Am I correct in thinking that he doesn't actually use this bass himself? He should stop his barney with Musicman and start using Stingrays again, his tone was amazing during that period.

Yep, Agree with the last two posts. Blowtorch is the way to go, you can pick them up like 80 quid used, a lot less then I paid

Have you done your group practical yet?

Nope, I'm sick of telling people that I play bass for them to go 'OMG Can you slap like Flea!!!'. I agree with skankdelvar, no single individual is the best bass player.

Pino Palladino Custom Shop but strung with Rounds. And a Macca Rickenbacker for backup. Bi-amp: Aguilar DB751 --> Aguilar DB810. Mesa/Boogie 400+ --> Aguilar DB412. My Board would consist of every MXR bass pedal, a cryababy and a tuner.

The bassist posts on Talkbass and seemed like a decent bloke. Can't confess to liking anything about that video thought.

Thomann do an Thomann-branded tweed case for thirty eight quid. It might be better quality then the Ebay ones and has a three year guarantee.

Aguilar are releasing an octave pedal of their own: [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_octamizer.htm"]http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_octamizer.htm[/url]

Also apparently Krist Novoselic thinks he's the new messiah.

Not sure if it was the same model but I used a BOSS Metal-zone once and it sounded alright. Obviously there was quite a large low-end loss, but it sounded like a synthy fuzz. If you do give it a go don't push the volume up to much, especially at first.
