A few who can’t pin anyone for a Jazzmaster. Personally Adam Franklin is my Jazzmaster messiah (from Rick Beato’s favourite band), but some of the more famous users would be Sonic Youth, Elvis Costello, Tom Verlaine, Nels Cline, Ric Ocasek, Jim Root, J Mascis, Troy van Leeuwen, Robert Smith, Kevin Shields, Chris Stapleton.

Finally!!!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
