  • Yes, Wal did have a Fender body option all those years ago and as far as I know I'm the only person who took it up.

  • Kev - hopefully you dont remember when in a drunken haze, myself and Bob Barrs carried you offstage at the Hand & Heart on Far Gosford St at one of the Art Fac do's (1980/81 ?)... to atone for this sin I did go buy yr Stolen Jewels album on vinyl when it came out... check my link and you'll see my old Lanch films.

    PS - good to see you have some Back Door favourited... still my favourite band - my dad played sax with Ron Asprey in the Cleveland Big Band!!

    cheers

    Greg

  • Er, no, thankfully I don't remember that, Greg, although I do remember the venue!

    Colin Hodgkinson was a big influence for me and lots of other bassists at the time.

  • Sorry This is kind of a stupid question but how do you bend the harmonics?

  • Play the harmonic then press down on the (fretless) fingerboard. Slide up/down.

  • BMS -Of course I don't mind - many thanks!

  • Picasso! Very interesting.

  • Beautiful and fantastic. I love your aesthetic orientation!

  • @joedonohoe22 Ever listen to Percy Jones with Tunnels or Brand X?

  • I'm not quite sure what you're trying to evoke with this piece...

  • Nice playing!! Is there some kind of effect on this video??!!

    

  • hey man im aleft handed bassist too looking for a fretless wal, any tips on where I could get my hands on one?

  • it sounds like the bass is talking in a different language lmao

  • You've probably gotten this question asked a million times, but could you do a video of you playing the intro bass line to the stump song 'buffalo'? I really want to learn it, but can't seem to figure it out...

  • Haha, love that it's a 'mix' of Kev Hopper. Who's that guy? I've been a fan of yours for over 20 years now, it would be hard to overestimate the impact your playing had on mine, it's an absolute treat to see you play.

  • how about Klunk from Stop The Pigeon cartoon? R-r--r-up Bing w-o-o-o!
