I have just sat through the satelite tv show John Entwhistle - an ox's tale here in the UK for the first time - it struck me how much of an influence, consciously & unconsciously that John had on me in my formative years as player...it sounds wierd but its almost as if I had forgotten!
The sound of John live with his Alembic exploiter actually, for me defines the finest rock bass tone of any era. Incredible.
It still astounds me that John moved away from Alembic to Warwicks and Status etc where he absolutely lost THAT tone that blew me away!
John.
