Another band that springs to mind with that description is Third World , if you listen to some of their albums they’ve got everything going on, especially, journey to Addis, I remember when these came out, the first one is still probably one of my favourites, great bassline and this is just timeless

Yeah, it’s not good is it 😞

Thanks, I’ve just had a look and all the tabs I have in safari all have the padlock, I’ll keep an eye out for that in future

Nice one, thanks 👍

Where’s that ped 🙂

Yeah, same 👍

BB235 on eBay, looks tidy, I’ve already got a Yamaha 5 , https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-Broad-Bass-BB235-5-String-Bass-Guitar-Boxed-/133741954389?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

Welcome sully 👍

Yeah, at 7.40 , I was just going to post it here

My best bitty McLean album

He was certainly a family man , I think he’s got about 41 children 🙂

Ok so I’m back on track now 🙂, this is a great recording of Crazy Baldhead at the rainbow in 1977 , I like playing this one, Aston really varies the bassline with subtle changes throughout the song, especially at 4.22 and 6.34

I’m no Aston ‘family man’ Barrett but I have got lots of jazz basses 😁

Brain meltdown, apologies 🙏

Thanks I must be losing it 🙄, I was looking at 6.30 this morning, I need more coffee 🙂

No, you Agadoo doo doo, push pineapple, shake the tree 😁

Club classic here

And this

On a blues theme, I was listening to this last night

She calls it a PITA, having basses in every room, why do you need so many? you can only play one 😁

Exactly Al, I’ve got friends who spend their money on fishing, cars, computers, all different things, because that’s their passion, and why not. Not so many years ago I was struggling to build my business and pay mortgages, and I couldn’t afford to buy the basses I wanted, now I’m in a better position, I’m making up for it 😁, I call it retail therapy , miss RB calls it something else 😂

Welcome Tony 👍

I don’t think you can have a bass that is too good for you, if it’s something you enjoy and you can afford it and it brings you pleasure, then why not own nice instruments , I’m sure there’s people out there that can play them better than you and I tegs, but it wouldn’t stop me buying what I want 🙂

Thanks, maybe next time Old man Riva👍

I really liked my 414 , it played and sounded great, but as you probably remember Al it had a problem with the neck , so I sold it to someone who was going to work on it, I’m hoping this one is Ok 🙂
