On the subject of Squire, Levin, picks and other devices, there's an interview with Levin posted in Notes From The Edge at the Yesworld site that is interesting. Apparently Levin found it a challenge to learn Squire's parts and to do justice to his sound.
This is WAY off topic, but I want to put in a plug for an album by the Gary Burton Quartet with Eberhard Weber from the late 70's called "Passenger". A rare example of a band with 2 bass players, Weber and Steve Swallow. Of course Weber had a style and sound that could easliy accomodate such an arraingment. Anyway, the first track ("Sea Journey" by chick Corea) is neat in that it features 2 very different and great bass solos from these 2 players.
It's jazz all the way, but progressive and not "fusion", and a good place to start for any prog fans wanting to expand their musical horizons in the jazz direction a step or two beyond "Hot Rats".
