BTW isn't he already in the R&R Hall of Fame?
God Bless, Ray

| | | Yeah, It's not like enough people have made a buck off Jamerson! (besides Jamerson)
Brilliant marketing dressed up as an honor.
Run out and buy those legendary 1962 Three-Color Sunburst Fender Precision Bass “Funk Machine” reproductions! Quote:

I agree it's a silly marketing thing, but it's always good when the right people get recognition. Now if they also induct Pete Wentz, then we'll have to talk.

| | | But the Fender hall of fame doesn't get Jamerson's name in front of the public, nor is it designed to.
It reminds players and wannabe players who already know of Jamerson and like him of his fender p-bass. The 15 year old emo kid who's into Pete Wentz isn't going to get into Motown because he saw Jamerson's name in the FHOF any more that I would have gotten into Ron Carter (or whomever) when I was 15 and into Squire and the non-player man-on-the-street isn't visiting the Fender website.
Jamerson in the FHOF is targeted at players who already dig Jamerson to make the Funk Machine association and sell product. It's a sermon directed 100% to the choir. Quote:
