Stu, sigh, I'm an agnostic, no bible, I don't even believe in what's in the real one.
OK,
the musical evidence of Bill Wyman wishing to or being able to play like John McCoy
is so scarce to be statistically irrelevant. But: We simply don't know whether Bill Wyman, in the comfort of his many mansion's many closets, is an aggressive high-speed bassist with a strong tendency to be ahead of the beat. So don't take my word for it.
And Stu: If you fly over and emulate my style of playing (not very technical at all) using the same bass and amp setting within, say, a couple of hours so that someone who knows me mistakes your playing for mine, I'll pay for the flight ticket and a fine Frankfurt hotel where we can have a drink afterwards!
