It certainly is lovely. Like a peice of art. I've played a couple of Marleuxs and they are excellent instruments. Never felt tempted to buy one though.

Those 3 would be my second choice trio. Should be some gig.

Some folks might find themselves reconsidering their Led Zeppelin covers at some point... Just sayin'. I do hope not, I think there's enough of a witch hunt, alraedy.

Can't quite get myself to go and see Yes without Jon. Mind you, that latest singer, from Glass Hammer, sounds pretty close. A lot better than Benoit David IMO. I know what you mean but when I read they would be playing 'The Yes Album', 'Close To The Edge' and 'Tormato' albums in their entirety I could not resist as well as the fact that it is in a decent size auditorium and not the bloody MEN Arena Cheers Phil That's a good selection of albums. Should be a great gig. kinda wish I was going now. Though I think Fragile, Close To The Edge and Going for the One would be the most sublime trio.

Very enjoyable. As you know Grayn I'm a very big Yes fan. Seeing them next April minus Anderson unfortunately. Cheers Phil Can't quite get myself to go and see Yes without Jon. Mind you, that latest singer, from Glass Hammer, sounds pretty close. A lot better than Benoit David IMO.

I know. My Jimmy Saville impersonations don't go down at all well, these days.
Mind you, as long as John Noakes is not involved, I'm happy.

I had an Eastman 12er, which I really rated, as good as many, I'd played, that were 2 or 3 times the price.
As you can see, 12ers have their share of high end gear.

Here's what happens when a techno-rock bassist, a modern jazz guitarist and a a sympathetic drummer, jam on a tune from The Sound of Music.
First 15 secs irrelevant.

No probs. If I had to name an all time fave band, it would have to be Yes. Particularly !970 - 76. Nice guitar collection there BTW.

i think you're better off sticking with musical instruments, Leo.

An elderly but still very able Yes, doing a live, acoustic version of "Long Distance Runaround".

I have always thought that the really low guitar guys are complete berks. I guess if you have no skill at all, like Mr Hook, then it doesn't really matter. I would actually argue that Peter Hook is quite a unique, interesting bassist, regardless of how low he wears his bass. Not a "proper musician" maybe, and he certainly doesn't play bass like a bass but sometimes interesting music comes from people who aren't musos. Just my opinion of course. I'm glad you enjoy his style. I see him as someone who didn't have enough talent to play lead guitar, so thought he'd try and play lead on bass, hoping it would seem different. Well he made loads of cash, so someone obviously liked it. The bands he was in, did some good stuff but were really bands that only sounded decent, recorded. Live, they couldn't really hack it. Vive le difference, I guess.
