Wishbone Ash Handy.
I remember talking about this tune a while back on this forum and it came up again Monday night in a conversation I was having. It's not the fastest jaw dropping bass solo you'll hear but it had a major influence on my playing style. Probably why I didn't approach bass guitar in the tradition sense for my time, the 70's.
 
A cool melodic dark bass line in this song.  
 
OO

Wow!  Thanks!!  I haven' sat down and listened to that tune in a long time; what a pleasant surprise!
 
I loved Wishbone Ash from the moment I first heard the first cut on the first album.  The first four albums are all great.  And yes Martin Turner's moving bass lines are a big part of why they were so good; along with Steve Upton's drumming and those two beautiful twin guitars.  I always thought Upton's snare work was exceptional among rock drummers.

Man, I love those guys. Thanks for posting that. I'm gonna have to dig out Argus (my favorite) and give that a listen, it's been a long while.
 
Steve Upton was up there with Bill Bruford as far as early seventies amazing rock drummers.

Big Ash fan.  I was always rather partial to their album There's The Rub.   F.U.B.B. is a great track.

'Pilgrimage' is the predecessor to 'Argus' and is well worth a listen, especially the bebop 'Vas Dis' opening the album.
One of the first bands I saw in the early 70's, they were featured on BBC4 Prog Rock series a few months ago

I played live with them as support act way back in the 70's.
Brilliant band!

This is what I first thought Tom. Then I reread it.

Olie - that giant tassle is pretty darn close to the peghead alright.

Good grief! If you go to YouTube and search on Wishbone Ash, their entire discography is there in video. OK, maybe not the ENTIRE set, but a heck of a lot of it.
 
Here's the aforementioned Vas Dis, always loved that track!
 

 
Enjoy!

Great tune!!  Thanks Reid!
