Delberthot Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'm pretty sure the bass player from Ska Face (who are from Blackpool) is a member here but I am having trouble locating him. I'm just back from blackpool and we saw them last weekend at the Venue in Cleveleys. They were absolutely fantastic. One of the best bands I've heard in a long time. Drunk as a skunk (me that is) but loved the show. Are you here Ska man? Cos I want to know what bass you have - it was a bizarre Epiphone looking beautiful sounding ska bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos I want to know what bass you have - it was a bizarre Epiphone looking beautiful sounding ska bass Hello Delbert It's Hector here from Ska Face - firstly thanks very much for the compliments - all I know about the Epiphone is that it was made in '72. I got it at Frets in Cleveleys and only started using it on the insistence of Molly my 3 year old daughter who frequently asked "Are you going to play the red one tonight Daddy? I like the red one." So glad you had a great night and don't worry - I bet I was more pissed than you that night in The Venue, it was my birthday weekend and I was on an all dayer with my mate before the show... Did I get away with it? I don't normally indulge to anywhere near that degree, but hey, it was my birthday... Check out our Facebook site (search for ska faces) - there is a cracking 'from the crowd' video from the night in 'my videos' - Lip up Fatty (HQ) - You might be on it!

tony_m Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Finally got round to catching Ska Face on Friday night at Uncle Tom's - can't recommend them highly enough, excellent band. And the Epiphone in question is indeed a fine sounding bass, ably covering a range of tones from The Jam to Bob Marley. Niiiiice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hector SkaFace's bass looks to me like an Epiphone ET280 - a not-uncommon mid 70s Matsumoku-built Japcrap. A few of them have been up for grabs here, including this high-profile example: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=57034"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=57034[/url] Never had one myself but I certainly wouldn't say no.
