Anyone remember Night Of The Guitars from waaaaaaaaaaaay back in th 80's ? I watched the whole show and was mightily impressed with bass player Livingstone Brown, playing here in this vid with the late Pete Haycock ( RIP ) formerly of the Climax Blues Band Check L B's playing on this track of Pete's - Dr Brown I Presume - wonderful feel

Finding time to practice with 4 kids So you're in a 5 piece ?

You could murder that V body ?

You were lucky. Wait till you get there next time and there's a few brain dead motorists all on it at once and you'll see

MK beats all in terms of number of roundabouts, and i admit i've been lost there because every street looks like a clone of all the others, but for sheer madness, Swindon takes the biscuit. It's called the Magic Roundabout because it's sheer magic if you can get through it

One of Charic's virtual baseball bats ?

Nice glasses mate . Very Q from the Bond films

Hi Charlie !

Quite right

According to history, original logos were a G in a circle with Goodfellow underneath. Also there was a G in a round circle with Handcrafted England beneath. Not sure which was earlier or which was later I think they retained the logo when Lowden took over in 87 till BG left and started Nightingale Guitars. The logo changed i think, when BG left Lowden/GB, but i've never seen a Goodfellow of any era with a logo like that BJ Goodfellow. That finish looks utter sh!te too - not very Goodfellow at all

I hate that place. Especially that bluddy magic roundabout, as they call it round these here parts

If you'd like an objective road tester , i'll volunteer. I'm prepared to drive to Swindon if you can too

Peavey Rudy Sarzo sig 4 string

I think i would avoid commissioning a bass from them if that's the kind of customer service you get. Any handbuilt bass could have a problem, but its how it's dealt with that is just as important. I would only really trust the big players on Basschat for a custom build. Andy or Alan - and Christine if she ever went for commissions

The photo above is similar to how Brand X god Percy Jones started with fretless. I believe he had an old ( Gretsch ? ) and ripped out the frets from under the G string only. He can be heard on 1 or 2 tracks i believe, on the earliest album. The track Running On Three springs to mind

Very true sir.

People can put a spin on anything, it seems. I'd like to hear that bass through a fluff filter

Stunningly unusual

Just buy a '64 Burns Sonic and one of those toy Hartke combos and you'll nail it

That rear body shot reminds of some Chippendale furniture. And at that price, could they not have fitted some less rusty strings, and fitted them properly ?

It gets better

If the whole exercise was just a big laugh then furry muff. Although i don't see the humour. I should get out more, natch
