3 CD boxed set, original artists - love songs of the 50s.

Started with disc 3, what a great era of musical wonderfulness. :D :D

The chord it struck to me was em7 and I pondered a little. That chap we were talking about played a tele and an SG. No sign of a ...

Still there you go. Any colour as long as it's black,Robin.
At the gig Nick referred to, Robben was playing the Epiphone Riviera pictured on this album cover for most of the time.
The guitar is from 1966, so a Gibson made Epiphone.

He also played an SG (one from 1963).

ah nostalgia, mmm

my very first bass was a rivoli, the same as the one in the picture but with 4 strings...I suppose I should say I wish I still had it but that would be a lie(except for the value it would be now)...It was a right pain to play...literally a pain, I almost gave up playing the bass( what was that dtb?).

Was that the same one that Chas Chandler used in The Animals?
You might have just explained why Chas Chandler's playing never amounted to much beyond plunking away on the chord roots ..... :shock:

1st listen = "Nope"
2nd listen = "Wha?....Nope"
3rd listen = "HaHaha....maybe"
4th listen = "Hahahaha ...yeah!"
5th listen = "I don't know what it is but I like it"
6th listen = "I'll bung this on the forum..."

Thanks for the heads up SimonC. Bizarre (but likeable) album of the year award.

The trig point on Loughrigg is not Futurama - my first electric guitar but ... 335. Spooky or what.

My first and last bass was an Gibson eb1 copy. I had a wealthy friend who had a fender jazz so I played that quite often.

Right now I'm lissnin' to Anna munching her hula hoops. Her first bass was a double bass.

When I'm back in the civilised wold I will look for this album. It started to rain on Loughrigg rain rain and much more rain and by the time we swam to the car I looked like a bald bastard version of this chap.
