With yet another foot of snow here I'm left with some time on my hands. Came across these two youtube clips of Marillion with Pete Trawavis playing his Series 2000(?). There's even a choice depending on which singer you prefer. Fish [movie=youtube]itNai7Rb2mE[/movie] Steve Hogarth [movie=youtube]c1T0biWBupo[/movie]

I was a fan of the band with Fish too. They made some good music with Steve Hogarth but it was never the same. Nothing to do with Marillion but here's Dave Bronze, with Eric Clapton, playing a wooden necked Status of some sort. [movie=youtube]9l_qwvSQyjA[/movie]

I don't recall Marillion making a showing across the Atlantic. Very cool to see and hear the S2000, even if it's played with a (e-gads) a guitar pick. Wink Does the old style tailpiece-tuners effect the sound of the bass much? They look very cool. Would love to own a vintage S2000 some day.

Cool, I saw Marillion with Steve Hogarth and then Fish (solo) in the same week back in the mists of time. Classic.
