    Awwww, I’m so sorry, I’ve only just seen your question - apologies. 😇 Weight is 18.5kg, or 40.79lbs. 👍

    Thanks Tom. 👍 I can’t fault it - TBH, it’s more than I need as we always DI. Hence, I’ll got for a little combo as a backup. This needs to be cranked up and used! 😀

    Just read on FB, he’s out again! 🫣

    Quoting myself here…..just looked at the Wiki album write up, and the album has about 3 bassists! Says Phil Manzanera played bass on this! Don’t know why Gary isn’t on the whole album. Don’t know what he’s doing now?

    Gary looks pretty cool here too….love this ‘later’ track, always dug the driving bass.

    When I was on Twitter (haven’t used it in years), I had an interaction with John Gustafson’s daughter. I’d mentioned his Roxy work, how great he was, and she messaged me to say thank you. Thought that was really nice. I responded in telling how her how her Dad’s name is still held in high regard in bass circles. She said how unassuming he was, but knew he’d love the thought that we’re still being inspired by his playing.

    Some of us who’ve been on here long enough get that! 😁

    Maybe that’s why Live at Leeds stands alone for me……bass and drums sound great on that. 👍

    We played a festival last Summer, Dodgy were on the bill too. They were good. I actually saw them in ‘93 about the time of the first album. Singer/bass man had a white Ricky IIRC. They’ve a separate bassist now, think there was about 5 or 6 people onstage. Not my bag musically, but a good watch, and they have a good number of ‘known’ tracks in their arsenal, always impressive. 👍

    Was he gigging a T’bird in ‘71? Only ask as he makes a point in the video of recording Who’s Next with the iconic Precision. 😀

    I drove to Will at Bass Bros, thats a 350-mile round trip for me from down here. It was well worth it, I must add. 👌

    I watched a fair bit, but it wasn’t a particularly engaging experience. JE was clearly a fab player (although I’ve never cared for much of his tone bar Live At Leeds), but doesn’t come across as particularly engaged or interested. It could be me - the band I heard on that live album I could never hear on any of their studio records (bar A Quick One)…leading me to a not particularly favourable opinion of The Who. Who By Numbers is ok, but for me, what followed was pretty shocking - odd good bits - but…..sorry fans! 🫣

    Markbass Ninja cab - 2x12 - 600w. Amazing and powerful cab, in unmarked condition. These are now discontinued and very hard to source. Comes with a (used) Hot Covers cover - now £375. Only selling as it’s unused. I gig my 2x10 exclusively, and ideally want a combo as my backup. I haven’t got packaging, so listing this initially as collection only. Located in New Romney in Kent. Only asking £400. Bank transfer, PayPal ‘friend’ or old fashioned cash. Pages of feedback on here going back 15+ years. Please PM with any questions, thanks for looking! SB 😀

    Loved Odelay when it came out, Midnite Vultures too. Since then, he’s not really grabbed me, tried a couple of more recent albums, but found them quite hard to like, just a bit bland, which he certainly wasn’t back in the 90s. Odelay came out at the right time - I was 22 in the Summer of ‘96, and that record will always sum up that period. Beck was really NME-coolness back then….but times move on, and he’s certainly a long way from that musically now.

    Wonder why they had to make the reason so public? Most of these things end with plain old musical differences or concentration on other projects, etc. Seems a bit disloyal to throw Zak under the bus, whatever the circumstances.
