There’s no right or wrong (except slap 😉) I use whatever sounds best. The upside about using both for any song is that if you fumble the pick mid song, you just carry on finger style.

I’m not a xxxxburst fan, but that is a seriously good looking bass.

I jumped to the images and then went back and read the text. I was about to post "Lovely bass, shame about the red bits" I guess that answers the question for me.

Pre-production model?

I can’t. Not sure how this metric determines how good a bassist is, to be honest.

lots of noise in that signal...

Later addition?

Stupid question, but is that not just the base colour (of the sunburst) before the red and black are sprayed?

Yeah. I should make the effort too. I’ve seen them on each album supporting tour.

I was inspired by this: https://youtu.be/8VkNmcjPHRE

I did read they’re reissuing everything on vinyl again soon... hopefully not Tool’s version of soon though.

I love the little abstract tracks (I'm currently listening to a live bootleg with an improvised interlude). Many years I fell asleep listening to AEnima, after a heavy night in the pub, (-) Ions penetrated my dreams to such an extent I woke up, drenched in sweat, convinced the house was having electrical issues and I ran an flipped the main circuit breaker 😂

I'm well aware of how they sound. I've been listening to them since Opiate was released. To me each album has been an evolution on what came before. This track hasn't got that, when I listened to it again last night it sounded more Lateralus style than 10,000 Days, IMHO. I'll still buy the album.

Nice!! I live just outside the Beacons park down on the South East part that sticks out.

Whereabouts are you?

Just listened to it. Sounds like a track that didn't make the cut for 10,000 Days. 13 years on and there's no progression. I hope this isn't typical of the whole album...

Yeah £13k is a little excessive. I once got a couple of quotes from Shuker for a black PJ with a chrome plate and a Blue Sparkle PJ with a chrome plate. I was about £1500 - £1600 for either option

I swap the gold and chrome plates over depending on my mood/ how much Maiden I've listened too. also the gold plate is 1/3 of the weight of the chrome one...

Here's my Fender SH for comparison: and a close up showing the blue metal flake over a Lake Placid Blue finish:

Didn't the interview also say that the whole process for this was put in place before the new management took over?

I think I like that! Nice work... The track, not the broken collar bone...

Your brain just retains the important things. 🤣

You are correct!

If I was still in a band I’d have the justification to get one. But I’m not 😭

Hey @fuzzonaut have you come across a clone of Animal Factory's Godeater pedal?
