[quote name='Prosebass' post='349283' date='Dec 9 2008, 01:12 AM']Percy Jones was as much an influence to me as Jaco, as was Mick Karn but with totally different styles, technique and noises.
I went to Barretts in Manchester in 81 to buy a new bass. I was going to get either a Jazz or a Wal because of the influence of Jaco and Percy.The Jazz was too expensive so I went for the Wal (£235.00) The assistant suggested I tried a Hofner which to my surprise was much better than the Jazz and the Wal and was a mere £218.00. Still got it minus its frets....
Pastorius and Hendrix certainly had interesting lives away from the stage, wish I had been with them to sample it [/quote]
Yeah man,the brightest light burns twice as fast,Rock n f***in roll! thats why i started.
