hi all,

Click on echo units, see the old meazzi unit of joe brown (green front and brown tolex) and look at the video,
see Hank B. talking about the drum echo.

Does anyone know the story?

Hi Tonio and Iain,

Not to detract from the other pictures, the bass looks like a Hofner (perhaps early pick ups).
"Oscar" may be a clue.
Is that a surprised Oscar sitting next to Jet ?
Tonio a PM is on it's way.

Regards, Luigi

All very interesting. Oscar means nothing to me (sorry). Was / is he a well - known player in Europe? Looking at Jet in this pic, I would guess that this was taken either shortly after he quit the Shadows or during the Jet & Tony period.

LOL. The guy in the photo watching Jet seems amazed that he is playing a violin-style bass.

Hi Everyone

The guy with Jet is Oscar Rexhauser. Here's a link with some more info about their meeting: http://indorock.home.xs4all.nl/oscarrexhauser.htm

Thanks Audrey. Can any of our Dutch friends translate what it says under the picture of Jet and the Hofner bass?
