A man with such good taste in basses should always be remembered.

I recall the name Jackie Lomax from one of the first Grand Funk songs I learned, "Inside Looking Out".
I also think he was in the second incarnation of Sharks with Chris Spedding and Andy Frasier.

No, he was in the second incarnation of Badger, also featuring Tony Kaye, ex -Yes organist.
The 2nd incarnation of Sharks did not include Andy Fraser but Busta Cherry Jones on bass.
-
What did he have to do with Grand Funk? Was Inside Looking Out a cover?

Inside Looking Out was a cover of an Animals song. Along with Gweimer I can say it was also one of the first Grand Funk songs I learned. However, I also don't know what the song had to do with Jackie Lomax.

From the footnotes here (http://www.discogs.com/Animals-London-67-Stockholm-68/release/1517607) (if this info is correct) it seems he was mistakenly credited with co-writing Inside Looking Out, but it really was Alan Lomax.

Badger! THAT'S IT!!! I have their live debut. I'm getting old, and getting my offshoot bands confused. I'll have to check my memory on the Grand Funk thing. It could be that an old review compared it to Jackie Lomax. It's hell getting old and senile.

What I found was this:
Songwriters: Burdon, Eric;Chandler, Bryan James;Lomax, Alan;Lomax, John
So, that would be where I got J Lomax in my head.

I love Mel Schacher's tone with his mudbuckered jazz bass. (http://www.talkbass.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=81444&d=1202539731)

Jackie Lomax... That reminded me of a record I bought in the early 70's. Yeah, there it was. Three's the name of the album. Smack dab in the middle, right between Little Feat's Sailin' shoes and Love's Forever changes. Never knew that Lomax was Englishman, and did'nt have any idea that he was in The Undertakers! And never, never, ever thought he used a T-bird. That's mighty impressive! I just always thought he was a talented early 70's New Waver! Gotta buy that Mojo, a magazine that at times is just great!

You guys never heard "The Eagle Laughs At You" or "Sour Milk Sea"? One of Apple Records early singles. "Sour Milk Sea" had a backing track featuring Ringo, Paul, Nicky Hopkins and Clapton. Cool song.

I guess you have to be a Beatles fan. I have had the Jackie Lomax 8 track for years. Essentially it is a Beatles backing track with him singing.

That's how I always thought of it too.

It sounds a lot like the sound they were getting around the time of Ballad of John and Yoko/Old Brown Shoe. The mix, the drum sounds, etc are all very similar - fat snare, lots of room sound, guitar a little snarly, and pianos have a narrow honky tonk vibe. I really like the bass tone on there as it is fat and defined. The Badfinger/Iveys stuff is kind of the same sound around that time. I don't remember who mixed/produced it, but it has a McCartney sound.
