    My Jazz is #410xxx which puts it at ‘73/‘74 on the serial number date checker with the pots dated early ‘74. I wish there was a way of checking what finish it left the factory with as my, rosewood necked, Jazz is white which I reckon is a refin which looked old when I got it in 1993.

    I’m often surprised with the lack of regard for Uplift Mofo Party Plan. Flea was absolutely on fire on it, indeed the whole band was peaking. And what’s not to love about the bass break in Fight Like a Brave?! Love that album.

    Not jealous. At all. Nope. 🤣 I loved Gaye Bykers, still got a very worn yellow PFX T-shirt somewhere.

    @Leonard Smalls I first saw them in 1990 and knew even then that I was late on the scene. I missed them by a day playing in Sheffield on the PMO tour and good lord I missed, at what would have been at the time my ultimate gig, them at the Astoria with Gaye Bykers on Acid supporting. Damnations!

    Yup, it’s a favourite of mine too alongside Uplift Mofo and Bloodsugar. I prefer it to Stadium Arcadium.

    There are many of Prince’s song I’d love to hear his bass isolated. If I had to pick one though it’d be Alphabet St.

    See also The Name of the Game, on which Mr Gunnarsson also did the string arrangements (it says here).

    Sure ‘nuff.

    Ah right. Missed that one. Bugger. “Circumstances” was a highlight. John French did a fine job on vocals.

    Best? Possibly..., Billy Joel at the MEN Arena Manchester 2007. Gifted front row tickets on getting in. Only member of the 12000 audience to sing into Billy’s mic, on the last line of “It’s Still Rock n Roll to Me”. Large portion of the crowd goes nuts in my direction. Yes!

    Magic Band at Shepherds Bush Empire? If it’s the same one I was there and yes, it was fantastic

    A 1978 Musicman Stingray, sunburst with a maple board. Purchased for £695 (in about 1990). I’d wanted one from the day I started playing and wanted to love it but just couldn’t get on with the neck. Ended up trading it for the 74 Jazz bass which I’ve still got.

    Yup, that’ll do. I’ve even been known to wear a white vest on stage too. Winner.
