I'll amend the OP.

    4:17 is a sight to behold! And how great would it be to see Geddy use one of his Hofner violin basses in the set? That would be one for the 'it's all in the fingers' crowd... 😄

    I don't understand where this whole 'young people don't get the Beatles' idea comes from.
  12. Cosmo Valdemar
    BUMP!

    [quote name='blue' timestamp='1438213182' post='2832669'] I'm not a Lenny fan. He's nothing more than a poser. Blue [/quote] That's a bit unfair.

    I am now the proud owner of Javier's Tech 21 Leeds pedal and Fender Roadworn pickups. Very well packed and quick postage - good egg all round. Cheers!

    I had an NS2000 , the neck through version if the Q, and it was made in Korea with EMG HZ pickups and an EMG BT active circuit. In fact I've had three of them over the years and bitterly regret selling them!

    [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1438210774' post='2832657'] I dont mind playing AYGGMW, although I usually bluff my way through the chromatic passing note section under the guitar solo. [/quote] Me too 😁

    We've never had a problem with Are You Gonna Go My Way. Always seems to go down well.

    Heavy flats are a must on these IMHO. I also intended to get a new nut on mine as the stock one seemed to be carved from chewing gum, but I sold it before I had the chance. I still think about getting another one all the time though, such cool basses!
  19. Cosmo Valdemar
    I find myself using my Leeds pretty much all the time these days so I've decided to put the VT Bass up for sale. It's the version 2 with switchable speaker sim. Pedal is in excellent condition and comes with the rather s w a n k y Tech 21 tin. Price includes postage within UK mainland. No trades, thanks. Pics to follow.

    Looks perfectly legit to me. I've never seen a fake/rip-off Deluxe. FWIW, the seller is a regular on here.
  21. Cosmo Valdemar
    LPB-1 and Bassballs sold.
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    Cool vid, thanks for sharing! It's wonderful to see Geddy stretching out on other basses, particularly that beautiful Thunderbird.

    How much for each pedal? Also that link takes me to a vast list of random pedals - can you post the appropriate links to each pedal? I'm itching to hear how they sound!
  25. Cosmo Valdemar
    After all the excitement I'm laid up with a bad foot so can't go 😢
