And to top it off, he's a really nice guy too! Got to meet him a few times that the NAMM show, very gracious guy.
First time I went to NAMM in Anaheim he was staying in the hotel room next door. Great guy I've hung with him a few times since including Detroit Bass day (he used a couple of my shots in Bass Player). He has a love for the instrument and an enthusiasm for the history and sound of the instrument. I've played that Teal green J on the stand to the far right a couple of times.
