    Nice that. I loved the single and also listened to 'No ID' and it reminded me a little of some of Living Color's more mellow stuff.

    But only 4 strings. I didn't vote for Jaco because, despite him being arguably the best musician in that list, he wasn't one of the players that influenced the young Paul_5; his influence came later in my musical development.

    Don't eat the yellow snow - Zappa

    Very "disintegration"-esque. I Like it a lot.

    I twisted my back last weekend on a gig using IEMs - I reached too far and twisted getting my bass off its stand. I thought that was the worst of it, then Sunday it triggered a bit of sciatica too. Silly, silly boy. played sat down too, so I know it was poor handling that did for me.

    iLok are available pretty easily - any online retailer should be able to sell you one, but they're MUCH more expensive than when I bought mine - they're about £60 now! You'll need the iLok Manager software (free download), an account with the iLok software, and a license in your iLok account that you can drag over to the iLok

    Best sound I ever managed to get from a Metal Zone was the satisfying 'clang' as it hit the inside of a skip. Your mileage may vary though.

    Sting Me - The Black Crowes

    Easiest Motown bassline (from a non-syncopated, treading perspective) is probably "Baby Love" by Diana Ross an the supremes - just a steady crotchet note line throughout.

    Courgette up, Stand up - Bob Marley

    Depping for a local party band for a 50th last night. 2 sets of floor fillers and some very enthusiastic audience participation. Cab ride home in the snow was slow going though!

    Studio etiquette? LEARN your stinky poo, BRING your stinky poo (plus spares) and SHOWER!!

    Ebony is pretty hard wearing, so you should be able to keep rounds on there and not have to worry too much about it. Personally I favour Rotosound Nexus on my fretless, but they are more round wound than flats. I've tried LaBella tapes on there too, but they were just so floppy. LaBella Low Tension Flats are great strings for a fretless too.

    Probably my fretless Jazz through a DHA VT into an Ampeg SVT classic out to a 6x10”. Trouser wettingly good.

    I've got three. One fretless Jazz/MM Hybrid and a fretted counterpart, and a P bass in the lounge for noodling at home.

    I really like iReal Pro. It’s dead handy for my post-covid brain to take out the reliance on my shocking memory, but it’s also really clunky when making my own charts. Still the best thing I’ve tried.

    And EMG Licensed pickups if memory serves. My first 5 string was a B2V and as has already been stated it was great.

    Every home should have one!

    I've had one of these many moons ago - lovely, squelchy fun to be had!

    DIY Effects

    There's probably just a resistor (and/or) diode that's blown if you're lucky; it's likely that it's a quick and easy fix.

    I'm not too bothered about the bass itself, but I've got to have a Jazz profile neck. Even on my Precision it's a Jazz neck.
