    Nick Smith - RIP

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I saw a shared Facebook post yesterday from Nick's sister so have been following on there. What an absolute shock to finally learn of the tragic outcome. I last bumped into Nick at the 2023 London Int'l Guitar Show. Had a nice chat and he was his usual lovely, smiley self. A huge loss for his family and friends and for the wider bass community. RIP Nick 😢❤

    Re above; had to google “School of rock”  as I’ve seen it a couple of times, and absolutely no recollection of Henry “King Thumb” Thomas being in it 🤔

    Doh - Rock School, not School of rock........

    Never watched it, never seen or heard of the guy, but if he slaps a Thunder II he must be a discerning man of taste 👍

     

    I couldn't find a clip from Rock School that may have showed Henry playing his Westone, but here's part of one of the episodes from, I think, around the mid to late 80's. He's upgraded slightly -- to a Wal 5-string! 😊

    Could well be. It was a looooong time ago!

     

    Edit: just did a quick search, and you’re quite right - he did call himself ‘King Thumb’. Not sure where I got the ‘Magic’ from! 😁

     

    Hehe, indeed it was a long time ago - I'm slightly surprised I even remembered it, myself. (Just don't ask me what I had for breakfast! 😉)

    I still haven't read or seen what oil to put on this thing..... I don't understand why 

    Appreciate you're new to Basschat so welcome and apologies for the seemingly late reply but some topics get more 'traffic' than others and it depends who's around to answer specific questions.

    Personally, I've not been on BC for a while (just busy) and just spotted your posts, but in answer to your question, you might try the Jim Dunlop 65 series of cleaning products (including lemon oil).
    Nice TWB43 btw 👍. It just so happens I recently picked up another Tune, a TWB4Z (w/piezo pickup), right here on Basschat. They're excellent basses. Hope you enjoy yours 🙂
