Does anyone know Roger Walters?

[Eldon Tyrell]

No? Me neither, but he must be famous. Andertons is selling his Fender signature bass (second hand) 😁

You don't know Roger?

Maybe read it again carefully. Hint, it is not the "Roger" bit 😉

According to wikipedia he was an architect who worked on the Thames Barrier and redevelopment of Covent Garden. It doesn't say anything about his bass playing, though. 😁

[Lozz196]

He was bassist in Pink Flod I think…….

I've lost count of the amount of bassists I would never have heard of if it weren't for their signature bass models. Roger was definitely one of them even though I knew of Pink Floyd since I was quite young.

Oh he was always a maple on black P bass guy, whenever he had time to jam in Covent Garden!

David Gilmour will be along in a minute to redo the advert.

Whoever Roger Walters is there must be a chance that he's less of a bellend than another bloke who plays a bass like that.

I spot an opportunity for cunning guitar companies to sell "signature" models without having to pay the artists. Look out for the new Steve Via model from Ibanez any day now.

Good idea. However, it is probably only creating a business opportunity for the artists' lawyers.

I suspect you're thinking of the Roger Waters signature models.

I'm excitedly looking forward to receiving my Jaydee Mary King bass.

I was going to get the Buff McKagan P-Bass, but I can’t cope with the 15lb weight

Maybe the Fluff McKagan will be more suitable?

[Acebassmusic]

Maybe Andertons have been following the "Ruin a Band or musician's name by replacing a single letter" thread on here?

 

Don't Fodera make a Victor Woolen bass? 🤣
