While they're both really good musicians, much of what I have heard from Beth and Joe just didn't grab me, much less pull me back. Now I want to hear this whole concert. Yea, you can guess which rabbit hole was my sound track at work this afternoon. This and Christine McVie's version are the only white women who I've heard do this are up there with the queens of soul (and I include Beyonce in there). I wish Janis had recorded this.

Also, I thought that was Keith Richards on rhythm guitar but it's Blondie Chaplin, whom I'd never heard of. The whole band is perfect, with Carmine slaying the bass riffs.

I dunno if it's the band or material, but this is easily the best I've heard from either Beth or Joe. Yeah, yeah,. Taste and all that.

All that said, someone get that man a THUNDERBIRD!

 
Apparently any possible Pink Floyd reunion is off. David Gs wife roasted Waters as having a "rotten core. Also a P.... apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac." David apparently liked her comments. Ouch! I think I like David's wife. If only she had a Thunderbird to swing at him. That would show him.

Japan's prices are always high, most of the time it's cheaper to buy the same thing here new than to buy a used instrument from Japan, never mind the shipping cost.

I sometimes check eBay for 4001's and their prices are almost always way up there compared to N America and the majority of them are in Japan, not sure about other basses.

I'm not bashing Japan incidentally, have just noticed their prices, at least for 4001's are high compared to the U.S.

Depends on what you're looking for and where you're looking. If you're looking for deals on US made instruments to have them shipped back, probably not going to find it. If you are looking on eBay? Probably not going to find deals. If you use a site like JAUCE, and are looking for Grecos or Fernandes or other Japanese brands, then you'll find deals. Often times you'll see the same listing as one on ebay, but for significantly less, even with the shipping factored in. I think both of my Greco 4001s cost under $700, shipped.
