Jigster Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 About 48 minutes in, lovely jazz bass tone. I really like this band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0O5YgTFE68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickster Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yeah, lovely stuff. I'm just discovering them, after BetaFunk posted a clip from their 73 broadcast for German TV over the Bass VI thread. Got the Cuneiform CD/DVD of it today & it's top stuff! Its a post KA line up with Roy Babbington on Bass VI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaby Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Pretty sure this is the late great Hugh Hopper on bass, apparently when Kevin Ayers left, he sold his bass to Noel Redding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterFingers Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yup, definitely Hugh Hopper - I think the late Kevin Ayers left after the first album. There's a great French TV performance of the Wyatt/Ayers/Ratledge line up on Vimeo here: [media]http://vimeo.com/23399431[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the greats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickster Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Cheers for that, BF, meant to thank you on the Bass VI thread. Took me a while to get them, but a recent early 70's Miles Davis obsession softened me up and the vid you posted clinched it!
