Highfox Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 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?

RichF Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 my hero - still sounding great. (I have just spent time relearning Sons and Fascination note for note, just for fun). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusee pee Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkandrew Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 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?

Norm Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
