Blademan_98 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Really great song. I loved the bass part on that recording. Headphones on and big grin Quote
Clarky Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Lovely tone - amazingly upright like for an electric At risk of going OT slightly, here's a guy I spotted on Youtube who is amazing on a fretless Rick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2-88-nlIgg&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Quote
Mykesbass Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Loved it - going to try and persuade the band to consider it!!! Quote
bassmachine2112 Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 So much for a Rick being a one trick pony,great upright sound. Very full sound. Great band Lindisfarne. Quote
2pods Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Great stuff ! I really enjoyed playing this, way back when. Lindisfarne were one of my all time faves. Quote
RhysP Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Haven't heard that for a while. What a great song. Those early Lindisfarne LPs were played all the time in my house when I was growing up. Quote
Bassman Sam Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I remember seeing Lindisfarne in the early '70's headlining in at the Green's Playhouse in Glasgow. I was so blown away by the sound from the bass live, I saved up and bought a S/H Rick 4001 fretless 12 months later. BTW, the support band was Genesis who were promoting the Foxtrot album. So, at a guess, it must have been around '72 - '73. Edited November 23, 2011 by Bassman Sam Quote
chrismuzz Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 First thing I thought when i heard this was that it sounds very like an upright Quote

Beedster Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 How about I bring my 4003FL down to Brighton some time mate and try your Takamine? Quote
