Nah, he never got into playing instruments. They weren't a very fortunate family when my dad was a kid.
He's a gear head though.

I'm back in bed as my foot has started hurting againHappy letting Youtube flick through tunes in the background, this just came on and the vintage bass sound caught my attention
<3
This was one of the first songs where the bass part grabbed me as much as the guitar. Even though I could no more play like Bruce than I could Clapton, I could play enough of the bass bits on guitar that the song was recognizable. Why couldn't I figure out then that I'd do better on bass? Probably because nobody I knew paid attention to bass players, and I was riddled with insecurities.
I lost my pic of my pedalboard. I'll snap another... BRB...You'd love me and my cable then

...Ah yes... here we are!
Do you feel like it "sounds like a Trace", or is it a departure for them? ... and what are you pushin' with it?
I wouldn't say it gets too wooly, it feels immersive, and sounds like Cream...
But if you ask someone who is a Gibson hater... you know... those people that dime the treble and and scoop the lows on their amps... they'd probably find it WAY TOO WOOLY!
The same as mine but I daren't use pedals in theseI lost my pic of my pedalboard. I'll snap another... BRB...
Ah yes... here we are!

I'm not wearing those in public! I'll stick with the stockings, they're a distraction from my playing 
Yeah, isn't that the law?You're European, and in a punk band. If you don't wear the silver tights on stage at some point, you'll be remiss
