Hello Mr Simper. I have recently seen the Jim Marshall documentary of which you are featured. Being a classic rock fan and a Purple fan your name didnt sound familiar to me so I researched the internet amd YouTube. All I can say is YOU can PLAY the hell out of a BASS. You are a seasoned melodic and fluid player. Purple didnt know what they had in you. I am a big fan of yours and now know your story. Best wishes to you Sir keep playing
