After hearing Percy Jones playing in Brand X when I was younger, I tried to fake his fast flurries of notes by using 3 fingers ... [i](usually in the order of - ring, middle, index)[/i] ...over time, I've kinda got more accurate with it & it's become incorporated into my 'style' ...like these things do... trying to copy things you've heard that tickle your bass bone, so to speak....perhaps falling a bit short of the mark!.... but what you end up with is your[i] unique[/i] 'style' Percy Jones has since made a video, with detailed information on how he does what he does ....with his three fingers! you can see him talking about his right hand technique [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCBrSAcrm0M&feature=related"]HERE[/url] (Check out from about 7.12) Still a great bass player, in my view [i](although not exactly 'Mr Personality' on this video!)[/i]

Yep... reckon you right.... Sandberg Plasma it is....

I have a John Paul Jones pick!... Given to me by his granddaughter, who is one of my students....

Just saw the last [b]Later[/b] with Dizzee Rascal... nice to hear him with a 'proper' band rather than just a' bloke putting records on'.... What was that perspex bass with the blue lights, anyone know?

Yeah, Jam Guitars is pretty local for me... Was very impressed with the Basic 4 & the California PM5 they have in there... BTW, they've only got 4 Sandbergs in stock to try there at the moment: Basic 4, California PM5, California PM 4 & California JM 4... but can order in on request. Have ordered a Basic 5 to my own specific tastes from them [i](maple board/greenburst)[/i] which they are prepared to do without me committing to buying.... which I'm impressed with. Will be delivered there early November.... Don't think they are open on Sundays.... but you could check by emailing them (Pete & Nick) at: [email protected]

You can get 'em from Jam Guitars in Bristol [url="http://www.jamguitars.co.uk/sandbergbass.htm"]JAM GUITARS[/url]

Cool... I've always liked his playing.... Some great lines with 'Dali's Car' too
