Thanks Mike for funking up my Friday!

This is the most enjoyable track I have ever played live... the feeling of exhilaration once you nail it is worth the effort.

My EB-3L with flats sounds and plays in the Fraser ballpark - though of course from your original post Boz Burrell played an Ampeg (in the beginning) and JPJ a Jazz (ditto). That said, saw someone playing a Telecaster bass with mud bucker last week that sounded very Gibson-y.

We used to use kazoos instead of the horn section - it didn't work ;(

Seem to recall rating the original bass player - Mark Lickley (?)

He's got a bit of trouble and strife in his vineyard... http://www.sunderlandecho.com/whats-on/music/sting-saddened-and-distressed-by-reports-of-illegal-immigrants-working-on-his-luxury-estate-1-8183170

I think he should be jailed.. ...for calling his wine Message In A Bottle 😁

I played Sultans of Swing 486 times with my last band - each time the set opener. Settled us down if nothing else, and everyone knows it.

'Johnnie Wilder's Chicago Heatwave' were playing a college dance, mid Seventies. I had no idea who they were but, like Chic, they changed my view of 'disco-dance music' from something for the great unwashed to a musical phenomenon to be appreciated. RIP Rod.

[quote name='Geddys nose' timestamp='1475414475' post='3145716'] I have a friend who lives in Toronto and his Dad views the winter as a opportunity to do Canadian stuff outside even getting snowed in is seen as a bonus, My friend (His son ) and a lot of the young views it as a PITA. [/quote] My late first wife was in your friend's camp - she married me to get away from it! My sister in law says there are two seasons in Canada - winter and construction... T-H, is there a link to your news item?

Went past it a few months ago. Morin Heights is the proverbial middle of nowhere - I can understand why some bands (e.g. Asia) went stir crazy and fell out with each other, especially when snowed in!

Mine has finally arrived - yay!

Thanks for that. The only gig I have ever camped overnight for tickets for (Brighton, 1981). That'll make it into my autobiog, even if not his.

Still not got mine ...

I haven't had mine yet, but have had at least nine emails fromReverb on some pretext or another

Bought an EB-3 from this board and when I took it to a local jam was staggered by how many bass players of a certain age wanted a go on it! Really came into its own when I gigged it in a blues trio format with the guitarist playing a Strat. Somehow sounded like a rhythm axe - or filled the space where it'd be. Said guitarist had always loved the P tone, but even he admitted this combination had some kind of magic. The Cream 2005 format...

I bet you have a new bass within six months - the bargains on here are hard to resist! Welcome, and have fun playing.

What about the little Blackstar stereo jobby?

Yes!
