Dem Bones Dem Bones Dem Dry Bones - Delta Rhythm Boys

In the early 80s, I saw Jeff Beck on the There & Back tour at the Hammersmith Odeon. This still rates as one of my top 3 gigs of all time. Although everyone was great, it was Simon Phillips’ drum solo that had everyone on their feet. I was expecting the usual bore fest that drum solos normally are, but SP’s energy, speed, accuracy, musicality and just sheer stamina were a sight to behold. Just as soon as you thought it was over, or he was going for the obligatory slow section, he just launched full speed into another round of virtuosity. I’ve never seen the like since. I also saw Segovia at the Festival Hall on the Southbank. He must’ve been 80 at the time and shuffled on stage very slowly and I was ready to be embarrassed for him. Not at all. As soon as he sat and took up his playing position, the years fell away and he just ripped up and down the fretboard. A proper moment.

Sadowsky SBP-2 and MXR M87. As I currently use passive basses, the SBP-2 just sprinkles 'fairy dust' on my tone, whilst the M87 (new to me this year and only used once live) just adds that pop to make my bass sit nicely in the mix, it's at the end of my chain, rather like you would for a recording.

You’ve used the word need. This is BC. Go away and give yourself a good talking to. Hmm, I think I may used that word in this very thread - that’s me off to the naughty step for a self inflicted tongue lashing .

All kinds of orange.

(Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - EJ) - oh nuts! Too slow - again! As you were... Hold on, that still works. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - EJ

They don’t seem at all edible to me, although you can chew them for a long, long while. Oh, hang on...

Don’t Get Me Wrong (see what I did there), I like my Casino, it just seems wrong on a bass forum. With a bit of easing..

Whole of the Moon - Waterboys

The eagles have landed. Fitted to my Epi Casino as all my basses have oversized buttons. Obviously, I need a new bass 😁.
