For Me, How I Feel About What

But, I Would Be Naive Not To Recognize The Number Of Musicians Who Tell Me They Have Been Influenced By Me And Sight Me - As Well As Alex And Neil - As A Musician Who Has Been A Positive Influence On Their Playing.

I Like To Practice On The Bass, But I Don't Do It As Often As I Should.

It's Hard For Me To Just Practice Without Writing Something.

I'm Always Scouring The Universe For Great Old Instruments From The '50s And Early '60s. That's Really, For Me, The Golden Age Of Basses, When They Had Just Been Invented Within 10 Years Of That Period And They Had Just Started To Come Into Their Own, Especially The Old Fender Jazz Basses And Old Rickenbackers And Gibsons. I'm Always On The Lookout. It's Fun.

My Emotions Are Very Simple And Always Have Been About The Hall Of Fame. It's Something That I Had Absolutely Nothing To Do With And Had No Control Over, So I Never Thought Much About It, To Be Frank.
