Anyone else catch Mr Sumner on the telly last night performing at the Radio 2 concert in Preston? I must have heard these songs hundreds of times and he's probably played them thousands but he keeps them so fresh and enjoyable. I've always loved Sting's bass playing but he really smashes it here. Lovely tasteful and interesting guitar playing by Dominic Miller too. Give it a watch! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0022vt9

There really is something just so understated and classy about those Okamoto's. Even though I already own a great P bass it just makes me want to get another 😋

Wow, just stumbled on him for the first time! I think he is absolute class and I love the 'alter ego' thing. This is the first video that YouTube served up and what a performance... https://youtu.be/eZRzsrR44Ag?si=wlalIODQd2fD4duL

So if your dad does dodgy stuff you aren't allowed to get on and get recognition for your own achievements? 🤔 Like @godathunder my daughter also likes him and when I took her to see him a couple of years ago I was really impressed. He is a proper old school rock performer and the packed crowd lapped him up. I say fair play to him for recognising how massively expensive gigs/festivals have become and doing something practical about it.

This is an excellent video on so many levels. It is such a pleasure to listen to Freddie play and to talk about stuff. The interviewer asks such good questions as well and seems to know exactly what the nerds among us want to know! Thanks for posting 👍

Wholeheartedly agree with you. Really great interview and Ian really manages to get loads from Tim. In the past I tended to find Ian a bit annoying but I now think I think that is due to his vids with Scott Devine - who I happen to like very much as a person and a teacher. Individually really great presenters, teachers and interviewers but together they are destabilised and are a bit much for me. I think Ian is a class act though, particularly after watching the above video.

Personally I think both pickups on full, tone wide open should get a pretty good classic J clank. Give it a nice new set of round wound strings and a basic set up and you'll be laughing. Not sure what the electrics are on these particular basses but judging by the Hipshot tuning pegs these are likely really decent instruments.

Sold a Miles Copeland book to @moley6knipe aka Colin. Very quick and easy process from start to finish. Another great basschatter!

Lovely quick, effortless sale of my DJ controller to Ian @Bunion. Great chat, comms and overall great BC'er to do business with 👍
