Oh temptation!

Bought a Boss ODB-3 from @SumOne.

Quick and easy and no delay. Pedal was well packaged and received next day. 

 Recommended. 

PM’d

Regularly used to take late night public transport home from gigs and rehearsals in London with all my gear on my back with no problem. Relax, walk confidently, stay alert, you’ll be fine.

RIP. A true talent.

I can still remember listening to Squirrel and G-Man for the first time and his line in Tart Tart stopping me in my tracks. Out there, funky, the real deal.

Bootsy, in the Parliament rather than James Brown, days. It was just about Funkin' For Fun!

And obviously shedloads of drugs, which of course would make it very difficult to stand up on those platform boots.

Ah yes but, Bootsy’s bass had its own gravitational field roughly in equilibrium with that of the Earth’s. Thusly, and it’s a little known fact, Bootsy floated about 5mm off the stage.

If everyone is lining up for Scott Thunes, I think I'd go for Tom Fowlers time with Zappa as I love Roxy and Elsewhere.  Or Id want to be Tony Levin...Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and King Crimson..yes please..

Good one! The Roxy lineup was fantastic but I’d also go with Thunes simply because he became my favourite of Frank’s bassists.

Also - Billy Gould from Faith No More, or on a different but equally heavy tip.., oh to be Brownmark from Prince and the Revolution. What a band, what a sound and what a spectacle, and of course playing bass for the man himself.
