Lots of pills apparently... according to his feedback profile. :D

some bassists by pass the tone and volume controls because they think they get a purer sound, Mike Dirnt does this I read somewhere, I hardly ever use the controls on my bass, use the amp or FX pedal to make any changes to volume or tone, I took of the controls on my spare bass, a right handed symmetrical Hondo professional II, because I'm cack handed I 'converted' it to left handed and they just got in the way

When I saw Black Moth in Leeds not long ago, I noticed the bassist has some custom looking long scale SG style bass with no volume or tone controls. Looked awesome in my opinion. He only used it for the last song though...
