I played with a guitar player who raved about Greg Lake. I was bemused at first; guitar players don't rave about bass players! Perspective is all. To the guitar player GL was only a guitar player. To me he was a bass player, and singer.
He was actually a lot more that all of those things. RIP Greg.
Greg came out from behind his guitar to become an quality singer and bassist, much the same way that Phil Collins came out from behind his drum kit to become a quality lead vocalist who still played the drums.

Cool pic! But I have a question. Is it just the camera angle, or do you like REALLY high action?! I tend to like mine medium/high because I tend to dig in, but yours really caught my eye.
Good question ! Actually that P bass was not mine (it was a bass on rental already available at the venue) and yes! Terrible high action and dead round wound
strings! However, I was able to manage the gig, and using the treble/medium/presence controls on my sansamp I was able to bring out some sort of high end from that P bass.
