[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1320338822' post='1425569'] She had a long article in G&B magazine a couple of months ago. That bass was her dad's & he gave it to her when she left the "Osmonds" type family group they had going to go pro. She still has it. Meanwhile for comparison; the bass-playing skills of two of her contemporaries............

It is super light weight too!

I used to play bass in a band with her son, she's a great player (this clip doesn't really show her bass skills very well) and she has the nicest all original 57 p bass I have ever played! If I could buy any bass it would probably be that one!

Thank you

HAHA that is hilarious....I might just give him my basses to relic in the future.....then again maybe not!

Thanks guys....Yeah Clarky, I'm getting a bit fed up of the other stuff I do! just want to concentrate on the music I really enjoy from now on...been on a real high since getting together with the guy on monday, everything is just coming together so quickly but also good quality which is nice!

Thanks mate. Were Brighton based so I'll let you know when we have a gig! We managed to get another 6 songs nearly written over the session too which so should have a decent set together in a week or so. Wes

Hello all, heres my new 60's band project - Rocket Summers It's only been going a couple days so the demos are rough. Hope you all like! http://soundcloud.com/rocket-summers/i-feel-free http://soundcloud.com/rocket-summers/golden-sun http://soundcloud.com/rocket-summers/hope http://soundcloud.com/rocket-summers/kitchen-song

It is a shame this has happened again and I totally believe that Gibson are innocent. When I was out at the factory this time last year we were shown how they import their woods and how they choose the sources extremely carefully, especially after the raid in 2009. It;s more about politics I think with the tea party association. They finish 600 guitars a day in the USA factory and about 70 a day in the custom shop. It is definitely a sight worth seeing and makes you realise just how much they lost when they had the flood! 0ver 2000 guitars into the chipper

Pay will be decided upon experience etc. please email [email protected] for more info.
