    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.......!!

    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!

    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.

    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
