jeez, now you've got me remembering. A gig in Blackpool in '78 wearing green Oxford bags, Docs, blue & red rugby shirt - and an afghan waistcoat!

I can still smell my Afghan coat from the 70's.....

I would have assumed Uriah Heep were too "cred" to have silk scarves - but it was the 70's after all.
The Free Trade Hall in '77 was the second Slade gig I wore that one at.

Did you ever see Mick Box's silver platform shoes . ......all cred went out the window in the 70's mate ,think I went in my brothers 2 tone loons..

Vintage 1975 and veteran of 30+ Slade concerts and a few non-Slade ones.
Jumpers for goal-posts etc etc.

For your budget , I would look out for a second hand classic vibe precision or jazz.
They are wicked instruments for the money

Got to be my first Wal pro2 E.... I used to walk past Barretts music shop in Manchester in the early 80's, they were distributors of Wal Basses then and had a shop window full of them......used to drool at them every Saturday morning

Got my first around 1990 and loved it, as did every engineer that recorded us in the studio...always regret selling that beauty

If your buying for your 50th.... get the Wal....this is an occasion to buy with the heart, not the head.

I can't see what the fuss is with Rush
[/quote]

Rush arent to everybodys taste but some of the bass lines are a challenge to play if your looking to push it a bit.......each to his own though

Having a go at YYZ-Rush...........struggling with the bass solo a bit.. [size=4] [/size]

Saw Wishbone Ash play to 50 people at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in Oldham in the late 80's... Martin Turner playing a Squire Jazz .....fantastic night ,had a good chat to the band after the gig ,but very surreal
