Wow... a legend moves on to the great gig in the sky...

I don't think he was involved with the recent (2008?) reunion gigs so he may have been ill for some time...

I want to write an IM about Jet. Burns now had the Barracuda baritone but does anybody know what kind of baritones Jet played?

I think he only used Fender baritones, but if I'm wrong please tell me!

RIP Jet! And for the rest of us, let the needle slide in the groove of Jet Black (the title of a Shadows tune that got to serve as the stage name for The Stranglers drummer). Or Nivram, where Jet gets the floor shaking (if you turn the volume up to the point where it deserves to be, for that tune!).
