I've already post this on another MB , but I think that should interest most of you... I was reading an interview of bass player Suart Zender (KILLER former bassist of Jamiroquai ) and found this: 13) How do you consider you got close to music and learning it? Is there anybody that you consider as your "teacher"?
SZ - I have always been into funky music. My first encounter with ‘the funk’ was James Brown. I remember when I was about six singing "get up off that thing" and annoying my grandmother endlessly with imitations of his infamous squeal. The person that inspired me to play bass was a man called Roly Wynn. I forgot to mention him as one of my influences. He was the bass player for an acid rock band called The Ozric Tentacles. We became good friends and he introduced me to Jaco and Helmut Hatler from Kraan. He was my biggest influence when starting the bass. He was like the Jimi Hendrix of bass.
Now I know why I think that Stuart is such an amazing bass player ;D

That is amazing. Makes me happy to hear that. I would cite both of them in my top five bass players of all time.
