Hey Ray,

Sorry to derail the thread....

Amok, Amuck, whatever...it's funny as....never mind.

Just watched Hocus Pocus this Halloween, and one of the main characters says....AMOK, AMUCK, AMOK THREE TIMES!

LOL!

I'm toasted.

I don't think those people grew up at all (the comment posters, that is).

Great video, Thanks!

That FG V63 is one more to add to my wish list...

That bass looks (and sounds) fabulous. Just out of interest, what amps/cabs did Rog use in those days?

Probably Sound City/WEM stuff.

That horn looks pretty beat.

That horn always looked a little on the thin side to me. My green RM although sanded at the body appears somewhat similar.

"See Emily Play"...

And see Roger play cricket. With his bass.

Perhaps not for the faint-hearted.

Though if you look closely, there appears to be no ball coming at/or hitting the bass. I think he knew better

I wonder if he still has that bass or where it is today? Hmmmm.

Cool! Always loved that tune.

Tony, Roger picked up Precisions and never went back after his 1999 developed some nasty backbow.

Thanks John,

I know about the Percision basses, but never heard about the backbow incident on the RIC. Damn shame.

I had a Fen*** Jazz bass that no matter WHAT I did, I couldn't get the neck right. It felt great, but the dead spots and buzzing drove me nuts!

The ball used for the cricket match in the video was the same one used for the tennis game at the end of "Blow Up."
