Cygnus x-1 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I went to see Glenn at Manchester last thursday and what a brilliant gig it was! I was looking forward to hearing and seeing the Yam BB2024 that he uses but Glenn was instead using a beat up old red with maple board precision type bass, not sure what it was? don't think it was a Fender logo, maybe an old Tokai? The sound was awesome, really funky and powerfull with loads of overdrive. Anyone know what the bass was? cheers, Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Saw Glenn on Weds in Nottm, couldn't make out any logo on the headstock but the lighting wasn't great. Looked to have plenty of wear on it, genuine rather than faked 'road worn' effected. Despite having a bit of a cold and being vocally undermixed for the first part of the set he sounded in good form for someone who must be well into his 50's by now. Still hitting some unfeasibly high notes! Bass playing pretty nifty in places as well, works the crowd like the real pro he is. Storming version of Burn for the encore.

bottlebassman Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Saw him at The Sage in Gateshead on monday night. 1st time I have seen "The voice of rock", must say he was superb, what a voice! Great bass playing too! Looked like an old Precision to these eyes, he did have a drop "D" tuner on it. Thought the support act, Scott McKeon, was great too.

Must admit i'm embaresed to say, i've never heared of them until now! The red Nash of Glenn's looked and sounded superb. Doesn't he normally use a Fender Jazz or more recently BB2024x? Agree with bottlebassman about Scott McKeon, very good. Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analog kid Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Saw Glenn at Bilston last Tuesday What an awesome show,just rocked from start to finish. He still is one of the best Rock Vocalists and Rock Bassists in the Business. A massive influence on me when i started playing Bass in 1976,with 2 of my favourite Bass lps of all time Made In Europe and Come Taste The Band being my bibles. Still mega cool! ...off for another fix at Leamington Spa on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 A friend of mine is a sound engineer and has worked for a lot of bands including Glenn Hughes.. A couple of years ago I was at his place and there was a gigbag in the corner..I asked what it was and it turned out to be Glenn Hughes' Vigier bass. I was allowed to give it a try and really liked the feel of that bass.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofthestuntmen Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Watched a few of the Tour Diaries that he posted on Youtube. Lot of backstage, tour bus, soundcheck stuff. Can't find a link, but search Glenn Hughes Tour 2010 and his page will come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
