I wonder if Mr. Casady would remember what he was using during the "After Bathing at Baxter's" sessions, must have been late '67? That's where I first discovered him. I was aware there was something special going on in that instrumental jam, "Spare Chaynge" I think it is. It was the first time I became a fan of a bassist specifically and I've never forgotten him since. Phil's no slouch but Jack's style just resonates with my soul.mgod said:Jack's first SF had stock pickups and passive tone mods. The 2nd Starfire has an impedance dropping circuit after the pickups and passive tone circuits. According to RW, the first active circuit was done in m M-85, which was the impedance drop. The M-85 was done in between Jack's two Starfire mods.

There's also a story in my home town of Saratoga (about 20 miles down the peninsula from Palo Alto) that Jack and Jorma used to hang out with a guy named Al Beilharz and even jammed informally in a little park next to a creek, down the hill from Al's. Any possible confirmation or perhaps just another one of those "wishful thinking" myths? Thanks MGOD!
