JPJ swears by his collection of Manson basses. I have never tried one, but they must be very good!

I have emailed Hugh Manson about having a bass made. He has never replied.

There was a 20 yr old Manson bass for sale on Ebay uk a couple of months ago! It looked nice..the only time I have seen one up for grabs!

Was this one of the basses used in the Led Zep few days back?

They could be playing In My Time Of Dying as that was the bass Jonesy used live. I heard there performance went very well and Plant's performance was better than expected.

You are probably right, because on the video I saw Jimmy Page was playing slide with that guitar on IMTOD, as opposed to his Les Paul.

Here is an audience vid of Kashmir.  Not to bad of a clip, the camera was held fairly steady through out.  You can tell that Plant was indeed singing well, and that the playing was good too.  I'm thinking Bonham was enjoying the moment.
