I have yet to watch but i just wonder what there is left to know? As the producers get younger the awe increases…. I would like to see their contemporaries talk to them. Ask the awkward questions!

Perfectly captured, perfectly captioned!

Now sorted (for es and whizz)😂

Coverdale hasn’t aged well…

Played in a church at Romsey Beggars Fair. Holy smoke!

Mussel memory? Sounds fishy to me…did you play scales? 😁 🐟

Good for you Clarky!👏

Good god, Pete, beat that… All i can offer is interviewing Gary Moore on the phone some months after he did the dirty deed. My mag had taken him to task and I was told if I mentioned it the phone would go down…😂

Did you make him smile, Mike - yay or neigh? 🐎

Very smart! I clocked the headstock. Bit like Billy Talbot of Crazy Horse fame.

What bass are you using?

If Linda had joined Squeeze, it might have saved the world from Jools Holland!😂

Can’t be Diana Ross… she’s in tune!😂

Just had my annual sub taken automatically… the best value I’ll get all year. Basschat has been a part of my online life for nearly two decades (well, over one and a half). It has made me friends, got me at least one keeper bass (Sonic the Jazz) and informed me on a wide range of matters. So thank you Basschat and all behind the scenes who keep her afloat!🙏

Some gear sales have stuck in my mind years later… Bought a Hohner Pianet keyboard - remember them?- from a young jazz musician. His name, Django Bates, on the receipt meant nothing, but I later saw him rise to fame in his field. I never forget a name…well, not that kind of name.😁 The guitar player of the Keys, 80s power pop combo produced by Joe Jackson, bought a Maine 50w combo from me. My wife insisted on him signing a single she had - sadly, he declined to perform the song in our kitchen! Finally, in 1981, I sold a PA system to an Oi! Band, or similar. They played me a song I still can’t get out of my heads that would have been a hit for the Angelic Upstarts. The chorus ran T-D-Ayyyy T-D-Ayyyy Taking…and driving…awayyyyyy! Catchy AF!👏

Nice one, Len! All available on Kindle, but I noticed a physical copy of Maybe on ebay today for £6.60 post paid! A bargain for someone…

Cos he’s Beatle Paul, and he can😈

Just wanted to recommend a book that’s on Amazon Kindle at £1.99 right now. I run a blues appreciation group in the local u3a and got a couple of local musicians in to do a presentation. One of these was John Holmes, who has mixed with some big names - Andy Fraser invited him to audition as Kossoff’s replacement - without ever ‘making it’. Mind you, seeing the car he drives I bet he’s happy he kept his day job (financial services, since you ask). Anyhow this book was his lockdown project and I found it both fascinating and hilarious. I have no affiliation, nor am I on a cut of the royalties, just wanted to recommend a book that will entertain anyone of my ancient vintage … or anyone who has toiled in the semi-pro world. Written by a down to earth, self-deprecating guy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wing-Night-Years-Semi-Pro-Guitarist-ebook/dp/B095SLVFMG/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1AOMWO4EEGNNM&keywords=john+holmes+book+music&qid=1655899896&s=books&sprefix=john+holmes+book+music%2Cstripbooks%2C59&sr=1-4 Do let me know if you enjoy it… or not!

Welcome! Where are you based?

I had an OLP MM2 - two pickup Stingray clone - and anchored on the neck pickup. Easy for a P player like me…
