Random playlist time - Three On E. Hopefully self-explanatory. I've thought of four so far, got any more suggestions?

how do! My favourite Laurence Canty story from the basschat archives: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/193152-the-power-of-basschat/#comment-1884147 Also, Colin mentions Laurence in the Bass Magazine interview from the first edition of Bass Magazine https://bassmagazine.com/artists/colin-greenwood-how-to-disappear-completely I've got both What Bass (third edition) and Electric Bass Guitar, The Complete Guide - More What Bass memories to follow but what sticks in my mind is how to set up a Boss Octave pedal for optimum Pino sound. The Complete Guide - the rhythm patterns, aieee

I used them ages ago but switched to New Moon for their much more flexible cover, and they're always happy to receive an updated equipment list from me (they may make paper aeroplanes out of it for all I know) For proof of ownership in event of a claim, a previous conversation was that receipts are best, photographic proof (with you in picture if possible) even better.

When I adopted it I had to say to my band "I'm going to sound terrible for a few weeks" (to replies of "no change there tone" etc etc)

Check out the three finger method that Gary Willis uses. You'll have it sussed by about day seven or eight.

In the mid-90s I was in a four-piece where at no point did the members of the band ever manage to be in the same room at the same time. As far as I know we haven't split up yet.

Thanks for the videos. Here's a link to the album on spotify

I had a bet with myself for what time he would roll out the "it's not a C chord until I play a C" quote (first reported appearance, Bass Player magazine, April 1992) (ffwd to 27m51s, I was over by 13m27s)

I've got a useful app on my phone called Sound Meter. it ranks noise levels as follows diesel truck hair dryer rock music threshold of pain

I once had from a punter "can you turn down please? It's making me feel sick" (everyone else was ok)

nothing really springs to mind, Groovehacker

Harmonic Booster + Super Symmetry here

Lateralus is the better album, although Aenima has my favourite song (Forty Six & 2), said tone enigmatically

I've counted on all toes and got to 2040. Sooner than you think!

Meanwhile I'm sure everyone knows by now - the postponed Glasgow date is now cancelled.

Boom, from Chicago Nov 15th, replacing Duchess for one night only.

And if they had, Fear Inoculum would only have been out a couple of months by now and we'd all be still very excited about it. (mental image: Tool newcomers collectively scratching their heads)

When you lay it out like that it should really be 3, 5, 8, 13 years. Come on Tool try harder.

A few tips from my top shelf: Opeth - Garden of the Titans King Crimson - Meltdown Rush - R40, Time Machine The Police - Certifiable (video quality on this one is amazing) David Byrne - American Utopia
