Even Steve Howe leaves the decals on!!!

Just for the sake of keeping the facts straight, the first Brit Ric bass hero was Pete Quaife of the Kinks.
No it's not cool because it means there is still the plastic film on the pickguard.
Well on the Fenders it does.
Indeed, that is kind of a bummer. That and the “it’s just a bad Yes cover band now”. We see enough of this stuff on the Yes social sites. And I’m sure the remaining players and member really appreciate that sentiment. Actually, they are a lot more mature about this than I am.

Did Yes "jump the shark" when they let the same consultant dress them like they dressed Sting for the Synchronicity 2 video?
Pretty safe to wager Howe can get around quite well on a bass guitar.He plays the bass parts himself on his albums.
The basses featured in his book and mentioned in his albums booklets are a 1964 Gibson EB6 six-string, a 1960 Gibson EB0, a 1966 Fender Precision Bass, a 1985 Yamaha BB400SF fretless, a 1962 Vox Bassmaster, and a 1974 Rickenbacker 4001.
Indeed. When I listen to his first albums, I find him very inspired. Even in Turbulance (1991) which is one of my favorites, there are a lot of great basslines.
So one TB member adds an apostrophe where it's not necessary and another omits one where it is necessary. What's the world coming to? If we had enough decals and stickers we could fix this problem. And many more of this world's problems. As you can tell I'm a fan of apostrophes.

Those were indeed the days….
There are stories of a bass duel with Chris and Steve on The Yes Album tour.
I've not found any bootlegs of this however.
He's a magician, and magicians wear capes. Merlin, Gandalf.. If you are younger watch Dr. Strange.
Same reason Superman wore a cape, it looks awesome while he's flying.
There ya go!
Our Man Chris will not be outdone!…
Them's his silent wings of freedom.
