fender73 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 HOW MUCH!"!!!! - history or no history, certainly wouldn't warrant any of my hard earned. Quote
evilLordJuju Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 How many has he got? I saw him playing that (or one just like it) on Friday night Perhaps that was his very last gig with it? Quote
Ou7shined Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 He plays that BASScentre blockhead thing these days doesn't he? Quote

lozbass Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Not to hijack in any way but just found this - Norman playing an Alembic S1 with the Blockheads at Hammersmith in '85 - stupendous tone and a stunningly high-quality video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB00GTgyxMk[/media] Edited November 7, 2011 by lozbass Quote
KiOgon Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Brilliant vid ^^^^^^^ Cheerz BTW - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/159148-62-or-64-gold-jazz-bass-your-choice/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/159148-62-or-64-gold-jazz-bass-your-choice/page__fromsearch__1[/url] Edited November 7, 2011 by KiOgon Quote
Deep Thought Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 It's been for sale at Andy Baxter's for several months, obviously with no takers, and it's now found its way on to Ebay. Yes, he's playing the Bass Centre Blockhead these days. Incidentally, here's a pic of me with Wilko Johnson's guitar! [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/MikeyB17/IMG0047A.jpg[/IMG] Quote
LemonCello Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 That's a lot of dough! I notice one of Entwhistle's Buzzards was on here (and evil bay) recently and didn't sell despite a few price drops and it was cheaper than Norm's Fender! Quote
4 Strings Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 The Blockhead vid is top quality in many respects, great drumming too! Quote
