Just rejoined talkbass after a 12 years absence and just found this out. I’ve talked to Alan several times in the early 2000s to early 2010s and this is not what I wanted to hear. So sad. May he rest in peace
Generation Xer here too. I own 2 P basses that are my go to basses for Motown and punk and for the rest of my stuff I use my Jazz bass or Lakland so depends on the material I guess. One Precision and one with flats and I could probably handle most stuff
