toneknob Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Basschat fans everywhere will remember this thread about the Blockheads bassist selling his Fender Jazz on eBay: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/189547-norman-watt-roys-bass-on-ebay"]http://basschat.co.u...ys-bass-on-ebay[/url] So Norman gives his guitar to Andy to sell, who lists it on eBay the link gets posted on Basschat (thanks to BC user thebrig!) I show the link to my bassist pal Matt Matt shows the link to his dad and bass tutor Laurence Canty Laurence shows the link to his ex-student Colin Colin contacts Andy and puts a deposit down, and subsequently buys the bass. And that's the story of how Colin Greenwood out of Radiohead bought Blockhead Norman Watt-Roy's 1962 Shoreline Gold Fender Jazz bass.

toneknob Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I suppose I'd better plug Laurence's book as well - some of you might have it.

seashell Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Brilliant story. :-) But was Kevin Bacon involved at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
