  3. Gumtree Glasgow ESP surveyor jazz bass in candy apple red. From memory...advert was £300. I phoned and haggled down to £250 (subject to inspection) On the pick up day, I head up the Barras where his office is, test out the bass, seems decent, couple of scratches so I ask if he’ll do £225. “Aye...no bother.” So I nip out to the bank/cashline....”Feck! £200 limit!” I phone the wife who was shopping, tell her were I am and ask her to bring £25!. I ran back to the guy, explain what happened, give him £200 and say, “Give it 10 minutes mate.” He just says, “Look, I can’t be be arsed, take it for that as long as you take this bloody case as well! It take some up too much space in here.” I walk out with the bass and an orange fur lined vintage G and G case in great nick (but without keys.) I still have the case!

  16. I went in this thinking, that’s an easy song. I remember the album original and it’s sparse “swing” feel but wow!. Some freedom for the big man and by Jove he exploits it! Really magical! It’s as if he’s playing it in a three piece band!

  20. Saw him at Murrayfield in mid 80s with Icehouse supporting Thompson Twins and Bowie. Has a wee chat on Twitter (or on here?) about this when I saw a wee clip of him talking about this! He’s a (very) top man and I appreciate his effort in communicating some minor joy! ps...loved his wink at Good Times by Chic!
