    I love Rickie's especially the sound that Geddy and Chris S get out of them, but I found the Necks did not suite by stubby fingers and I got on better with Fender basses.
    Hugely jealous that your're in a Budgie Tribute band, I met Burke Shelly in the mid 70s at a Budgie gig really nice guy, so was Tony B, probably the most underrated band of all time. Watched your clip from your site, very impressed!
    Cheers

    Oh, Thanks very much.
    I was playing in a Wishbone Ash tribute band for a couple of years but when that ended I formed the Budgie tribute. Tony Bourge is my hero and the reason i'm playing at all. I have never met Burke but I met Tony Bourge after a gig at The Boat Club in Nottingham when he played in a band called Freeze in the late 70's along with original Budgie drummer Ray Phillips, they were both really nice guys. I have met Pete Boot, drummer on the album In For The Kill who came with his wife to one of our gigs. I've also met ex-Budgie guitarist Simon Lees because he played an encore with us at a Budgie fan get - together a couple of years ago, when his band Anubis were invited to open for us and play their very first gig....all great fun! :)
    I have just bought a 1974 Jazz bass so I have both, a Jazz and a Rick. Chris Squire is my fave player (hence the Rick) and Geddy Lee was another influence, Martin Turner also.
    I'm glad you liked the clip, but i'm pretty sure we have played much better than that!
    Nice to have you on the site Tony. B)

    WOW! Welcome to the forum Tony from another Tony who happens to be 50+ I only wished it had been me who had swopped your old Rick. :lol: Great to have you aboard. :)

    Chris Glen - any other fans out there?

    Gotta say I enjoyed both those Youtube clips i've not heard either of them before. I can remember SAHB being on Whistle Test a couple of times and liking the single Boston Tea Party at the time. I quite liked the SAHB album (without Alex), Fourplay. Also watched Chris Glen with MSG in Derby around 1980......good times!

    It seems quite a few for sale adds don't have any pictures, or worse still, a stock pic from a shop web site.

    Buying off the web always has a little risk with it, you are buying an item you are unable to inspect for condition etc. If you don't include a photo of the item for sale, you are expecting people to part with hard earned money with no idea of what they are buying apart from your written description.
    For me, no picture means the add is a none starter in my quest for a GAS item.

    Please put a little effort into your sale and take some pictures.

    I couldn't agree more. Even if the pix don't do the item(s) justice, it's better that than nothing I say.

    EBay not so safe

    My sister in law traded on there for years. She had over one thousand positive feedbacks.
    A month or so ago she sold one of my brother's unwanted Christmas presents to a guy in Leeds. It wasn't particularly valuable, about £30 or so. Anyway the guy that bought it reported it as being faulty and not as advertised. Consequently he got his full money back and sent her the empty box back. The item was perfect. His feedback showed that he'd done the same thing on several occasions. EBay didn't want to know, and wouldn't help her. He even left her negative feedback, totally ruining her trading on there.

    That is a shocking disgrace.

    I'm pretty sure I saw him play in a band blues band called Out Of The Blue at the Running Horse in Nottingham a few years ago, great bass player.
    Edit: yes it was him......
