A 1993 and a 4001. What year is that 4001? is has a longer pickguard. I has to be pre '73 because this was recordedin '73.

Looks like a '68 and '69, but like I always say, not much of a bass guy, but that's my guess from what I've seen in the past.

Cool to see the gear. The lead singer reminds me of Marjoe Gortner in "Earthquake," which is just as cheesy as the song.

It looks like an early '73 4001.
Maybe mine!

THE STRAWBS!
One of my favorite bands from the 70's. Great output, thoughtful lyrics (Dave Cousins was a poet before he was in a band), and a great live show too.
The acoustic versions of their classics they did a few years back were very good. There is a double CD of those...

Didnt Rick Wakeman (YES), play with the Strawbs? The guy playing keys doesnt look like him.
The bass is an early '70's model.

Yes, Rick did play with Strawbs before he joined Yes. This clip is from '73, I do believe, so Wakeman would have been with Yes for a couple of years, at least, by then. You're definitely not seeing Rick in the clip.

And Oliver Wakeman has played with them as well. I believe he is the current keyboard player for them.

I see something, maybe, perhaps, but it could just be a smudge.
You're talking about here, right, Ronnie?
