aznbass Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hey! I live in hanworth which i guess isnt too far, like 1 bus maybe. is the red lion Filthys? or was it? or has it become it? Ever pop into Alberts? i only ever use them for Strings and thats when im in a rush, but there pretty nice in there, barely any selection of basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Twickerman Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ha! I live right by the Red Lion - which became Filthy's. It's changed hands recently - but I think they are still using the name Filthys. Used to go there all the time 15 years ago - haven't been lately. The best pubs in the area are The White Swan, the Eel Pie, the Fox, The Old Goat... mmm beer. We're playing at the Grey Horse in January. That's local (-ish). A gig at the Red Lion would be cool. I wouldn't even need to drive!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Hi mate and welcome - I'm not far away in Barnes/Hammersmith. Used to drink in the White Swan, when attempting unsuccesfully to pull birds, many years ago! Double neck Rick implies a bit of 70s Genesis perhaps?

No, not really. Poor selection of gear at unattractive prices!!! Charlie Chandlers in Hampton Wick for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both based on the Maestro Bass Brassmaster. I haven't A-Bed them - but they are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
