Ned Callan: I've seen those adverts with JAE on that bass posing for a Simms-Watt amp, but I've never seen pics of him performing live with it. I think it was a short romance.
And about the second bass: JAE called this the puzzle bass.

Hmmm.. knowing JAE's good taste of humour that could be the case:)

Or as in: "it's a puzzle I can't put down".
Anyway, I kinda like it.

Isn't there some quote from or about JE along the lines of endorsing anything they paid him enough for? Of course I could be way off...
