No vid attached.... but Richard Page played a BB3000 I believe.

I certainly remember a Yamaha being played back then and a quick Google backs that up.

The guilty parties L-R

 

Steve Farris (guitars)

The Pat Mastelotto (Drums)

Richard Page (bass)

Steve George (keyboards)

 

Shame they didn't manage to duplicate the quality or success of "Welcome to the Real World".

There's hardly a bad track on it.

Or is it the BB3000S which i think was the Active version.

[cetera]

It's the BB3000S. Not active just a little different...

BB3000
Nut width: 43mm
Usually 2 knobs (V/T) and a selector switch, some have 3 knobs
Made in Japan
 

BB3000S
nut width: 40mm
3 knobs (V/V/T)
Made in Japan or Taiwan

Is it true that Richard Page was approached by both Toto and Chicago to replace (presumably) Bobby Kimball and Peter Cetera respectively?

 

@cetera's user name reminded me!

[cetera]

Yes. You are correct! Mickey Thomas (Starship) was also approached by Chicago.

Cheers for that.

I remember buying it on vinyl and thinking how great it was back then. Gave all my vinyl away, this is one album I miss.

’80s at its best. I rather liked the styles back then, at least there was a style, rather than the mish mash there has been in recent years. I’d rock a mullet these days over the sparseness that I’m lumbered with - business in the front, party in the back.

Yup, looking at me now prob seems unbelievable that I had both the far-left and far-right haircuts on that pic.

 

Them`s were the days..............

Good work! 👏👏👏

He definitely played a BB3000A (the active one) later, and even,(IIRC) a BB5000A...

 

The BB3000S has a 40mm nut? Ohhh nooooooo, I thought I'd stopped looking for another BB because they were all (mostly) 42mm nut...this could cost me...
