There's no describing that! -
didn't know I was arguing,,, big willy,,, "Beat It" was about the closest jacko got to metal.

I could never like Jaco, because he didn't play metal!

All?

Crikey - a case of a beraved wallet. However, we've now got another fake Fender in the wild.

On the prog side, though known as a pick player, Chris Squire had a percussive technique where he'd hit the note a second time with the edge of his thumb. Not exactly funkaholic, but a sideline to the development.
-
It's difficult to tell if Fred Thomas played thumb/slap back in the day, but he certainly did later on.

Nah - Proggers were post- hippies. Certainly jazz-rock (Bruford, Stanley Clark, Weather Report, Colosseum II, Chic Corea, Alphonso Johnson) was pretty far from being hippy stuff and some of it spanned into funk & disco.

That was pretty cool, wasn't it!

Aye - maybe omitted in the OP, but actually is at least as relevant as the guitar link there; based on that, I'd say that the funkers merely reinterpreted what already existed. Since the guitar angle is allowed, though, it could simply be inferred to be interpretations of Flamenco guitar playing.

Hippies were 60s - long gone by the mid-70s.
-
However, as far as earliest goes, here's something from 1954.

Hippy? That's a generation out!

Why do these copy makers put Fender logos on their wares?
-
Is the difference between a Fender and a Squier's value known as a Finder's fee?
-
A sneaky attempt at a get-out: and ...so he's not actually saying it's a Fender. (except the title does say it and the pictures form part of the description.)

Huddersfield - Smashing!

Looks like it comes with a free plectrum.
-
FYI, you can often flip these to left-hand by undoing the big screw and flipping the tuner key stem across to the other side.
-
Maybe it was Squire who signed it...
