It took Moore until the formation of BBM (and his playing there with Jack Bruce) to realize that a bass is more than the E string of his guitar tuned one octave lower.

I wonder if he tried telling Jack he should play less...;)

Naw, Jack's rig was too loud for that!

They were underrated and unjustly maligned by the press.

Ha! There's indeed some similarities but I guess I never noticed 'cause "16th Century Greenslavees" is a much better song. :)

Me too and I could leave out "Starstruck" if needed.

Gruber had a great sound on the first album not to mention his basslines. Bain did a good job copying the "Greensleeves" bassline for the liveversion.
The three pickup non-reverse had actually four pickups. Not sure if he used them all on the album:


Great photo!
