Too blurry to be sure about that.

Looks like the tug bar is not in the Gibson location, the pickguard's contour following the lower cutaway near the neck joint also doesn't look correct for a vintage Gibson, and the mud cover looks a bit too wide, like Greco EB3's.

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

I could have well have been a Greco, Steve Priest wasn't particular. His Danelectro early on when they were still Bubblegum (followed by a Jazz Bass), in Sweet's glam hard rock phase a Ric 4001 and in their later career a TBird were  probably the basses you saw him most with. But he was keen to get his hands on anything else for sheer variety and looks.

I had no idea there was a video of this. Best song from this band, after Jan Errico (Vejtables drummer/vocalist) joined. Written by Stephen Stills.

Wasn’t Stills’ dad a State Department official seconded to South America, with the family living there and little gringo Stephen raised under the influence of Latin American music?

It was captioned  “a modern love song” at the time …



In the gigs at the time DC would heartily enhance it with the stage announcement to his mostly male adolescent audience of Hopefully, your tarts will be whispering this to you tonight!

Innocent days.

Nicely ferocious! I didn't recognize a long-haired Chris Spedding though the glasses were of course a giveaway.

I have him somehow jotted down with shorter hair (sans glasses).



What never changed was that he was a very introverted performer as a guitarist, not really enjoying ourselves here, are we Chris?  ;D

It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society.  It's those who write the songs.

She's so petite, it looks huge on her!

I'm glad she stopped the C&W diversion/nonsense and is now back to what she does best.
