RichF Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 assume that is one of the original Precision basses I saw him play in the 82 tour. Still in my top 5 gigs of all time. I was at the Coasters, Tiffany's, and Playhouse gigs of the New Gold Tour - brilliant info and photos here including more of the Precision.

Beautifully produced album as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Mr. Forbes & Brian McGee have got back together to form 'New Gold Dreamers', similar to what Bruce & Rick did with 'From the Jam'. I'm looking forward to when they do some gigs or a tour, & have cahnce to hear the old classic SM stuff played the way they should be. Love his playing on this Edited December 8, 2009 by nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
