The Last Bass Outpost

Cool band! Never heard of that lineup.

Yes, it was only during the late '82 I believe. Lynott, Rimson, Darren Wharton, Gus Isadore, Jimmy Bain & Mark Nauseef.

Was it Bain or Bob Daisley on that record?

Bain. It was compiled from the 1976 tour.

he was a while with Ian Hunter's Overnight Angels before the Wild Horses.

He was also in John Cale's band and played on the great EP "Animal Justice". "Hedda Gabler" is a classic song.

The only basses I have seen him using in Rainbow were the natural Telecaster with a bridge pickup ( and with or without the monstrous pickguard) and a blond (or natural) Precision with a maple neck.

Jimmy played also with Phil Lynott in 1982 on Phil's solo band tour. With Jerome Rimson on bass, the band had three bass players! Jimmy was on keyboards 'though...

A '63 no less.

Doublethumbin' Douglas Rauch.

Here's my new rig...until I get my Hiwatt 4x12 this week.

Almost like my other combination 'though I have 100 watts less, a newer SVT 8x10" and a different style body on my long scale 12-string Hamer neck.

Did John use Hiwatt in 1974? With The Who it was all Coliseum Bass, Coliseum Lead and 880 at that time. Maybe it was used with his band The Ox.

Isn't it the same like Townshend's CP103? With four inputs and four volumes and no middle.

I saw Yes only once, in 1983 on the 90125 tour. Great show. Was Squire back to playing his Ric on that tour? I did briefly meet Alan White after the show and he signed my tour book. 

He used plenty of basses, depending on the song just like in the 70's. He had the green Mouradian ("Owner Of The Lonely Heart"), the Elektra ("Leave It", "Cinema", "City Of Love"), the 8-string Ranney ("Changes", "Hearts"), Thunderbird (for "Gimme Some Lovin'" and probably for "Our Song") and the Ric ("Hold On", "It Can Happen" plus all the classic old stuff).
