Old Horse Murphy Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Just reminiscing watching TOTP 1991 (not a good year for music IMHO) but brings back fond memories of doing the same every time I used to watch TOTP as a kid and avidly Bass gear spotting. Obviously in the days before the internet it was a lot more difficult identifying anything even remotely exotic, but that was half the fun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Can you tell what it is yet? I remember seeing them actually play live on TOTP once, it may have been this one, most of their appearances were without a backline. Ac<edit> I think this is concert footage... I remember them with a much smaller stage setup, it was live because they always stressed when bands were live. Motorhead on TOTP? How things have changed 😞 Edited November 26, 2021 by Stub Mandrel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 There were always plenty of Wal's, Ibanez & Aria Pro II's in amongst the usual FSO's. Of course, this is the time where anyone who was anyone was using Warwick & Trace Elliott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Actually some more digging shows the live Motorhead on TOTP was Louie Louie in 1978. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harley Benton do a Rick-a-like using mostly Chinese (AliExpress) hardware, but with better QC and a guarantee. Can't remember what the pickups are though and whether they'll be vaguely Rickish. You're best bet is to pick up a 70's Jap faker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
