SR4 Sighting on NFL Network!

[pepperman]

Hey all!

While watching the Chiefs dismantle the Broncos this evening, I watched John Fogerty and his band perform the Halftime show. His bass player played what appeared to be a relatively early Ray. Natural with old-style bridge, what appeared to be a slab body and full-length MM Stingray decal on the headstock. It was also unusual to me in that it had a black PG and white pickup cover. Very cool!

If I'm not mistaken Jack del Bongo knows Fogerty's guitar tech or something like that.

It's always great to see folks playing EB.

I watched that game too. Yup it was cool to see the very early natural Ray with white pickup. I don't like Fogerty at all tho...but the bass is was kept me watching the 1/2 time show.

He also played at the Lions/Dolphins game at half time. Man, he gets around. Yep, saw the EB bass as well....

The guy we saw wasn't really playing though.

The tracks and BG vocals were recorded the previous week with Fogerty's regular band - which includes George Hawkins jr on bass and Kenny Aronoff on drums. Both guys apparently had previous engagements.

Hawkins does play a red MM Ray though. It's a beaut. I saw it this summer.

For my money, nobody place those Creedence songs like this guy.

I saw Fogerty in June 2005 at the HOB in New Orleans. The show was fan-freaking-tastic! His bass player was playing a F^nder at the time. I think he switched to Music Man basses shortly after.
