With his more than passing resemblance to Fred; mystery-solving pal of Scooby-doo, I'd imagine him driving one of these.....
-
Jeez, I'm come over all nostalgic - and the first EVER time that I've it seen it in colour! Thanks for sharing, Ricky

When I was about 7 I had a pair of Stingray swim fins - basically little plastic fins that clipped onto your wrists; they didn't work, but you looked cooler whilst you were drowning..... Just thought I'd share that Anyone remember Marine Boy and his Oxygum? (enabled him to breathe underwater)
-
Good advice re the wristbands, reckon I'll try those too I carry a little clip-on mains powered fan in my gig-bag for those really sweaty gigs - there's usually something handy to clip it onto - and also tend to use coated strings these days (DR Black Beauties)

1967 Gibson EB-2 Cherry Red - Near Mint / Epiphone Rivoli
Shaggy replied to christoff_reid's topic in Basses For Sale
Beautiful - I have a 1969 EB-2DC, they are sooooooo classy in the cherry finish The baritone switch is (I believe) a capacitor "choke" that filters out most of the upper frequencies but leaves the bass and midrange thick and punchy. Instant blues rock machine. Must have been a pretty special P bass to let this go - bump for vintage Gibbo goodness. -
It's got that 1970's Soho vibe hasn't it? we need to hear yours, Chris......
-
Porn name = Cherry Blomquist did we establish who the bloke in the OP pic was?
-
Jeez, you missed out one of the main brilliant bonuses - the funky blue LED's on the front....... Good score!
-
would you really let someone called "Globewang" near your nuts?

Hemsby Marchnad Caerfyrddin not convincing as potential Rock God.......

I used to have a late '70's Bassman 135 silverface - like thodrik says; a bit underpowered for these days and as a gigging all-valve amp I prefer the Mesa D-180 I use now, but it does get my vote as the best looking amp ever made...... Simple, dependable, great clean tone; only really breaks into overdrive when pushed to the very limit
-
Another - pretty much vocals over a very simple bass riff -
-
Lol, I just thought it fitted the OP criteria - agreed it can be a bit dirge-y unless covered by a really good singer (and likewise I used to nod off when playing it years ago in a covers band - same with "with or without you") but the original is a great and powerful song. Some really good examples in posts above, although some I wouldn't call all that simple
-
Walk on the wild side - Lou Reed Come together - Beatles Zombie - Cranberries Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
-
I'd be able to pick myself out of any lineup.....
-
Same as a Wal-nut or maybe even a Wal-ly The switching options would be easy to do and would make this such a versatile beastie - if I didn't already have 3 FL's (strangely enough including a Wal and an Ovation Magnum 1 a la Barry Adamson) I'd be all over this Very sorry to hear about your Mums situation Chris, I've been in the same boat for a couple of years - hope things improve mate! -
Fab FL Chris! Whats the body and neck wood - padouk?
-
You mean to say that you don't?

We once auditioned a drummer who not only had the fancy drummers gloves, but special fancy drummers shoes. On seeing this, the guitarist muttered to me; "this guy will either be amazing, or totally shite" Guess which he was...... Back to OP - 17 basses, but the slightly worrying thing is that I have a different strap for each one
-
Not in the same class as The Goodies excellent "Funky Gibbon"....... Back to the OP; no mention yet of the endearing double-entendre of "My ding-a-ling" - Chuck Berry - and "(Don't mess with) My toot toot" - Denise LaSalle
-
There are so many, really Radio 2 favourite "Hotel California" (Eagles) is supposed to be about heroin addiction, and "House of the Rising Sun" is famously risque, about a brothel (lyrics tamed down for the Animals version)

If you're mindless, please take mine..... (Jo the waiter / Gary Numan)

Happy Jack is yer man for this All I know is the President was the top line model for both guitar and bass, and they don't seem to be worth as much as you think they should be (compared to Gibsons, Guilds etc) Lovely looker

Love the HH V-S!
