Do you think that Tom and Johnny were operating at this level of theoretical complexity or simply played a series of chords they liked?
Similarly, it’s unlikely (but not impossible) that Charlie Parker was thinking processing all the complex substitutions at 300 bpm.
I have asked the same question about many of these type of videos. I'm sure they don't worry about the theory and just play what sounds good.
There's one I saw recently that tried to break down the time signatures of a Tool drum part, I'm pretty sure Danny Carey isn't sat there thinking about 4 different time signatures while he is playing! It's about feel and groove.
Edit - took this from Danny Carey's wiki entry
He has also stated that when he is playing to an odd time signature, he tries to drum to the "feel" of the song and establish general "inner pulse" for the given time signature instead of fully counting it out.

One of the best I've seen is Björn again. Yes, it's an ABBA tribute.
I lent them a bass once, it came back covered in make up!

Mick Karn.
Crap intonation, weird slidey 'bwarp' noises. Sounds like someone didn't learn how to play fretless properly.

What's happened to folks getting one over a scammer by getting them to pay for the couriering of box of bricks? I live reading those stories, haven't seen one for years.
No scammer is getting MY bricks.

I often tune mine to C, when playing along with Devin Townsend songs.
I've seen no ill effects, and it's quite good exercise I feel.

I have my number one (a Yamaha 5-string I got for a bargain price) which is genuinely the only one I need. I have a really nice jazz type thing that I use for drop-D stuff, a Harley Benton 5-string fretless and a Stagg EUB.
Everything else (about a dozen or so) are unusual or have an interesting story. They all sound quite different and it's good to have them available if I want to create a specific sound, alternatively they are just pretty things to hang on the wall and are generally not expensive. I think the most I've paid is £400.

I have indeed played this recently. I don't usually enjoy fretless P basses but this one is an absolute peach!
It really sings.

Hooks on the pedal means they also grip carpet

I guess being foot operated means no need to touch germ infested buttons. Also, obviously, you can keep playing your bass while pouring yourself a refreshing drink.
If I was to avoid touching the buttons I still need to use the door handle next to the machine!
The one pictured is looking pretty disgusting, the drip tray and below is filthy. Ours get regular cleaning and servicing.

We have the same water coolers at work, I can't understand the point of this? 🤔

I'm a sucker for a pointy object, currently a little squeezed financially but still tempted!

Me. And probably anyone who favours a P-style neck over a J. 40mm perhaps could have satisfied both preferences? I'm still not overly keen - always feels like a compromise to me.
38mm nut width necks, touted as 'fast', are swapped into P-style basses more often than vice versa. Good technique, profile and finish are far more significant in rendering a neck 'faster' IMO. Horses for courses and all that...
Me too 👍
Anything under 40mm is an absolute deal breaker.

That's an old Kay, I am fairly sure.
I bet it has a plywood neck.

Fabulous pedal. Really, really special effect this.
Agreed, so much more than an octave.
I currently use mine as a phasered fuzzy synth but with the built in fuzz turned off. Mono mode, both upper octaves up quite high and a bit of modulation, sounds amazing!

This is an undeniable fact. Long may it continue!
