Highfox Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 An old friend just sent me a pic from my first every gig back in 79. I never knew there where any pics taken. Check out the bass Quote
Hobbayne Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 What bass is that? Looks like the ones you could get in Woolworths for £49 This is me circa 1985 ish as a young bass god wannabee Quote

blue Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Tip, I am sitting down with my bass and I'm not smiling. Here is a current pic, just take about 45 years off of it. Key word; [i]Ampeg[/i] Edited October 25, 2014 by blue Quote

Looks like the ones you could get in Woolworths for £49 [/quote] It was a Kay bass , that I picked up for 5 quid. That gig was very much with the punk ethos of use what you have and just get up and do it. I'd only been learning to play for a week or 2. Edit for the song list.

Lozz196 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Difficult to beat that for a set-list Don, never played Public Image in a band yet - tho there`s still time....... Quote
BILL POSTERS Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Wouldnt want to hijack HF's thread, but it just occurred to me that a 'spot the Bass player' thread mught be an idea. Old band photos without instruments and see who looks like the Bassman. Have to have a mooch, see what I can find. Quote
