Stu Zender played on the released single so if you ever hear it on the radio that will be his version. Essentially the chorus bassline is totally different. I personally prefer Zenders version, as others have said it just seems more focused and tight with a better groove. I think that he played on everything but this version of Space Cowboy on their 2nd album it was Emergency On Planet Earth that had Andrew Levy and others on it. [quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1377329231' post='2186207'] I'm confused here. The Mr. X version you mention is stated as being the album version on that vid, and it sounds like the one I know and love from the album. Why wouldn't Stu Zender, who was a full time member for the second album, be playing on the album's title track? Weird. But, I suppose saying that it's amazing how little he actually recorded for the first album. A few sessioners laid most if it down before he got the job I believe, including Andrew Levy from the Brand New Heavies. This is the only version of Space Cowboy I've ever heard. Anyone got a link to the one Stu Zender did play on? Would love to check it out. [/quote]

Yep no worries - hoping to get it in the next month. New one is a Rumour though and not a Spitfire which is more like a jazz and the one that they had in Aroundabout Sound.

Go GB Andy you know it makes sense!! More than happy for you to come over when I get my new one for a noodle! You can also try the old jazz and and Stingray that I have as you may opt for a 60's vintage jazz which would take care of your budget nicely!!

All this talk of Bernard, had to go and play my 77 Stingray today!!

Always loved Bernard's feel and groove but I personally prefer the tone that Jerry Barnes had tonight - he is using an Atelier Z bass of which Francis Hylton from Incognito uses too and his tone is also favoured by me. I suspect as ever, it has nothing to do with their gear and everything to do with their natural ability! Jerry is a very different player to Bernard but I still enjoyed his playing and would settle for Chic on the telly every Friday night!

I watched the set streamed live so finished watching it just now. How the hell does het that tone? Looked like GK amps in the background.

Sorry - I missed this on Saturday! Andy Baxter has a lot but there seems to always be some coming up on Ebay these days too. I put some pics of my Classic 5 up a while ago and you can see them here: http://s1212.photobucket.com/user/Gunsfreddy2003/library/Stingray%205%20Pics [quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1371892768' post='2119167'] Best place (apart from Andy Baxter) to find these nice Pre-EB SRs? More info on your Classic 5? CB [/quote]
