I sold off my collection back in 1989 - 90.  CD's were easier to carry around when you moved.  I am now back up to around 2k.  All types of stuff too.  Wish I had some of the stuff I had before I sold them the first go around........

I retired and sold everything a while back.  Just started playing again 7 or 8 years ago.

The local library was a huge asset in getting stuff back.  I burn stuff down to disk on my computer.  Without this asset, I never could have got back up to speed playing bass again. Never.

I've always loved his early sound, especially with the Jefferson Airplane, Songs like Crown of Creation or most of After bathing at Baxters.

This band set out to be the English Jefferson Airplane.

After Bathing at Baxters starts with this song. The bass just grabs me. Jack was a huge influence on me. I think I bought this album three times.

Yup I bought it several times myself still have a  vinyl copy. I thought Jack was a pretty solid player, very adventurous yes, but he knew how to hit the root notes when they needed to be played. His TONE though was what hooked me, he is in my all time top ten bassists list along with Tim Bogart, Jack Bruce, Felix Papparlardi, and of course James Jamerson. Many others escape me but Jack is right on top in my book.
Ever hear Voodoo Child (Slight Return) on Electric Lady Land? That too is Casady, he could play in the groove when it was warranted.

I've got even more of them now! The original models
 
ICB 300 (bolt on) and
ICB 500 (set neck),
the first reissue of a couple of years ago, ICB 200 (mini buckers),
the newish active one, ICB 300EX ,
the ltd. edt. chequered "Rick Nielsen" look one (which with its alder body sounds quite different to the others with the maho bodies) and the
Sharlee D'Angelo neck-thru signature model.

I've got a crush on Icemans!
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Highlander

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
