BassMunkee Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Chris Wolstenholme is one my favourite bassists of recent years, I do love his style and he has a Ricky so that's all fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top class professionals at the top of their game. Extremely entertaining.[/quote] +1. Can take or leave 'em on record (1 or 2 great songs mind) but think they look like a tremendous live act.

My ashdown rig needs another cab (I need money first though...)! Does anyone know why they fell out with Eavis and were only just allowed back?[/quote] You'll be needing a Shuker JJB P bass too then That's a fabulous punch in the face bass...

They happened to be in for a re-fret. Forget steel frets, JJ needs titanium ones; the fret wear was something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wurzels were a fine addition to the lineup and the Avalon Tent was massively overflowing with people - So I understand why Eavis would put up with having The Stranglers on his lineup to have The Wurzels too!
