Did anybody see John's letter in the current UK Bass Guitar Magazine? It is a rebuttal to the Chris Squire article. Go get 'em John!

Wishful thinking, but any link to this article Jeff?

Wow, I'm shocked! It was just a friendly e-mail to the editor.

Was that the CS "I invented ROS" article?

jps · Post by **jps** » Fri May 20, 2005 5:17 pm

Yep!

It is in the letters section. AFAIK, there is no link, perhaps John could post his e-mail here.

OK is there a web site where I might be able to do the same?

What other leads can you give me?

Saw the interview, I thought he was being a bit generous with the facts but I think he does genuinely think that he was partly responsible for splitting the pickups between two amps.
Don't know how he could do it though, isn't his bass mono, and therefore not able to use RoS?
He may not even have been aware of RoS at the time.
I liked what he about JPJ though- "let's face it-he was Led Zeppelin"!!
