As an aside, what's that orange bass he's playing?

It’s an F bass and it was in an SBL giveaway they just did.

Wow…. what a great thread. It absolutely didn’t take the direction I thought it would.

 

Much like Scott’s album 

 

Did you not expect the death metal comparisons?

Which to my ears sounds fabulous. In one of the videos on SBL he talks about the choice of bass. He really wanted to play fretless,  but decided that would just be too much stress to get the intonation right as  well as play the music and worry about everything else that had to happen in four days. And  another fretted bass had a slightly better tone for what he wanted, but the F felt much better to play this material on. 

 

I am so glad I don't have such worries: I only have two basses,  they are very different to each other and I can't play either.

Nobody expects the Death Metal Comparison.

It's like the Spanish Inquisition.

Apart from, everybody expected the Spanish Inquisition... Firstly Pope Lucious 111 declared the first inquisition in 1184, nearly 300 years before the actual Spanish one started, so they had time to get ready. And if 300 years notice wasn't enough, the Inquisition actually gave thirty days' notice. This was a thirty-day grace period during which heretics could voluntarily confess and avoid serious punishment. And these "Edicts of Grace" were read publicly after Sunday mass, so everybody expected the Spanish Inquisition. However, with time, these edicts were phased out, anonymous denunciations became more common, and more people were detained without warning, in a more Python-esque manner. Of course, by that time, the Inquisition had become of the most powerful, infamous, and universally known forces in Spanish life, so I'm not sure it could truly be said to be unexpected then either. 

But nobody expects the Death Metal Comparison!
