..and what a fine fellow indeed. 

For those who may not be aware, our newest member's inaugural post is here. Differing points of view aside, one generally does not introduce oneself to a new forum by
accusing one of its moderators of lying in a matter where his own honesty is questionable. At the very least, it's pretty far from being a constructive contribution. I join the others in welcoming Rich, but his past associations and employers don't hold sway here and he will not be given the latitude he has enjoyed in other forums because of his professional associations. If he is to be welcomed on the forum as a whole, then his conduct on other less-travelled parts of it, and to a lesser extent, his history with various members here needs be factored in.

Very Gracious, Gents.......Pilgrim: I've tried to keep up with most of the mail that I get but that's not always possible. The "RB Classic Series" means a lot to me and many of those pieces went to Europe. If any members HERE own one or more, I'd love to hear from you....And, Contrary to what I've read, there WERE several different basses in the series. One of the most interesting was a series of twenty "John Lodge" (Moody Blues) p-basses. What I find amazing is that they sold out BEFORE even being built.......to Women....NONE of whom Played. It must be tough to be John.

Bass-ically Yours,
Rich

I recently bought the Blue Jays CD with the partnership of John Lodge and Justin Hayward.  Lodge must be one of the most under-appreciated, fantastic bass players in the history of popular music.

Hello Rich, Welcome.

I recently bought the Blue Jays CD with the partnership of John Lodge and Justin Hayward.  Lodge must be one of the most under-appreciated, fantastic bass players in the history of popular music. 

He's a VERY good player....a VERY Creative bass line THINKER and quite fast when he needs to be//..and, of course, used a Sunn rig for years....one which was held together with Duct Tape and Chicken Wire......  I'll send you a pic of him with the bass......

Muzikman......I thank you for the kind welcome...
