3:45 on the 24th Aug in case you are podcasting later. Started at 2:05 so if playing in iPlayer it will be about 1 hr 40 mins in. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rlrlq

Got the 4 stringer - outrageous for the money. Haven't had gas in 18 months...

Nice guitars too….if they could only get rid of the [i][font=comic sans ms,cursive]script[/font][/i] logo!

Love it!

Incredible bargain.

Sofa King Good!

Love The Ballad of Dorothy Parker for bass and also Play in the Sunshine. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtVXyQ-UHKc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=VtVXyQ-UHKc[/url]

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1460859798' post='3029391'] After years of listening to the man and reading interviews I could never get why he was held in such high regard.

Well done.

Indeed.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1452519732' post='2950702'] A current Mayer favourite of mine is this with Herbie Hancock. The wonderful Willie Weeks on bass. I've managed to get this on to the To Do list for one of my bands.
