I could buy into that as a concept. I mean, talk about tone. We all know it wasn’t because of his gear, but still…

That looks pretty great to me. Of course, it’s all about how it plays, but. $5K seems about right for that.

He just seems like such an excellent dude. Watching him recite Tolkien and Keats to Robert Plant was onr of the purest things I have ever seen. He’s clever, kind and pleasant and I am confident his future is bright. Also, I have played with his bandleader Louis and Louis has just played with...

I spent my 40th birthday recording in Studio 2 there and it is one of the absolute highlights of my life. It sounds like it was similarly magical for you.

Thanks. I have the screw, so it seems like just a matter of lining that up with the mounting ring beneath the spring. Assuming that the mounting ring hasn’t broken off somehow.

Oh dear, I took my Hofner out today and it seems some gremlins got inside the case when I put in there last time. The treble side of the bridge pickup is hanging down inside the body. I do know a lot about fixing things on basses after so many years of playing, but I must admit I have never...

That is a beautiful P bass and I am certain your Grandfather would want you to play it.

I just got back from watching the new film of Elvis in the early 70s in Vegas. It’s previously unseen film and they also found the multitrack recordings. It’s Elvis at his peak as a performer and in excellent voice. The main standout to me was how great Jerry Scheff and Ronnie Tutt were. They...

A lot of you will already know this, but Band On The Run was recorded under adverse conditions in Lagos, Nigeria. Two band members quit the night before they left, leaving just Paul, Linda and Denny Laine, and when they got to Nigeria, they found that the EMI studio there was in very bad...

One of the most wonderfully funny people to ever grace us.

Just a note of encouragement as I bought a BX-1 on eBay about 2 months ago for an 80s gig and find it a real pleasure to play. I definitely checked out the bass you bought, but realized I didn’t have the fortitude for such a project.

It’s great that you’re 15 and love Chris Squire! You can really learn a lot about melody, harmony and phrasing by learning his bass lines and that applies to any bass you are playing. Everyone on this forum knows that feeling of desperately wanting a certain instrument, but you have a lot of...

One for Thanksgiving. This is our Goosey boy!

I went out to a bar in NYC once after a show and, after a few, it sounded like backwards tapes. Lovely fellas, as far as I can tell.

I’m going to be in Cardiff, Wales next week. I have been there a few times and have good friends there. I told my buddy that this time, I want to make sure to visit the Pino Palladino museum, but only if there are no lines. Apparently, civilians don’t appreciate fretless bass humor.
