Jamerson Trivia

@SteveXFR Possible, but hats over a certain brim-width are very tricky to nick just using your index finger...

I once stole a stove pipe hat in the mosh pit at a Wildhearts gig. It was stolen from me shortly after by another thief

You could use that finger as, dare I say it, a hook?

Anyone know what plectrums he used 😁?

[Cliff Edge]

He rarely used a pick, but when he did it is said it was a tooth pulled from the body of Marie Laveau. 
Others say he just pinched whatever was available from a nearby guitar player.

I’d like to apologise for my earlier post in this thread, which was complete rubbish. I don’t know what came over me. I’ll try again: 

It’s well known that most of Jamerson’s bass parts were actually Carol’s. 

For example if you take the bass part of What’s Going On, slow it down to crotchet=60 and put it into straight time, you get In The Bleak Midwinter.
