Who are the brain police? - Zappa

I want my earthly remains to be scattered at Disneyland - I don't want to be cremated though...

Je sais que tu sais- iggy pop

Gimme Some Money - Spinal Tap

Definition of 'perfect pitch' - tossing an accordion into a skip without it touching the sides.

Love to Hate you - Erasure

EQ'ing fits can sometimes be a matter of cutting some of the lows (nothing more than 200Hz) will remove some of the 'thump' - you may need to increase the master volume as you've removed a LOT of the energy of your instrument by doing this, it'll give you a little bit more 'poke' though.

Not sure about 'unacknowledged', but two of my favourites, Ler (guitarist of Primus) and Scott Ian (rhythm guitar and aeronautical tomfoolery for Anthrax) are firm favourites of mine.

One tuner, NOPE one drive, - Bluetube Tube Driver 903 one fuzz/distortion, - Coloursound Bass Fuzz clone (with extra mid control) one envelope filter, - Lovetone Meatball one octave, - OC2 (well, single octave clone with a tone control on the octave) one modulation, - EHX Small Clone one preamp (doesn't have to have DI out) NOPE one pedal that does reverb or delay (or both) - EQD Disaster Transport and one wildcard... - Small Stone Phaser That's what I'm running at the moment (with a couple of extras).

oh yes!

He’s got loads of similar ones that he rotates on a strict rota - they’re his Synchronici-tees

15 Step - Radiohead

The closest emulation I’ve heard was from a Kala bas ukulele.

that's like Motörhead without Lemmy!

Presumably the lack of pockets in said loincloth.

Do strings count? I’ve bought strings this year.

sing while you play - that way you internalise what each note sounds like even before you play it. Chord theory helps massively too, so work on dominant 7, major 7 and minor 7th chord arpeggios - they'll give you the root, third, fifth and seventh (if you choose to use it) of ANY chord in 95% of western popular music.

You've got to be careful about 'Daydream Believer' in certain parts of Glasgow!

Of the two choices I’d rather have one awesome bass rather than lots of low end ones, but currently my stable is 3 mid-value instruments, all built to do 3 different jobs.

C*cksucker’s Ball - FZ

Nothingness - Living Colour

Ampeg SVT II - had these provided at festivals and in studios and they've ALWAYS been amazing. Personally Prefer a 6x10 instead of an 8x10, but thaT'S JUST ME. SWR SM400 - Probably the most flexible eq in all of Christendom, plenty loud enough too! amp SVP-Pro - needs a power amp, but still great sounding piece of kit, like a real Ampeg but with added 'drive' control for filth!

But if you’ve spent all the time and effort it takes to get really close musically it takes comparatively little effort to change your shirt. 😉

Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos - Public Enemy

Have you checked all of the screws on the machine head? Check that the big screw through the centre of the tuner hasn’t worked loose, and also the 4 screws that hold the backplate to the headstock would be my next step- also, is there any ‘wobble’ in the tuning key itself when the string is tuned?
