... forgive me!!!

That's the sort of error the prosecution love... ;)

I have some pictures I took of him playing a doubleneck that I should dig out the negatives and check too - does look odd - never noticed before...
This is an image on Getty - also has an XLR connector as well as dublication of controls...

In ever rarer idle moments I've been looking for video evidence of Pete Agnew (of Nazareth) actually playing an EB live thru several Marshalls as he he did when I saw them back '75.........

Day of the show........Before my buddy Jim and I sat out front smoking pot waiting to get in.



No luck finding the EB at all  :sad:  Instead, we have ample evidence supporting Uwe's insistance of Roger Glover being an influence on the band. Forward the video to 0.48, you'll see Pete playing Roger's modified Rickenbacker 4001!  Kudos, Uwe!




Resident T Bird playing Drag Queen www.thenastyhabits.com  "Impülsivê", the new lush fragrance as worn by the unbelievable Fräulein Rômmélle! Traces of black patent leather, Panzer grease, mahogany and model train oil mingle and combust to one sheer sensation ...

I think come Razamanaz Pete realized that he had gone as far as he could with the EB. Tere is no way you can get that sound out of short scale maho bass.

No pleasing some folks... ;)



same era, from a BBC (LIVE) broadcast - certainly sounds like he was using an EB on this one... not Paris - Palace Theatre, London...

Check out the Naz items I found in the T'bird section...

OK, so I was looking for an Embassy, but found this instead.  I'm going to find Fang with the Embassy eventually.

Kicks was a BIG hit back then.  Note that the bass line is really an integral part of that tune.

I loved Revere and the Raiders - great music, and I'm still trying to pick a number of theirs I can work into our set.

In my search, I found this with some really nice work from Fang.



And this has probably always been my favorite.

I once had a dream in which Kicks played in its entirety throughout the dream.  It sounded really good, too.  Along with a dream in which I was a Roman soldier, that's one of the weirdest dreams I've ever had.

That'a great number from the jack Benny show - Fang was all OVER that one!

A couple of my all-time faves are The Great Airplane Strike - especially the bass lead at the start of the number....looks like Fang has a Hofner.



And "Hungry", which was another biggie and is a pretty powerful song....and the bass just slams the listeners all through it....

The Raiders were huge for several years. You had to be there.

my first concert. i was 13 or 14. the band was great but the fire marshall pulled the plug early because of the beatle type pandemonium. being a record geek of sorts people are still paying premium collector prices for certain raiders records.
