  1. I recall paying £120 with a hard case in late '74, but as it's almost fifty years who knows?
  2. I bought a Hayman 4040 in Denmark Street in late 1974. But I never slapped it.
  3. True enough. Here he is with Steve Marriot on drums and David Hemmings on guitar.
  4. Could you get away with a 4-strng Precision tuned BEAD?
  5. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-fbss-610-short-scale-bass-gig-bag/921347
  6. OK, I remember Yardley's. I bought an Aria there in probably 1980/81
  7. When? Was it before Level 42?
  8. Guitar is sometimes slightly too forward, if you ask me, but bass sounds fine, especially on Ticket, nice tone. Occasionally, e.g. Come Back Down, bass could be a little more prominent but still ok I'd say.
  9. I remember Jones & Crossland. And George Clay in Broad Street. And Wasp on Bristol Street with Nest Studio underneath. And some others that I don't recall the names of.
  10. Where was Musical Exchanges? One memory says Snow Hill and the other says Broad Street. I'm 35 years away from Brum, some of it is a bit vague now.
  11. He doesn't quite deny it. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/mar/08/slade-guitarist-dave-hill-stroke-depression-glam-rock
  12. I've heard Dave Hill tells a different story.
  13. Yes, I remember the Navigation Street corner shop but I bought the Precision in Dale End. It's possible it was early 1977 and not 1976.
  14. That's Slade's drummer Don Powell and I claim my £5.
  15. I bought a Fender Precision there in 1976.
  16. Spot the difference ...
  17. I'm off to bed then, good night.
  18. Same European tour ...
