rip Andy... you were a big influence for me... :sad:
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...

A very sad day for the bass world. 
It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society.  It's those who write the songs.

Two this week, and both too young.  Their music lives on, but we are going to start doing a lot of these threads in the coming years.

Sad. So modern medication or not, his AIDS got him in the end?

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 ...

Rest in Peace Andy.



Truly my first bass hero, I got "Fire and Water" for my birthday and loved the bass from then on.


Very sad day  :sad:

Next Saturday there's a solo bass competition in Manchester NH. I was going to bring my EB-3 and dedicate the performance to Jack Bruce. Looks like I'll be playing in honor of Andy as well.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

According to all the reports I've read, the cause of death was not immediately known and "under investigation". This kind of comment always gives me pause - especially when a family member says that she is "shocked":

RIP Andy Fraser. An ex-brother-in-law turned me on to Fire and Water (I always thought All Right Now was Bad Co...) around 1979. As a young (15?) aspiring bass player, I was pretty mesmerized by "Mr. Big". Wonderful player. Too young...
