A friend of mine got Brian Jones's traded in Gibson in 1962 because he was in there at the right time. True story.

This is where Jack Bruce bought two shortscale Dan Electros ("longhorn ")basses that were used  to record most of Disraeli Gears and live performances with before switching to the Gibson EB3.

@depper I heard mountain at woodstock ,the stanley warner theater and the fillmore east the sound was coming through the wall while we were waiting on line for the next show .

@spacepatrolman I agree with you about Manny's but Leslie West is the one known for guitar tone. Acoustic or electric. They don't call him the King Of Tone for nothing ya know! ;) That being said, all these musicians are great. Im a fan of Sabastian.
