I didn't think so at first , but the few shots you got of him confirmed it - just a bit more weight than his previous photos show :)

I might be proved wrong , but I'm pretty sure .[/quote]


E Sharp. Have you had an eye test recently? :rolleyes: :lol: That aint Mr Pratt, that`s the guy who plays bass with Robbie Williams. I would reconise that black P bass anywhere. If it`s Guy, he wearing a fat suit!!

I got his name, it`s Jerry Meehan.

[quote name='Chris2112' post='914178' date='Aug 3 2010, 07:25 PM']I always thought the "stack knob" configuration on those jazz basses was a good idea, surprised it didn't catch on![/quote]

If i ever buy another Jazz, it will be a Stacker. I really do prefer them.

I think Wes Finn will make my next bass though. A Stacker is 1 of 2 options.

In fact, i've just finished spec'ing out a Jazz-a-like fretless for a company with aVol/Vol/Tone/Tone configuration...I reckon the prototype is mine anyhow.

Same bass, same hairdoo but he does look like Guy. But it`s no.

I'm not playing for Roxy because I upset Bryan by smashing a Bass on the last night of his 2007 tour in New Zealand..

NZ does tend to have that effect though. It's the isolation you know.

Lot of time for Guy - anyone that close to Robert Palmer was always going to get some serious kudos from myself, being a local lad and all!

Robert Palmer, interestingly, also a BC Rich player. I remember Mal Stitch posting some old shots of Rob visiting the woodshop to collect a handmade Bich.

I suspect half of us here are the hand-watching bass nerds he mentions in his book, mind :)

Having not read Guy's book on the boards here I can safely stay on my high-horse.......
I just hope Tony Levin doesn't find out I read a borrowed copy of Beyond The Bass-Clef :)

I never got on with my stacker I have to say, If I'd kept it, I would have taken it back to Vol/Vol/Tone....but then I sold it!

Ah ha!! If this is Guy and the above statement is true, why are you on the Story of Roxy Music released in 2009, saying you are the bass player in Roxy?

See us, we`re no daft!! This aint Talkbass ya know!! :wacko: :wacko:

Just in case it is you, I bought your book and have not leant it to a soul. Yes I am a crawler

Can I please be the second to crawl after Jez?

I met Rafa Benitez in rather pissed form and ended up putting him in a headlock (it was my stag do - we thought he was a waiter); thus I feel the next famous person I meet should have a bit more dignity.

/Crawl.

Cocco, I bow down at your feet. You have taken crawling to a higher level (or lower level) than I could ever hope to reach :rolleyes:
