Derek giving it some

I know Forbes gets mentioned on here once in a while Just came across this with Big Country.. I enjoyed his awesomeness and thought I'd share.
Not the greatest quality vid, but you get the Ampeg P- bass glory.. and flanger/phaser?

my hero - still sounding great. (I have just spent time relearning Sons and Fascination note for note, just for fun).

I bought a bass off Derek a few years ago, one he used with SM in about 1998, a Vigier. Lovely bass and a lovely guy. His SM work was truly outstanding.

So it was you that won that Ebay auction, I'd put a bid on it but went on holiday a day before the auction ended and was outbid! Anyway, it's some consolation that someone from here got it and I'm glad you're enjoying it. By the way, have you stripped off the blue paint to reveal the original finish?

Had fun supporting Big Country back in march on one of 30th anniversary of Steeltown dates in Frome, Somerset. Derek was resplendent in kilt & spats that night! Great player in a great band.

Indeed, it was me. I was determined to have it, being a big SM fan. I kept the blue, wanted to keep it as Derek has used it. Plays lovely.
