Drumming was overly enthusiastic and the addition of a sax was superfluous. Sounded more like a jam, certainly not well rehearsed. I’m not a huge Queen fan, but they were so slick, moving seamlessly from an abbreviated version of one tune to another. Plainly, well rehearsed. If I were the three other members of U2, there would have been words about Bono’s excursion into the audience. Playing that riff over and over, for so long would have been wearing, not to mention boring. EDIT: The Who doing Won’t Get Fooled Again was an absolute car crash.

Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson

It also helps when said guitarist is Johnny Turnbull (Blockheads), who always just fits right in. Didn’t realise it was him on the Live Aid gig and not Steve Bolton, until watching it on Saturday. It also helps when Ian Kewley is the MD too.

I’m so tempted to put that into What3Words to see where (if anywhere) it is.

I was hoping to be a last minute addition for this get together, but it was not to be. Hope you all had/are having fun.

Paul Young was just on BBC2 on the Live Aid gig, Pino laying it down on the ‘Ray, nicely high in the mix - a perfectly timed advert.

I thought id go back and see if things had changed and they have. 1st - Yamaha BB300 Go to - Maruszczyk Elwood L custom My bass- Maruszczyk Elwood L custom - not unexpected as this was built to my spec.

Good to know.

That's a lovely sheen you have managed to achieve there, looks great.

Cherry Pie - Warrant

Time to get back on topic perhaps?

No Milk Today - Herman's Hermits

They are exceptional basses, if you don’t mind the relic finish (I don’t mind at all). Great playability and stunning tone from the SD custom pickup.

I have a cream (yellow) version of these, really nice bass, better than any of the MiM ones I tried, both in tone and playability.

Despite EBMM having a whole slew of signature guitars, they’ve never been as quick/as generous with signature basses. Other than the OLP Tony Levin, there’s not an EBMM Levin ‘Ray, despite him playing them for decades, without a break.

Watched it, last night, thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought Lee and Russ Kunkel came across really well; grounded, likeable chaps.

Pino is the reason I’ve always had a fretless and one of the main reasons I play bass at all. Having played a fretless from almost the get go, I (think I) managed to get a handle on it early enough to get over the, “Yikes, that sounds horrible!” Opinions differ of course .

It’s just occurred to me that there has been the Fender PP sig, now we have the MM PP sig, when are Moon going to bring out a PP sig?

Pino also used his FL ‘Ray with PSP, not really that recent, but still in the last 15 years. FWIW, I played Pino’s ‘Ray, many, many years ago. I don’t remember much about the feel, tone, etc, just feeling really nervous 😬. Dammit, I now have ‘Ray GAS again, even though I know they’re not really my thing!

The fretted version does, but not the FL, so no savings.
