The Outpost Cafe / Re: Stockholm

Hey, Ilan! Stop by at Halkan's Rockhouse close to the Medborgarplatsen at Söder. He knows his game. At the same time you could say Hello from Staffan in Umeå. We were in the same band in the middle of the 70's, Linus & His Band. Halkan is a really nice guy!
If you're looking for old vinyl, visit Micke's records at Långholmsgatan 13, also at Söder. Tell him I sent you, and ask for anything by the original Shanes from Kiruna!

Agree, and absolutely, concerning Mitch Ryder's bass player. Perfect. And the drummer, too! Together they cook. Cook, cook, and cook! Love that tune. Everything about that version could drive anyone to speed beyond insanity's borders.

Love the drumming on this one. Guess it's Hal Blaine? So much energy, I almost start jumping when out walkin with this in my ears. And it's very seldom wrong with a 12-stringer!

Here, where I live, Sweden, no-one knows about this guy, B W Stevenson. But in -77 I bougth a vinyl 33 by the man. We be sailin', is the title. Very nice record! Golden voice! Though not heard in my country. So there was none to talk to about the LP, other than guests with big ears.
And then, one day, I read about B W.
In the Bass outpost...
Great place to hang around!

I am completely satisfied with the Artec pickup on my Bach T-bird. That is, concerning the sound. I'm not all that glad about the looks of it. Would rather have a cover on it, just like the Gibson original.
So here's my question: Is it possible to remove the Artec cover and change it to a Gibson cover? How is it done?

The blonde to the right, with two knobs (but of course!) is really beautiful. All that's missing is a wig...

If I ever saw a man who looks like he's been sleeping in his clothes, it's Lee Brilleaux! He's even got dirt on the knees of his trousers! Dr Feelgood's stage show is just fantastic. Simplicity rules! Just remember one thing, kiddos: Speed kills!

Karl Green in Herman's Hermits was in the front of the line who wanted a non-reversed T-bird. So he did what he had to do to get one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsdMx9m1VCs&feature=share

That bass is also among the first I've seen that looks nicer without neck or bridge covers. Pure beauty! I'm impressed!
