Hi Folks, I have seen this on e-bay great britain today, looks like one of the earliest classicos ever made with a great history, probably something for collecters, I prefer to play besides my series I a real upright bass but for some special sounds itīs a great instrument, so take a look at it...

I thought that John Giblin (Alan Parsons Project)had the first one. | ||

This could very well be John Giblin's bass Doc. The listing says it was used on some kate Bush recordings.... So was John Giblin ;-) Before I moved to Scotland 10 years ago I lived about 3 miles from Malvern - I could have seen it in person. Talk about missed opportunities. Graeme | ||

Been to Great Malvern twice. Nice area. Neat little railway station with picturesque steel ornaments (nice change if you've boarded the train at B'ham New Street). | ||

I'm guessing that would be this. And here is another view. And another. (Message edited by davehouck on May 29, 2008) | ||

Well, it's a nice looking station! Thanks for mentioning it! In the first half of the 20th century, there were a lot of nice train stations built in the US. Some survive to this day as restaurants or shops, and a few still serve their original purpose. | ||

Interesting that there's a Malvern station in Pennsylvania too. I've always imagined that area to be very similar (in a middle England way) to Worcestershire. I expect I'm very wide of the mark ;-) Graeme | ||

Looking at this picture of the Malvern PA station the stone actually has the right type of colour one would associate with the Cotswolds and Worcestershire! Edit: The top part of the building obviously, as the lower walls are bright red. (Message edited by adriaan on May 29, 2008) |
