[edit] Shadows Spoof?

There wasn't a guitarist in The Beatles capable of "Spoofing" Hank Marvin, and there wasn't a Drummer capable of "Spoofing" Tony Meehan. Who were they "spoofing"- The Shads roadies? Lion King 17:01, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• The clue is in the title ie spoof/parody not impersonate. rgds, Boatman 19:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Spoof: "Parody by imitation." Best wishes, Lion King 22:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

You don't have to come close to someone's actual skill to parody them, perhaps unfortunately. Doesn't make it any less of a spoof! Mazca 21:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Point taken. But it's still an arrogant piss-poor effort! Cheers, Lion King 01:42, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vox T60

The Vox T60 (a fairly unreliable transistor amp used by Paul McCartney in the early days) was advertised as being used by Jet Harris, interesting since thereafter Vox advertisements almost entirely focussed on The Beatles. I think it's perhaps worth mentioning if anyone can get more information about how he came by the amp, as this would probably make him not only the first bass guitarist in Britain but the first guitarist of any prominence to play through a transistor amp. 87.80.209.34 (talk) 17:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
