jezzaboy Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I`m watching this even though most of the music made in the 80`s is the spawn of the devil, to check out the bass guitars. So far I`ve seen Nick Begs of Kajagoogoo`s Wal and now it`s Pino with his Stingray fretless. What`s next? Some right dodgy barnets going on there!!

Cat Burrito Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I remember all of this the first time around and didn't care for it too much then. Definitely born into the wrong era. I started playing in the 80s too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Perhaps Craig from Bros playing a P-bass had more of an influence on me than I realised?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthumb Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Ha ha! Just been watching too. Terry Trent Derby or what ever his name was, bass player had a funky looking Thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I saw Nena, talk about a bloody mime act! The band didn't even bother to make it look like they were playing! Shame there was no Tony Butler with an Aria! Or even a Warwick Thumb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
