   Jaco Pastorius said much the same thing.  He was often asked (by
 interviewers who wanted to know about his equipment, his set-up and
 various modifications), how he got his incredible tone.  Almost 
 invariably Jaco's reply was that his sound was in his hands.

     Yeah, I know.  Scary, isn't it?
      Cheers,
               Martin
