evilLordJuju Posted November 7, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozbass Posted November 7, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Thought Posted November 7, 2011 Share 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!

LemonCello Posted November 7, 2011 Share 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!

4 Strings Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The Blockhead vid is top quality in many respects, great drumming too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
