Is the James Jamerson that died in '83 James Jamerson Jr.?

 

[JazzyJames]

Im assuming a Steinberger of a sort.

Jr. is the son of the one who died in '83. Don't know the bass though.

 

[Siegy]

He certainly doesn't play like his dad.

Actually, I believe that THE James Jamerson was actually Jr., and the one in the video posted above was the third but goes by Jr. Its confusing.

You are correct. and the bass is a LeFay.

It looks like a Steinberger Spirit but I'm kinda drunk soo.....

So, that is the son of the James Jamerson that goes by James Jamerson but was actually Jr. so the guy in the in the video goes by Jr. but is actually the third in the line?

+1

He plays very sloppy for a pro that apparently played with a lot of artist.

 

[BassChuck]

Looking at that right hand and the way he plays and the way he talks and his facial expressions I'm reminded more of Larry Graham than Jamerson.

 

[Yvon]

I'm not impress by his playing in the video either.
But he is still a lot better then me!
