Most Obscure Bass Claim to Fame?

[steantval]

The drummer in our Free tribute band was Jeff Rich ex Status Quo.

Many years ago I played in a classic rock covers band, we used to play a pub in Somersham and on a couple of occasions Dave Greenfield (The Stranglers) came in to watch us play and chatted to us while we were packing away at the end of the gigs.

Obscure? I once played in a rehearsal room that had the bass player from The Fall's bass propped up against the wall. I can't remember what brand it was or anything else about it other than it looked like a bit of firewood.

I once owned a Trace 4x12" that had belonged to Terrorvision's bass player and a pair of rack ears that I got from Hartke that had been used on one of the amps that Jack Bruce used at the Cream reunion gig

 

Years ago my band backed Ray Lewis who was one of the Drifters (granted there have been about 60 previous members of that group) in the late 70s. I also had several reading lessons from James Finnegan who was the original bass player in Hue & Cry when I was 15. He had a green Volvo 340 and a Warwick Thumb NT

I get invited to a shooting event at Christmas by a friend and customer , one of his friends is Martin Blunt from the Charlatans , lovely bloke, but it's a good job he scored some hits with his band because he didn't get any with a shotgun

I was once offered a 'Truckers Luv It' by Boz Burrell, from Bad Company. I declined.

Got to be a candidate for a top three spot surely.
