Hi Roger
Really enjoyed the ITV programme last night (26th Nov.) Have to admit that back then my musical taste was elsewhere but now realise what I missed.

Sorry if this question has been asked many times before but hope you understand the reason behind it. After over 20 years loyal service I’ve just snapped one of my original Fender Flats.

Roger This is a question …

Roger,
This is a question about equipment. Your choice of Vigier basses and SWR cabinets is obvious along with Picato strings, but, what back line amps do you use and with what effects if any?

 

Hello Roger Believe it or …

Hello Roger !

Believe it or not the first rock album i was introduced to was In Rock, before that it was
Charles Aznavour and Gilbert Becaud……..
So imagine the culture clash when the opening
bars of Speed King started…That was 1973, i
was 9 years old and seen i’ve been a great fan
..I don’t know what it is about you British but
what you do as musician is totaly impeccable.

 

I see from the Fireball …

I see from the “Fireball” sleeve and other photos that you took to sporting a “bullet-belt” quite some time before Lemmy and yet he is credited with “inventing” it. When did you come up with the idea? You were one of the bass players that made me take up the instrument and in particular a black Rickenbacker. I have always felt that you never received the credit you deserved and I use the belt as an example.
