As Mykesbass said, we're in that time when the great pioneers will be leaving us. I loved those early Airplane albums. RIP.

Ho hum. It was worse than I expected. Much as I love his playing I was involuntarily cringing with almost every (bar Al Green) selection. His work still stands. RIP.

Not sure if it's a repeat. On the Vintage TV channel (Sky 369) at 5pm. An hour long show with him choosing his 'vintage' tracks, apparently (inc an AC/DC track according to the listing.... hmm). Worth a watch for fellow Fraser fans, though I imagine it will be cursed with the Vintage channel blandness.

Received my own Fender part from Paddy just as fast as Sparky Mark and concur resoundingly with previous complimentary sentiments - cheers, Paddy

Thanks guys - for some reason HB1s seem to be in short supply everywhere and even so the 80 quid set from Axesrus is starting to look the norm at the mo'. So now I have to discover if Gotoh have a tuner with the screw hole spacings of the HB1. :-)

Thanks, guys - Gotoh are certainly looking like a good and cheaper alternative to Hipshot.

Finally discovered that the drop-in replacement Hipshot tuners for my CV PB are Hipshot HB1s. Axesrus have them at £80 a set - just wondering if anyone knows anywhere here in the UK or overseas where they'd be cheaper (adding overseas postage from eg the US might end up being almost the same, I suspect). For that matter any other comparable quality brand - I've never upgraded tuners before so I'm only going by reputation. Gotoh? Cheers.

[/quote] Indeedy. The disturbing thing about hearing all these 'isolated' bass tracks that have appeared now is how much technique and how many notes get lost in the mix, notwithstanding some (wonderful) hard stereo 60s mixes allowing for sharply panned bass line clarity: eg Les Hurdle's session playing on a stereo 'Baby, Now That I've Found You' by the Foundations....

Re the session player/fees aspect - I'm sure I found a far wider ranging web page (union/fees issues) that cited the above record company 'attitude' re the recording of the song. And an earlier band version of the song may or may not have played a part in using session players - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everlasting_Love#Overview It's not as though the use of session players was uncommon....
