Very cool Adrian. Any idea what amp it was?

Thank you for that Adrian, it made my day! I love that you shared the story with us and now know that you played with him as well (so cool) but the cloth on the people from the bass says a lot about live music experiences can be like and made me get a good belly laugh.

@dave_dore -
I guess, as you brought his name up - and this is a Cantabile community, and it’s that Moog bass that was so defining in Gary’s music, that you may be interested to know that I actually played a few dates with Gary - probably back in 2011-12. I was on synth bass! I used Cantabile 2 and Trilogy/Omnisphere and the sound was just amazing live. He loved the sound - so much so that we had a separate bass amp rigged right behind him so that he could really feel the bass - and get to the volume control!
We had all the backline stuff supplied by the various venues - and some places liked to get involved with the ‘look’ of the amps. We finished sound check and the bass was roaring at Gary - just the way he likes it.
The stage hands began attaching black cloth over the amps as we headed off for a pre gig beer.
“Please welcome to the stage… GARY WRIGHT!”
I played the first note and the cloth flew off the bass amp and covered 3 people in the front row.

Is that Gary Wright as in “dream weaver”?

Hey Derek,

Yes, that’s the same guy …

Cool. Love that song. Closest claim to fame i have is that I used to gig with a lovely bass player who was invited to join The Clash, but turned them down (longer story involved there).

Hmm…new topic…“Brush With Greatness”.
Afraid I would have too many embarrassing stories, compared to good ones. Met lots of people in my time tho.

The more quirky one was that one of the Pure Floyd (has before we became Welsh Floyd) bass players (we went through more bass players than Spinal Tap went through drummers!) once toured with Bucks Fizz. Titter ye not, he said it was one of the hardest gigs he had ever done in terms of the perfection demanded!
