Nice piece on a very underrated player. Saw him with Clapton in the mid 70's and he was fantastic.
Also one of the first players I remember seeing with a MM Stingray ( and matching MM rig!)

I've seen footage of the whole band using MM rigs, and the rhythm guitarist using a Stingray guitar also - I think Carl Radle was one of the first bassists using the Stingray and continued to for a long period.

That's right. They had a MM endorsement deal I think, certainly remember EC in adverts at the time. He and
guitarist George Terry used MM 130 watt heads and 4x12 cabs with EV speakers fitted. Think Carl used the
MM bass heads into 1x15 ported cabs, again with the EV option.
Certainly sounded good to me at Bridlington Spa hall, was right at the front. One of the most memorable
gigs I've been to.

One of the many fantastic musicians to come out of the Mad Dogs and Englishmen project.
