I don't think the emails are meant for me - my name isn't Groovehacker?

They really were excellent at this time, I'm guessing you know about this? Filmed on the same tour 👍

Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who tries to match strap with bass!

This is close, needs to be more turquoise.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264779589856

Oof! That's a thing of beauty 😍

Malcolm had many different Gretsch guitars.

Yes, this has been my experience too.

Tbf that is the main question I keep coming back to - why? 😂 But I'd still like a go on it!

I imagine so, my point was that comparing 4 and 5 string versions of the same bass you won't get the same sound. This was my experience, others may disagree. My sound engineer brother is of the same opinion.

^^^ that's just showing off @NickA!

That is entirely dependent on the band 😉

A 4 string tuned BEAD will not sound the same as a 5 string, the extra wood makes a difference.

If sellers get twitchy about fees, simply pay using G&S then send a separate F&F payment to cover the fee 👍

I remember taping Voodoo Ray and Birthday (by the Sugarcubes) - I played that tape until it wore out. I fell in love with Bjork that evening and still feel it now 🙂

Those EMG TV recordings have some great stuff on Eg.
