Jerome Rimson's Rickenbacker...or is it?

<< < (3/3)

Pekka:
Mystery solved! Thanks Jerome!

And while you're here...

Did you play fretless bass on Thin Lizzy's "Fats" (Renegade 1981)? There's no credit in the sleeve but you played fretless on his solo albums on songs like "Solo In Soho" and at that time only Phil Lynott seemed to know which song went to his solo albums and which to Lizzy. "Fats" is definitely one more suited to his solo albums but went to Lizzy instead.

Oh my, the guy from Automatic Man!!! Here!

Chris P.:
I have taken the liberty to post a link to this thread, with the post of mr. Rimson, on the Rickresource forum. A friend of mine is already informing Lemmy fans:)

Hi Jerome

I saw you with that bass in Reading University with Chappo back in around 78/79.

Cracking gig with Geoff Whitehorn, Mel Collins and Tim Hinckley.

I cornered one of the roadies about the bass after the gig and he told me it was an Alembic modified Rick. Didn't quite believe such an instrument could exist. Really tight funky sound.

Your playing on Live in Hamburg became a bit of a touchstone for my formative bass playing years, along with Jaco, Bernard Edwards, Norman Watt Roy and Tex Comer (of Ace).

40 years on and that top five still hasn't changed. Thank you!
