I've swapped several compressors and dirt pedals on and off my board, and I'm finally happy with the pairing of the BC-1X and BB-1X. I particularly like that the LED metering on the BC-1X makes it very easy to set up.

To get a feel of what a short scale such as a mustang might be like to play, tune your bass down two semitones and put a capo on the second fret.

I play mustangs (currently own five) they're my favourite bass, especially the JMJ roadworn. The orange vintera II looks rather tasty and I have one of the orange squier classic vibes which is a very nice cheaper option.

Oh Ship! — The Buzzcocks

I use flats so I probably do it differently each time — I can't remember.

When I get a new bass though, I usually take all the strings off and treat the fingerboard as appropriate before putting on a set of flats. Am I the only person who makes sure a bass is spotlessly clean when selling it?

Depends on the magnets in the pickup: Black for alnico, cream for ceramic

Where did you remember last seeing your headstock?

Get Behind The Mule — Tom Waits

Come on, we all know that the most important thing about a bass is the logo on the headstock.

Don't Know Wye — Norah Jones

Sinister X-aggerator — The Residents

One thing about these that can come as a surprise is that they fit perfectly in any case or gigbag made for a telecaster. I have a peardrop-shaped hard case that I use for my telecasters, but it also fits my danelectro longhorn like a glove.

You Know You're Wrong — Elmore James
