Notes_Norton Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 RIP and thanks for the great music. Observation: More and more we are becoming a ghost band, playing music made famous by the dearly departed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 That leaves only Justin Hayward, I think? Overused term, but I think it's safe to say that John Lodge was a very underrated bassist. Although a Moodies fan, I'm not sure about which of their songs he wrote, due to Justin being the one who sang them (I think). "Ride My See-Saw" is a great track, as is "I'm Just a Singer." I think those were his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted October 11 Author Share Posted October 11 I think so. Justin is only 78 so he might be around a bit longer. I think he was the youngest of the 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him live with the MB . We sat in 2nd row right in front of him. Excellent bassist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people swear by them. The ones I’ve played were nice but not worth the money. Of course no wood in an electric guitar is worth the going price for name brands. John was certainly way above average in his playing but he always played what the song needed. Edited Sunday at 08:21 PM by Terry Kelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed (Bapu) has 'em! 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
