KNOW YOUR BASS PLAYER ON FILM: "It's a great little bass and it suits a short bloke like me!" I first witnessed Jim play his customized Fender Mustang in 1979 with The Kinks on their Low Budget tour - with Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson as a support act no less! Mark and I were thrilled when Jim dug this this iconic instrument (which you hear on many Argent and Kinks classics and also used with The Zombies ) out of storage replete with his "Kinks strap" - and brought it to The Horn in St. Albans as per my request.
