ARGH Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 BBC4,early on,just surfing channels,and a pleasant shock..Maple Necks,Rosewood necks,a few freaky whacked out paint jobs...Jimmy Saville in an Arran Sweater with a major league Turtle neck... They must have had cash in those days,was the Fender P around £100 due to import duty in the 60s? Noticed a lot of flatwounds being mimed with as well on the footage.

I wondered if it was a trecision that had been cut down but the headstock didnt look right Yes he does look a bit like paul whitehouse, At the time he was seen as ultra cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I was 14. Falling in love with 'Relics', Yes, Wishbone Ash and Afghan coats if I can remember correctly. Oh as well as the girl next door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 It's a 1966 slab-bodied Precision, of which very few were made and almost all were distributed in the UK. Famously played by Ace, Entwistle and your man out of T-Rex. Very mysterious basses - find one, and you'll be a rich man (or woman). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Cooke Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 ah... TOTP, late 60's early 70's... we used to have it on every week in the common room... total silence as we'd have a reel to reel tape recorder set up with the microphone up to the speaker to record it...

squire5 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Did anyone notice the Fender 5 string being played by Alan Price's bassist.Not many of them about.Ace Kefford's bass seemed to have a slight mod around the top bout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzibass Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Ok - fast forward to 1971 Middle of the Road - Jazz bass and Sally Carr looking great in those hot pants [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq6TRf2iMbI&feature=related"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq6TRf2iMbI&...feature=related[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top horn doesnt look right, and it almost looked squashed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
