my dad made me play the bass, he had been into music from a very young age, especially jazz funk, and brit funk including bands like atmosfear, light of the world, central line, shakatak and most importantly level42, he had big respect for them and loved mark kings bass playing and his basses, so he bought a jaydee roadie passive two pickup second hand which he had converted into an active model as well as haveing it sprayed cherry red , he then bought a jaydee series 1 brand new from jd, and learnt the bass...after showing keen interest in level 42 and their music and bass playing my dad bought me a white pbass special which i learnt a few things on, when i got bit better i started displaying interest in marcus millers work and went on and on about the jazz basses, eventually my dad took the pbass special in the shop and then got me a jazz bass i carrried on learning and when i got better my dad got the jaydee roadie out of the cupboard and just gave it to me i love it in every way and it will stay with me forever, i love my dad too!!!! hes beeen such a big influence on my life
