Piers_Williamson Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I really enjoyed Geoff Lynn's ELO performance at the 02 Last night. It was the first time I've seen Lee play (not being a Take That fan). He was playing what I guess was a L/H custom shop pre-cbs Jazz with matching headstock. Anyone know what it is? And great performance Lee if you read this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVbass Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I was there too - 8 rows from the front Lee awesome I think, really great performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Not dissing Lee in any way but I was a big fan of Michael ‘Kelly’ Groucutt, who not only played bass for prime time ELO but sang joint lead. Big shoes to fill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Anyone see Lee on Graham Norton show last night with Take That? Sounding good as usual. All the rest of Jeff Lynne's main band playing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerstodge Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I know Lee fairly well, it sounds like it was his ‘66 Jazz that he bought recently which is his birth year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers_Williamson Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 That's nice. I'm a lefty born in 1961. Feels an expensive quest to source a lefty stack-knob jazz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I’m also “pre-CBS” so the idea of a YOB Jazz is right out the window too. Maybe a Futurama or no-name Jap/Italian monstrosity would make up for it... hmmm, no. Every time you looked at it you’d just think “You’re not an early 60s Jazz.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers_Williamson Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 So here's my compromise answer. Two CS Jazz, one a 66 replica (Like Lee's sunburst but new (ish)) and the other is supposed to be a replica 62 stack knob, but has some minor artistic license (like no mutes). I've had the 66 longer and is marginally nicer to play, but I always wanted a Lake Placid Blue Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardMarlowe Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I wqas born in 74, right bang on the "CBS are crap" years, but I doubt I could afford a 74 p bass or Strat now. Especially needing a lefty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like an interesting instrument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers_Williamson Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Ok, so given the hot debate going on on 'Show us yer headstocks' about the cost of Alembics (which I feel a bit guilty about starting with an innocent ELP nurdy query)....this is a relatively reasonably priced 1996 Alembic, bought off an e-bay dealer and in my humble opinion sounds as good as a fretless Wal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
