Josh Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I think somebody on here owns a bass that belonged to one of Simply Red's bassists, a Lakland if I remember correctly, hideously underrated whoever he is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Is the reason to why everyone hates Hucknall because he's ginger and has alot more money than all of us and can get around girls pretty easily? Or is it just trendy to not like him? Edited October 14, 2008 by Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Watch the video for Something Got Me Started above. It's a combination of the way he looks (the bits he can't help and the bits he can help) and the way he moves. He can sing and did write some decent tunes / lead a good band at one point though.

Makes Lemmy look like George Clooney I hate him because of that 'Fairground' song...it just grates my gears. Somebody told me that 'Moneys too tight to mention' was a cover version which I never knew Edited October 14, 2008 by Bass_In_Yer_Face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellrazor Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The (live) bass player was/is a fella called Wayne Stobart. Not sure if he's still in 'em though. I went to school with him. He was a canny bass player even then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
