Little Mix and early 70's Rickenbacker 4000

[Beedster]

Watching Little Mix the Search with the family and, crikey, there's a bloke playing a Ric 4000, made my day

Band's called Since September, it was nice to see something vaguely rock and guitar-based on one of these shows. And as far as I'm concerned, anyone with the good sense and good taste to play a 4000 should win any talent show they care to enter for that factor alone

And yes I have had a couple of beers

[Lozz196]

Yep, did look cool

[Reggaebass]

I hate to say it but I saw that aswell 😀, I also noticed someone else had what looked like a stingray with a P pickup.

That latter bass didn't look nice did it. Did you notice the two Ashdown 8-x10s with no head?

That's the one, all a bit postmodern wasn't it

[Beedster]

There is something so perfect about the design

[Beedster]

And of course, in the pre-COVID days when I had some cash, I would have posted a 'Wanted Ric 4000' thread

Crikey, the rock(ish) band won, all things considered, what a day for democracy

[Nail Soup]

And good the the bass player had the most rock and roll trousers!

They were good trousers, reminded me a little of The Ruttles, but that's a long time ago

Against the odds I would say...some great vocalists...

[Lozz196]

Maybe this win means bands playing instruments rather than dancing are going to be “in” again?

There was some great singing wasn't there Mick, the winners certainly weren't the best band, but I suspect that as all good music does, they struck a chord......?

[Beedster]

I knew I shouldn't have taken a speculative look at the interweb, damn you Rich Tone Music

[TheGreek]

I'd like to think that all of the bands would make some money for their efforts. Am I being naïve?

Have to say mate that anyone who promotes bands and looking for new talent who isn't on the phone right now is missing out, some great talent on there

A friend of mine’s kid was in a band auditioned for BGT. They declined to sign their careers away... so didn’t appear.

Although I don’t like rap I thought that the rap band were the best on the show, and someone should really take them on.

Agreed, they were authentic weren't they, don't know how much pitch correction was being used but there seemed to be sufficient error to allow us to think none, in which case they were amazing, in fact all of them were. The band that went out in the sudden death thing last might hot a 5-part harmony at one point! I think most of the acts made X-Factor/Voice/BGT acts look synthetic

Unfortunately he's paired them with the a very stinky poo cardigan
