The bass cuts through the mix nicely, good job on the cover. Your singer has shades of Alvin Lee in his vocal sound, do you guy's cover Ten Years After?.
Do you cover one of the best bands of all time, Ten Years After?
Leo Lyons is a mad fiend, if he aint playing fast he is moving swiftly regardless. I wish bass players got more visual time back then.
That Strat of his was on fleabay a few years ago, and it wasn't *that* expensive everything considered...
While I was a bit underage to see TYA in their prime, I got to see the late Mr. Lee several times in the early 80s and it always was an energetic performance.
My personal favourite, and this is coming from a guy who used to wake up to "Sssh" for about a year in his teenage days...

Nice bass.Hey, did you quit going to the other forum?
Hey Partner. Thanks Paul, it plays nice. Yeah I did. I just wasn't getting anything out of it, and I just felt like I was't fitting in. Just me I guess.
So much for that anyway. It's not like I was an expert on anything there.
Yeah, I agree. I am just now discovering Free and Andy Fraser. It seems like every video leaves him out quite a bit compared to the other members. Too bad, the guy had an extremely cool demeanor.
I just got an original, beat up copy of "Sssh" from my extremely cool mother in law. I wish I coulda seen some of these bands in their prime. It was definitely a golden era.
Not to mention that it looks way prettier (IMO) in Ebony and is far less expensive than its Gibson long-scale ancestors from the early 70s...
Simon Kirke once said in an interview that he felt that Andy had the most talent out of them all, "pound per pound" as he put it, and I would agree, although Kossoff has remained my # 1 guitar player to this day...
Fraser was extremely gifted. The solo in Mr. Big (at age 17/18 nonetheless) is unbelievable. And, I think any player trying to slow themselves down would be wise to study him. I love how the guitarist (Kossoff? I'm not sure of all their names yet) looks at Fraser at the end of the guitar solo in the above "Mr. Big", giving him the signal before the bass solo takes off. Fraser's replying slide makes me feel like I need to work on my game a bit. I wish I was that cool.
Since picking up the SG, I developed a nasty habit of overplaying a bit. It plays like butter, but if you're not careful you'll find yourself slipping all over it. So, Andy Fraser comes in, I study the guy, try to keep his style in my head while playing this past month and a half. Voila, slowing down.
I think I read somewhere about Fraser saying that if you play less, everything sounds bigger. It's a cool piece of advice to hold on to.

None of us will ever be as cool as Andy Fraser. R.I.P.
Thanks! No we don't. That was several years ago. That band broke up but we just got back together last night and I uses my 5 string. Trying to hold off using the SG until I receive my new Novak pick up.
Ten years after is possible. They started as all dylan studio band and brought me on board when they wanted to go live. We branched out to some Who, Tull, Paul Simon etc. So we will see where our new set takes us.
