Fielder and Jamerson were definitely my early inspirations as well, when I started my bass journey in 1971. Since then, I can honestly say that there have been many more inspirational bassists for me, but it all started for me, with JIm Fielder and James Jamerson. And a big shout out to HeathKit bass amps (kits), as I had one of those when I first started! Love hearing Jim talk about his bass journey! There'll never be another time like those early days! Thanks Jim!

I am a bass player and played professionally from 1966 to 1972. Jim Fielder and James Jamerson were my inspiration. Jamerson received the recognition; Fielder did not. Jim was every bit as funky as Jamerson, but had those jazz chops too. Thank you Jim Fielder.
