I believe that is a vocal processor on top, a bass multi-effect unit below that, and a set of Moog Taurus III pedals. Pretty simple really.


I think the middle one is used as a midi controller, his bass "head" was a massive rack, with 3 amps, a handfull of outboards and a 12 channel mixer

Since it's gold it's indisputably hypoallergenic.  Then again, so is glass, but gold makes for a better money shot.


its a butt plug attached to a dildo, I cant imagine a less romantic position to be in

Im a Yes virgin, I only forced myself to listen to them recently because you guys lost your minds when Chris died,
 when i was a 16 year old with a mohawk they were the antithesis.
I listened to a bunch of it, Liked it all while it was on but nothing grabbed me enough to make my precious 32GB.  it felt very much a soundtrack to an era that I wasn't connected to

     I enjoyed the live show more than I expected, I got to watch an extremely acomplished bass player performing stuff written by a Legendary Bass part writer. in a format where the bass was effectively the lead instrument, whats not to like? the singer kept reminding me of the block from supertramp

  but my biggest impression of the evening was the body language of the crowd;  the venue was only half sold, all seated so I changed vantage point several times,
 the furthest forward i could get in each  wing, then just behind the sound man(who did an amazing job, the Centre is a slag of a building acoustically which defeats 90% of sound engineers) and there were a lot of men of a certain age, nodding appreciatively, much like I see at Quo, or Moody Blues, or AussieFloyd but there was a certain feeling of desperation, like they were trying too hard to be enjoying it

heres the pedalboard

 
 apparently they wanted him to play Ric's but he couldnt get on with the necks, there is one of Squires Rics in his guitar vault that travels round with them as a tribute

 they did play Lonely Heart, and Howe introduced it saying they make a point of playing material from every stage of their career

I really enjoyed it , my first time so nothing to compare them to, but live the bass still pleasingly dominates, Sherwood certainly is an impressive player but then I guess he'd have to be to fill those shoes.
 apparently he won't play a Ric though, so he has the most ridiculous  pedalboard I've ever seen to make his Warwick's (I think) sound right , its a bonkers 3 tier thing, complete with magnifying glass over the readout
I've got a picture of it that I'll upload when I get home

That's what happens when you're a session man paid by the hour or session. Doesn't matter if you came up with the bassline.

Oh i know, its just the perfect example of the disconnect between reality and copyright law,
 two sets of people fighting it out in court for thousands of pounds over something neither of them wrote

with you one the Diamond Dogs Uwe, and just about everything else he played on. I get to see him do War of the Worlds live pretty much every year

that village green in the opening clip is two villages along from me, Herbie's son is one of my best mates, but I've only met the man himself once in passing.

The crazy thing about the bassline from Wild Side is that years ago when sampling was starting to become a thing, one of the landmark cases was over a big hit over here called "Can I kick it" which used the bassline, Lou Reed's lawyers succesfully sued for thousands over it, yet not a penny went to Herbie, who only ever made £26 pounds for writing one of the most influential basslines ever.

 the only serious royalty money Herbie made is for the song "Grandad we love you" which only the uk'ers of a certain age will remember
