Bassman Sam

Neil Young in Glasgow in the early '70's. The support band, The Eagles were brilliant.

Its quite a rare cab and cant find any.

Try doing a search on here then. It might pick up the ad that you bought it from. Good luck.

Check out the sold stuff on Ebay, that should give you an idea what they sell for.

I like slappers.

I'll get me coat.

Thanks, triping error.

30 years ago today, we lost Leo Fender. Thanks Leo. That's all.

Just tweaked @Teebs because he’s... well, because he’s @Teebs.

I thought that Teebs looked like a really nice chap at the last bass bash. Shame my guide dog bit him.

I'm in. Rickenbacker 4003s, Eppy Thunderbird Vintage Pro and Ashdown ABM 500 2x10 combo.

This is turning in to a cake bash. No complaints from me. The tone is in the chocolate fingers.

@jazzyvee Please bring your beautiful basses again. It took me weeks to get my undercrackers clean again.

Back on track, I would love this to happen. The last one was a blast.

As long as they are not fret onanists. So that's a no.

I've just watched it too. Brilliant.

I'm on the Status Quo Live album, recorded in Glasgow, 1976. It was recorded over 3 nights and I was at 2 of them. I don't know which night they used but me and a couple of mates managed to blag our way back stage and met the guys after the second night's gig.  I met them again a few times after. Lovely guys.

i saw this in a record shop in Glasgow as a spotty youth and had to have it . Started me on my prog rock journey.

Should we rename this thread ‘How many drummers can you name?’ They all end up like this.

No. I've now listened to loads of Bands/ Drummers that I never heard of before. It's opened my mind. Stay cool.

I just thought. Alan White. He wasn't too shabby. Shame I am.

I did also have the privilege of playing with an Ex Quo drummer, Jeff Rich, beautiful DW kit with the most awesome snare sound.

Wow . Small world. I've played with him too. Canny drummer. Does he still use the big rack kit. It was awesome

Jeff Porcaro, Vinnie Colauita, Will Calhoun, Clyde Stubblefield, Steve Gadd... the list goes on and on

Steve Gadd. I wish

I've had the privilege of playing bass for John Coglhan , Ex Quo drummer. He was as tight as duck's butt, never locked in with anyone like that before.

I would have said Ginger Baker but he would have kicked the crap out of me.

Cozy Powell. Preferably on a dep gig for Rainbow somewhere in Germany in the early 70s ..had I even been alive then! 🙂

Yeah, Cozy was great. I wouldn't mind being a dep there too.

Sly Dunbar for me , he’s just an amazing drummer ☝️

Good call. He is great.

I would have loved to play with Keith Moon, Jon Bonham, Carl Palmer and Ian Paice. What's you choice?

My playing has definitely improved. During the first lockdown, I was waiting for an operation on my right wrist. It was scheduled for 9th March and was understandably cancelled. I couldn't play for more that a couple of minutes due to RA. Last September, I had the op, they put a bar into my wrist and 12 weeks later I was back on bass. I'm playing for at least an hour a day and enjoying it. This must be the first time they put a bar into a Scotsman and not the other way around. 😀
