I've always assumed this is the bass played on Looking On. An immense tone for an immense album.

Me too! Entwistle was responsible for my love of flash and technique, but Bedders and John Deacon planted the seed, without me realising it at the time.

My sister-in-law's ex-boyfriend's grandad played in a jazz band with Spike Milligan. That's the best I can do... That's an interesting pair of shoes your great grandfather is wearing!

Agreed. John, I'm Only Dancing was the first full song I learnt to play on bass - only because it happened to be transcribed in the bass magazine I had just bought. An important song for me, still love it.

It's astounding. And quite a feat to (not) pull off. I expect they'll make a film about it.

You were doing so well up to this...

I've always meant to check who actually played the bass on this song. It sounds like the Bass VI to me, which was usually handled by John or George, but melodically it sounds like Paul. Perhaps it was Ringo. It's always been one of my favourite Beatles bass lines - those double stops really make it.

Yes. Yes it was.

I've bought, sold and traded with Mark many times, all great experiences. I sold Mark a bass a couple of years ago which unfortunately had a small lacquer crack on the neck. Nothing major but it wasn't something he wanted to sell on. He sent the bass back to me at his own expense and in the hard case I'd sold to him with a different bass. He's a good chap.

Greta Van Fleet I think...

This.

Well GSS say it's 600w... I'd love to bring it round and let you have a look.

Hmm... I'm getting 'Sandberg on a Peavey body' vibes.
