  1. You're correct about the EMGs. It's surprising about them, because you'd think they'd be harsh and clinical and not at all vintage sounding (whatever that means) but here is Bobby, along with Guy Pratt and Dave Gilmour, proving that that is not the case. Love this...
  2. Song Remains The Same - Led Zep
  3. Modern Music - Be Bop Deluxe
  4. Funeral For A Friend _ Elton John
  5. Surfin' USA - The Beach Boys
  6. Physical Graffiti is my favourite LZ album and one of my fave albums of all time, I don't think there's a duff track on it. Technically, a recording session compilation album (includes tracks from LZ4 & HotH) but none the worse for that. Recently, I've come to appreciate Houses... much more, so much quality on there, but much overlooked (maybe just by me) because of its placement between 4 & Graffiti. Too much focus on 4 has taken the shine off of it for me these days, but it was the album that finally got me into LZ after years of ignoring them (I was young and a Purple fan).
  7. The Rover Over The Hills & Far Away The Rain Song Achilles Last Stand What Is & What Should Never Be Trampled Underfoot Celebration Day Night Flight Ramble On Fool In The Rain Any order you like.
  8. Never Ending Story - Limahl
  9. Once Upon A Time In The West - Dire Straits
  10. Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
  11. Dancing With Tears In My Eyes - Ultravox
  12. Potential for increased £s come selling time? I've owned an ex-celeb bass. However, I didn't know this until I'd already bought it and asked if there was any history to it, just before I departed with my purchase (Bruce Thomas if you were wondering).
  13. Secret Agent - Rory Gallagher
  14. P, tone wide open, played with a pick is a sound heard on many a popular ditty. Not all Ps, or P types for that matter, sound the same though. My first bass was a BB300 (reversed P) and I had a full fat, new Fender P some years later. However, it wasn’t until I bought my old ‘63 P that the tone I heard Chuck Rainey employing on those Steely Dan albums or Bruce Foxton’s ‘Malice’ sound was heard and experienced up close and personal, proper wide grin moments. Interestingly enough, the ‘63 having been moved on some years ago, my JMJ Mustang achieves that very same tone.
  15. Arc of a Diver - Steve Winwood
  16. Breathless - Jerry Lee Lewis
  17. Mill Street Junction - Be Bop Deluxe
  18. Need? 🤔 Sorry, forgot where I am 👍🎉
  19. If I Were A Carpenter - Tim Hardin
  20. The Tide Is High - Blondie
  21. Empty Rooms - Gary Moore
  22. Sadly often overlooked when the naming of the greats takes place. He played on Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around; that’s a top bassline.
  23. It's a Long Way to Tipperary - John McCormack
  24. Marathon - Rush (only those of a certain vintage will get this)
  25. Yeah, it’s made from tone plastic, so it must be good.
