Here is some nice early footage of Jimmy playing with Alan Holdsworth in Japan. This features a really cool bass solo near the end of the track - plenty of nice Alembic visual footage throughout. http://youtu.be/jX70njhUKII | ||

WOW - three of my favs on one tour. Holdsworth, Wackerman, and Johnson - so cool. Way back in high school, about 4 or 5 of us were really into Holdsworth - no one else had a clue. Being in flyover territory, another group not seen. Thank God RTF has been here at least 2x. Stephen | ||

Yikes, who are them youngsters? Ha! Thanks for the kind words. That's another amazing and unusual Allan tune, one of my faves. And for you Series bass historians (is such a thing?) that is 82 2252, a graphite necked bass which was only fretted for a short time - including this Japan tour (Holdsworth's first). Soon after it became a fretless and now serves as a backup to my main fretless; 80 1467. Cheers, Jimmy J | ||

Series Bass Historian is here. Thanks, Jimmy. Serial No. 1467 is 79' range and No.1467 is LSG series 2 that I know. Your bass No. is 1667 ? (1567 is MSB) Eiji | ||

Yes, there are a few of us youngsters still out here! IMO, one of the most beautiful solos I've ever heard....'Marina', from "Grasshopper". Singing fretless tone, melodic....and when you threw in that short flurry @5:01, had I not been sitting down, I would've fallen down! Lastly, Jimmy, 'One More Reason' from Tom Howard's "View From The Bridge"....fabulous! (yes, I still have the album) Thanks to youtube, it's available--- Jay | ||

Jimmy, your gig with Alan at the Glasgow "Ferry" two years ago still remains my favourite ever live bass performance. The combination of sublime playing & wonderful tonality! It was an added bonus chewing the fat with you too :-) Make sure you come back again! | ||

Eiji! Of course! You know more about Alembic than ... well ... anybody! I will take a close look at the '80 when I get home and post an update. It's definitely a long scale graphite fretless - Series I - but I'll check the number. Jay, thanks for all that. The Tom Howard record was maybe even before that youtube clip... I don't know if I even have a copy of that... Nice guy, talented singer/songwriter. Sad to have lost him suddenly a couple years ago... Hey John, yes, that was a fun hang. Hopefully there will be other opportunities like that in the future. Best to all, Jimmy J | ||

Eiji-san, Thanks to your deep knowledge I have discovered that my main fretless bass is actually 80 1497.  I wonder how many years I've had that wrong? I'll be calling my insurance company tomorrow! Thanks! Jimmy J | ||
