If there was one bass guitarist that I feel influenced JJ, both in playing and sound, it was Chris Squires.
I know JJ has paid many compliments to him over the years.
He only announced he was ill last month, and passed away today.
Played "Roundabout" a few times this evening, to remind me what a great bass player he was. I have played the bass to a good standard over the years but never quite managed to master the driving bass line.
BTW the Rick Wakeman keyboard solos in that particular song must surely have been an influence on the young DG ?
