All Things Must Beat. Share Anything Beatles!!

Michael Sadler from Saga with Rachel Flowers - Nights In White Satin. Michael sounds terrific and what makes this even more amazing is that Rachel is a blind musician who plays great.
Post anything? here is my Custom Yellow Sub bass. She is awesome and plays and sounds great.
^^ Ha ha! That reminds me of one time when I was 15. I got hauled in to the city jail for underage drinking.
When my dad came to take me home, they told him that when I was in the cell, I was singing "Yellow Submarine". So I'm sure they were glad to get me out of there and on my way!!
(Heck, even I never liked that song!!)

That reminds me of a song we did in a band in the late '00s.
@WalWarrior - Too cool! That's certainly the most detailed Yellow Sub bass I've seen to date...and that Glove headstock! I dig how the volume and tone knobs are incorporated into the porthole windows.
- What's the story about the bass design and artistry?
- Are you in a Beatles band?
- How often do you get to perform with it?
@nixdad Thanks, I had this commissioned for me back in 2010. Really cool bass, one of a kind in this configuration. Lindy Fralin Pickups, John East controls, Sperzel locking tuners, Dunlop locks. She sounds sweet with really low action. I have a custom case for her as well. That Dreadful Flying Glove Headstock is the coolest. I was in a Beatles tribute back in 2008 - 2012. I'd like to find some other cats to revive it. I used it with my prog rock band Perfect Element up until that act disbanded in 2013. She a fun instrument. A real head turner that's for sure. Thanks for asking. Take care- Dennis@WalWarrior - Too cool! That's certainly the most detailed Yellow Sub bass I've seen to date...and that Glove headstock!

Thanks for sharing the backstory, Dennis. Cool to hear that the bass plays as well as it does, and that it has survived unscathed (that Flying Glove headstock looks rather precarious!)
Hopefully you can get the tribute band back together. I've been in an acoustic/electric Beatles band with a bunch of buddies of mine sine 2012, and it's been an absolute blast!

I have something Beatles related to share. Here’s a drummer I met at Grimey’s Records in Nashville a few weeks ago.
I can't resist.
George has his what am I doing here scowl, Ringo is just trying to get into the frame, Paul looks like he just farted, John is holding his breath thinking take the photo fast.
My brother has the CD akbum of all the different bands doing Stairway from the Australian show, The Money or the Gun.
But this one is the best, easily.
Hey Chris -
I understand what you mean about the Flying Glove Headstock. One wrong move and that index finger is History. Waycool about your acoustic Beatles act. I'll check out your website. Thanks again and take care -
Dennis
