[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1387897360' post='2317014'] That pretty amazing that you were the man that introduced Nick to the world of bass! For what it's worth, I think Nick Beggs is one of the best British bass players of his generation , and I personally prefer his playing to some other more high-profile bassists ( Mark King) who get much more acclaim. I know he's a natural blonde , but I'm sure that in Kajagoogoo days and in the present he is getting a bit of "help" to be [i]that[/i] blonde .That's his prerogative of course, but the strain is starting to show. I saw Nick playing with Ellis , Beggs and Howard in the late 1980's and he had reverted to his natural colour and he was blonde but not bleached and he looked much better . On the subject of Ellis, Beggs and Howard, they were indeed as Apa says, a really good band and they should have had more success than they did. [/quote] Well I don't know about introducing him to bass but more allowed the opportunity for him to have a go! You could be right about his hair (listen to us babbling on about another guys hair.....!) tbh, I've not seen him for about 35 years!! Always remember him as a really nice guy.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1387807332' post='2315908'] I think Nick Beggs is a superb bass player and I have always admired his playing, but his hair is in need of some serious conditioning. It looks like he is colouring ( possibly even bleaching) the living daylights out of it , and it will all end in tears if he doesn't get a deep-penetrating moisturising treatment ( I would recommend avocado and olive oil) in the very near future. [/quote] Nah, his hair was always that colour! We were schoolmates and it was almost white when I knew him in Junior school. I think the first bass he picked up was the no-name pos I was playing when he was the drummer in our band when we were around 13 years old. Blimey, that was a long time ago.......!!

I used to use an Ampeg V4 guitar head. Brutal and thunderous I tells yer.

Just bought a Trace Twin valve from Russ and found him to be a thoroughly pleasant chap with endless reserves of patience as I sorted couriers etc. I'd buy from/ sell to Russ again without hesitation. Many thanks Russ, you're a Gent! Grahame

Just bought Marks SVP and found him to be a real pleasure to deal with. Everything happened as it should with some really enthusiastic packing skills to boot! Cheers Mark! Grahame

Just bought a DB860 from Lawrence and found him to be a thoroughly agreeable chap! Had a great chat with him and received a superbly packed Aggie in no time. Many thanks Lawrence! Cheers Grahame

I'd like to recommend [url="http://www.rdamplification.co.uk/"]this chap[/url]. My converted Sound City's in his gallery and it sounds the absolute nuts. Tell Rob what you'd like and he'll come up with the goods at a very fair price.

Just bought a Hipshot Xtender from dougal. Brilliantly straightforward to deal with! Very quick to post and some excellent packing too. Cheers dougal Grahame

Bought a GK head from James and found him to be a pleasant and all round top geezer to deal with! His packing is top notch too - loads of bubblewrap! Many thanks James! Cheers Grahame

Nick bought my Sansamp RBI today. He paid very promptly, turned up when he said he would and communicated well. Also found him to be a thoroughly pleasant chap and had an interesting chat when came to collect. He even managed to down a cup of my coffee with out gagging!! Wouldn't hesitate to deal with Nick again. Cheers Grahame
