Are you happy for your photos to be included here?
Yes
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's you!!
You are on my blog!
I can't remember where I got the images from.
Such a shame you don't have them now - if you want I can put an edit on the post and ask if anyone has any knowledge of them.
Using the twin, what sort of music did you play?
Cheers.
Sorry this has taken so long to post, took me ages to track down the picture. This is my old mate Ben Benson with his Ned Callan bass. The photo is from 1974, but I think he'd bought it second hand so it probably predates that by at least a couple of years. It was gloss black with a tinted maple neck and rosewood fretboard as far as I can remember. The knobs were amber/gold. Cant remember much else about it, except it was very heavy and it sounded thunderous! Massive output, pretty much like a MM Stingray.
Ned Callan bases were designed by Peter Cook (with some involvement with John Entwhistle) and were built by Shergold. Iirc, production started in 1971 on those... later, there were cheaper versions made in the Far East bearing the Shaftesbury name.
And yes, thunderous sounding things!!!
I too, have a Knobbly, in Suburst.
Will try and dig out a pic.
Would you be OK for me to use the image on my blog?
Cheers. : )
