I wrote Fender but I meant Rik...

All good, you just had me doing a double take.

IINM, he didn't use the 66 Bass until the White Album sessions.

This guy is probably the most proficient bass player alive today.

James Jamerson. His creativity was unmatched. He had no fear and is the father

of modern Bassists.

This guy is a big fan of Squire and also owns a Rickenbacker 4001CS. Here is a vid of Miguel covering "On the Silent wings of Freedom" off the Tormato album - 1978

Steve Harris from Iron Maiden. The site was only chosen because of the picture.

I used to think that Cliff was the best until I realized that he was playing his bass like lead guitar.
