Just watched this - it's been a long long time since a tv programme has held my undivided attention from start to finish. Always liked Jeff Beck's playing and the programme opened my eyes (and ears) to several phases that I missed. Thanks to the OP for the heads-up. Chris

Only one bit of seller's remorse here Fender Precision sunburst/maple/tortoise shell - bought brand new from Guitar Village in Shaftesbury Avenue, London in October 1973 (and I have still got the receipt). Sold in January 1978, to a music shop in Colchester (Oasis Music if i remember correctly). Big big mistake - but needs must when the devil (the bank manager at the time) drives. Chris

Cheers - please check your PMs and reply with relevant details. Take it easy. Chris

Appreciate the skills and techniques but something missing - soul/feeling/emotion ? ? Chris

Sorry for the delay - PM on it's way in 5 minutes.

My trusty old Warwick 4U rackbag is now is Norm's safe hands (courtesy of UPS). First class communications and a pleasure dealing with you Norm - hope the bag serves you well. Take it easy. Chris

Will gave a new home to an Ashdown ABM 15" speaker and some surplus Ashdown hardware - Great communications and a smooth deal. A pleasure trading with you Will and take it easy. Chris

Fender P Bass or Status Stealth + MarkBass CMD121 + MarkBass NY121. Job done. Chris

Another member of the Esteemed Syndicate of Bass-String-Benders (North East Essex Chapter) here. BTW - Check out the sleeve of the Long Playing Record version of Humble Pie's excellent 1971 double live album - "PERFORMANCE - Rockin' The Fillmore" and you'll find a picture of Greg Ridley (ex Spooky Tooth, another great band) string-bending on a P-Bass. Ain't nothin' new under the sun. Chris

Yep - I've tried a couple Squier P-Basses and they looked, played and sounded fine to me.

Thanks for posting this SpongeBob - it's gone to the top of my wishlist. Haven't found another band that work for me the like The Who. Chris

There's not many your size that come any bigger Andy - stories like this make it a pleasure to be part of the BassChat community. Chris

The Who 'Nuff said Chris

86% - not too bad for an OAP methinks.

Hi Jon. Sorry for delay replying - been on holiday. Sounds interesting- could you email some details/info to me, email address sent by text Chris

+ lots for 'Bridge Of Sighs" and some fine playing on "Too Rolling Stoned". The trio of Robin Trower, James Dewar and Reg Isidore was and still is something a bit special. Chris

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUNG 'UN. A great 'feel good' post - thankyou. I hope all goes well for you in the future. Chris. BTW - I''ve just celebrated my 65th birthday and retirement and I'm still gigging, so far so good ! ! !

Sorry but ..................................... I didn't rate Sgt Pepper then and I don't rate it now. I never came to grips with all the fuss and hype, and I still don't. For me the best thing to come out of Sgt P is Joe Cocker's Woodstock version of "With A Little Help From My Friends". Chris.

Tempus fugit ...... as they say I enlisted on 18 May 2007 and I still visit BassChat daily. Thanks to all involved and especially those good folks who keep the site up and running. Look forward to more years of BassChatting. Chris

With the exception of the solo ....... 'One Of These Days' by Pink Floyd

....... that I went to see Frankie Goes To Hollywood at Birmingham Odeon (I've still got the tour programme and T-Shirt) I must have been one of the oldest in the audience - but I loved it. One memory still makes me smile - a couple of rows in front of me was a gentleman with his young and very excited daughter. The daughter bopped away all through FGTH's performance whilst her father read a broadsheet newspaper - priceless. Relax and take it easy. Chris
