Bassman Steve Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 103rd birthday of one Clarence Leo Fender today. All I can add to that is a heartfelt thank you for the music - or the bass to play it on anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelk27 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 For my '83 El Toro and '80 Sabre ... Oh, and the Strat and Jazz in my studio are also pretty good for being over 45 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have to acknowledge our indebtedness to this man. In his designs, he got it so, so right - which is remarkable enough; it's even more remarkable that he went on to repeat the feat!

RhysP Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I thought this thread was going to be about Leo Sayer. How very disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we do it all the time, and not just for religious festivals. Being Scots, Burn's night immediately springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
