Better than a story I heard about Steve Jones doing something unspeakable to a sandwich Glen Matlock was about to eat.

Certainly a lot more interesting music than Metallica.

Probably, the Greasebucket circuit cuts both treble and bass when you roll it off, so you don't get the usual muddiness that would normally be expected by rolling off a normal Fender tone control. I wasn't a massive fan when I tried a Performer Jazz a few years ago, although the bass was pretty nice aside from that. The Yosemite pickups were very nice from what I remember.

It's a bit more than devil horns (watch from about 1:59:50) but I'm still more inclined to believe it's mocking rather than serious.

Playing at "I'm getting paid a shitload of cash so let's see how far I can push them" I suspect. The bit where he's playing the flamenco guitar part and James is like "oh shit, he's this good at guitar as well" was hilarious.

Ah, my bad then if so.

I've been pondering the SUB range for a little while since trying one a few weeks ago, and now they throw this at me: https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/music-man/sterling-basses/sterling-by-music-man-sub-stingray5-hh-stealth-black-5-string-j1 *sobs at inadequate bank balance*

Cliff Burton was a fingerstyle player. Kirk even mentions after the audition "it hasn't been played that way since Cliff".

Yeah, Dave has Views on fake Speakon leads.

They do not

There definitely some interesting things said in it. Like when James is complaining about decisions being made overnight in his absence, and Kirk candidly reports "well now you know what the last fifteen years have been like for me". Robert Trujillo had some fecking stones on him to walk into that mess, even if they threw a big pile of cash at him.

They've had this in the mod shop for years

They've been on record since as saying they really did him wrong and have massive respect for the way he handled them shitting on him for the fifteen years he was in the band; not to mention Lars basically admitting that the model Jason envisaged for Metallica as regards potential to do side projects etc is the one that exists now. So while he hasn't been in the band for 20-odd years his influence on them is still being felt.

I lived there for four years and apart from a select few pubs I avoided most of the ones in and around town.

A pub in Sutton Coldfield full of dickheads? Who'da thunk it?

I think you've mixed up the TE Elf (excellent, my one's glitches notwithstanding) and Warwick Gnome (also excellent I believe) 😀. My Elf sounds amazing with my Barefaced Two10S, and I definitely plan on adding a One10 for rehearsals and smaller gigs, as well as the rare occasion I want to play out loud at home.

I see what you did there!

Yep, I'm 6'2" and I can't really do a frets 1-4 stretch because of my tiny hands. I make up for it by shifting a lot.
