Apologies for being pedantic. The Hohner and Spirit basses are probably the same basses but with different logos. Besides, seeing as you have one, you'll know they sound great anyway! :-)[/quote]

I think it was a Steinberger too. Recall when it came up on ebay, watched the auction.

"Supergrass is 10: The Best Of" is definitely worth a buy :)

The 'best of' looks pretty good, but the first 2 albums are full of great tracks - I got a special edition In It For The Money with b-sides and rare tracks off ebay for about 75p...cracking.

There's a track on the 'best of' called 'Bullet' that isn't on any other album...it absolutely melts my face every time I hear it. Love it.

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1105375' date='Jan 27 2011, 06:26 PM']I was so into I Should Coco when it came out. I found In It For the Money a bit of a let down but still enjoyed it. However I saw them on that tour in Cambridge and they were blown off stage by Spacehog, a band who's album I thought was weak but put on one of the best live shows I have ever seen. Supergrass by comparison looked like they didn't want to be there. I've still bought the albums and liked some of the songs. I think my expectations of them live really took a knocking that night[/quote]

Hey, BurritoBass it must be just you & me that got that Spacehog album! I still like it. I can't find many people who have ever heard of them. Never saw them live though, sounds like I missed out. I only saw Supergrass twice & they were great both times, but it was early days 1st & 2nd album time.

One of my most played albums of the 90's. Apart from 'Alright' which was played everywhere so much that I have grown to dislike it.
Oh, and 'She's So Loose' - one of my favourite tracks on any album ever!

I Should Coco is a fantastic album that comes from that fantasy world where I'm perpetually 21 and it's always summer. Impressively accomplished considering how young they were. There was a big buzz around about them locally when they first emerged, being from just down the road as they were. I always liked Mickey's basslines (I think he played an Ibanez Roadstar?) and while I lost interest in them after the second album I remember them very fondly.

Saw them a good few times, remember Mick Quinn rocking a black headless Steinberger at the Glasgow ABC a good number of years ago...it was that long ago, Seasick Steve was the support act before anyone really knew who Seasick Steve was at the time...!!

I saw him support somebody in the 12 bar Club in Denmark St. years ago. He was absolutely f***ing sh*t, can't believe how popular he became.
