(inspired by this thread: What would you say to Geddy...)
So suppose you magically can see John Entwistle one last time before he fades into forever again, what do you say/do to him?
I'd ask him to teach me his four-finger technique exactly the way he learned it.
How bout you guys?

Oh yeah, and I'd ask him what he would say to Geddy Lee.

I'd say the sound you got on Live At Leeds KICKS ASS!
P-bass, roundwounds and a ****-load of Hiwatt tube amps.
That set-up sounded better to me than all the sophisticated stuff he used later (not that that stuff sounded bad). |

Martin Luther FTW. We now return you to your bass thread.
I'd rather have the guy alive and annoyed with me over an ego dented by the truth, than dead or sounding like ****.
