Jazz bass? I didn't see a bass at all.

Steve Currie's exact bass was on eBay not so long ago - I think it passed through Entwistle's hands before reaching him, which makes it an even bigger piece of rock history!

It had a Guild humbucker added at the bridge, unfortunately. See it [url="http://www.modernmusic.co.uk/collectibles_and_rarities/sold/t_rex_steve_currie_bass.php"]here[/url].

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='356511' date='Dec 16 2008, 11:12 PM']I was 14. Falling in love with 'Relics', Yes, Wishbone Ash and Afghan coats if I can remember correctly.

Oh as well as the girl next door :)[/quote]

Incidently i was jamming with a band last night playing Yes's "Parallels" with the BB5000 :huh:

You sir are a man of good taste, So much so that it completely outclasses my tender 23 years.

Ha ha,

As a former soundman at Butlins Skegness, I have worked with most of this lot!

How the mighty fall!

Sorry to continue the "Bobby Charlton" negativity, but Alan Price certainly was a a**ehole the time I got to work with him. Hearing him sing geordie folklore songs should have made me beam with pride from my home area, not make me ashamed and want to pull the plug on the arrogant f**ker.

Funny listening to him trying to sing "No, don't stop the carnival" with a Jamaican lilt but just sounding more geordie!

P.S. Before my fellow geordies have a go at me, I also worked with Hilton Valentine and John Steel as an Animals rehash and they were lovely blokes!

P.P.S. I seem to remember the lady from Middle of The Road is still quite attractive for her age now.

No, no, Bobby Gee is a cracking bloke! You've got to get to know him first though, I will admit I did think similar things at first. His missus Heidi is hot too and used to bake me cakes every week!

+2, I'd never listened to them before (bar Blackberry Way), but after watching the video you posted I've ordered the 4CD Anthology, saw it at a great price by pure coincidence! Should be here before Christmas :)

Excellent - the singles are particularly good. Then you can move onto ELO, Wizzard and (for the hardcore) Roy Wood solo...! :huh:
