    This game moves fast, but there are plenty of people who guess but can't record an entry. Stand by, you'll be able to submit one soon enough 👍

    So, I guessed. No confirmation from OP it was a correct guess. I didn't say I couldn't record anything. Some random jumps in and posts something else. Standing by for your go-ahead.

    I'm listening to this album which I've wanted for nearly 40 years! It was on my 'to buy' list when I was 16 but I never got it - I finally picked up a copy.

    You can't see it in the link - it's the London RnB Sessions album recorded live at the Hope & Anchor.

     

     

    I love this album! I've lost my copy unfortunately, but The Pirates and The Bishops are excellent.

    What's the biggest gig you have played?

    We played to about 1000 punters supporting Dr Feelgood at Manchester Poly (the Gypie Mayo era), and also less interestingly to about 3 pissheads at a busman's benefit at Sheffield City Hall during a strike in the early 1980s; this gig was notable due to the fact that enough beer was laid on in the dressing room to enable us all to refresh ourselves stupid after the gig and also smuggle a full barrel out in the van afterwards. Ah, youth...

    Rarest bass ever ?

    I'd forgotten I saw this - posted about it in the [i]eBay Weird + Wonderful[/i] subforum.

    Hofner S7B, Berlin, earlier this year. Not clear whether it sold. Not identical to Barry Gillum's bass either - possibly a different model?

    This one looks just like mine, except for the black shading on the back of the headstock-mine is a uniform natural colour.
    The other difference is Barry's headstock is parallel, not angled like this (and mine).
    This also has a replacement pickup.

    In 1983 I bough a Hofner S7B professional in preference to a Wal, it was £20.00 cheaper than the Wal at £229.00 sounded and played better.
    I can only find reference to 1 other in existence [url="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/hofner/basses/bas26.html"]Hofner S7B[/url]
    Does this make it the rarest production bass ever ? or are there more out there ?

    I have one of these, bought in 1981 from Barratt's in Manchester and still going strong.
