Always a fan of the band through their many line-up changes but the current group of Andy Powell's band are phenomenal. Loved Martin Turner's early work with the band but Bob Skeat along with their young drummer make up a rhythm section second to none. IMHO. Saw them a few months back at Yoshi's in Oakland. Bob played a Stingray 5 string and what looked to be some sort of GK 6-10 rig. Killer tone and chops. If you're old(er):) like me and miss good melodic guitar rock check out their latest 'Blue Horizon' and remember how good 16 strings or in this case 17 strings can sound.

I absolutely agree with this. The Bones have always been a great band, with superb musicians, throughout all of their lineups since 1969. Martin Turner was the reason I first picked up a bass, following the first album. Bob Skeat is still their bassist, and he's brilliant.
