Yes, I saw Mr Pomeroy in action at Birmingham Symphony Hall back in May this year. Brilliant show/band.

I understand it's a 4003 but not one of the newer ones as the shark fins are upside down. I have seen him with a new 4003 though last year.

For some reason the bass didn't cut through the mix very well when I saw them, Steve's guitar wasn't quite loud enough either!

I think Lee is one of the few but well known guys who plays with the bass strung for right hand!

I'll have to watcher of the skies again to see.

When I very first started learning bass I flipped a right hand bass over and went that way for several weeks.

I was persuaded to swap the strings over to true lefty and it was like starting all over. Glad I did though!

[Lefty4003S8]

WOW!!!!! That was GREAT!!!!

Thanks Jeff. I have always wanted to see Steve's electric band--never have.
I did see him play acoustically and got a chance to talk with him though.

WHO is the bass player here???? I've never seen him before. He NAILS Mike Rutherford's tone......
AND, that double-neck looks like a Shergold.

Thanks Again Jeff!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure of his name but I am pretty sure he is Sébastien Lamothe, bassist for The Musical Box. Not too many lefty bassists that has Rutherford's parts down pat.

I first saw Hackett's band in the mid '90s (not counting Genesis, of course many times from April 1972 through the Summer of '77), and have seen him a couple times doing solo (Borders Books) and trio gigs with his brother, John, and Roger King (Kent Stage). He is very friendly and likes to talk with his fans/supporters.

Oh My.....I was going to ask if that bassist ever played with the tribute band "Musical Box"
I've seen them, they're fantastic. Saw their "Lamb Lies Down" show. I was particularly impressed by
the bass player and how he had Rutherford's sound/tone down to a T. AND he was a lefty.
NO Rickenbacker bass that show, but he did have 2 360's (1 Lefty 1 upside down Righty)

That's so funny!!!!!!

FYI, Rutherford was NOT a lefty! I had a hard time grasping that concept when I saw The Musical Box a few years ago.

BTW, that double neck must have been built for Sébastien as it is a copy of Mike's Shergold. I remember being disappointed with Mike when he showed up the first time with that bass and not the Dick Knight DN Rick!

[Lefty4003S8]

Yes Jeff...I know Rutherford is NOT Lefty

And I too was disappointed when Mike switched from the Rick to the Shergold.

Did you see the Lamb tour?

No. I've seen Genesis ONCE---Front row on the "And Then There Were Three" tour.

So....I've seen them once
Peter Gabriel--Solo
Steve Hackett--solo

Never saw Genesis with the original line-up

Trivia----When I saw Gabriel, it was the first time I ever saw a Chapman Stick. THAT was SO foreign to me.

Ever heard of the these guys?



I saw them in the early '80s at a club across the street from OSU; I have their first LP, maybe a second one too, my albums (remember them? ) are packed away. Anyway, I digress. I went to the University of Cincinnati in the mid '70s; I met Emmett Chapman and saw a prototype Chapman Stick at a music shop near campus, the shop was called Synthony, or something like that. I was there with a friend checking out some keyboards, a Prophet 5, IIRC, to go along with his Minimoog (the original), lots of fun to play with. Another aside, we saw Mahogany Rush around that time, too, at a club called Reflections; I remember the petri dishes with colored oils that there used with an overhead projector for a trippy stage light effect!

[Lefty4003S8]

No Jeff. I've never heard of these guys. VERY smooth jazz sound!!!!!!! Thanks for turning me on to them.

BTW: I have quite an ALBUM(vinyl) collection myself. I MUCH prefer them to CD's.
Gotta LOVE the art work on those old jackets!!!!!!

Here's a cool one from Kittyhawk:



I didn't even remember that it was Richard Elliot in the band, I guess he did okay for himself after Kittyhawk.
