Have we seen this one in this thread?
Bruce Foxton played Ric a lot in the early years of the Jam. IMHO he is among the top bassists to come out of the Punk/New Wave movement - together with Burnel from the Stranglers and Mick Karn from Japan. Sadly, without The Jam, he lost his foil for those busy, even nervous, but always entertaining bass runs and hasn't done much of note since then. Reputedly, Paul Weller began to dislike his style as The Jam matured and his later bassists after he had gone solo all had a sparse style. But he invited him to guest on one of his more recent albums.
Weller is another guy that grew tired of the trio concept.
