As apposed to me? How did you come to this conclusion, from me simply noting that intonation is off? Which it is. You should try adjusting intonation on your bass, you might like it... It's usually done by those wee screws at the back of the bridge attached to the saddles, by moving them back and forth, depending. You can find detailed instructions online.

As opposed to unreal musicians playing unreal music in an unreal studio...

All you need is love, really...

It's a delay for a reason... No one in this thread is talking about a reverse effect in real time. But yes, the EHX Attack Decay pedal uses envelope to simulate sort of a reverse like effect in real time, not what is discussed here however.

Watch the Corners - Dinosaur Jr.

There's also the reissued Danelectro Back Talk, which is a combination of analog and digital delay, though exclusively a reverse delay, but a pretty amazing and very analog sounding one at that.

Pork Roll Egg and Cheese - Ween

Stating that they use the original multi track recordings, rather than just calling it the original album tracks, has me thinking that there might at least be some live re-mixing involved at the shows. Which would match with the statement in the same article/interview that there will be solo musicians playing an instrument live on some of the songs at the show.

Do they just mime to the album versions of the songs though, or have these songs by any chance been pre-re-recorded live specifically for the tour, or at least are special more live like re-mixes of the album versions?

The reverse delay on the Zoom B1on, B1Xon, MS-60B and MS-70CDR is indeed pretty damn amazing. Especially if you throw some subtle spring reverb in front of it, which these units would be capable of as well. And the two latter would tick the box of being compact too.

That's quite the pair of buttocks.

Ha, Ha, conservatoire students! LOL... Wait... What?... Uhm....

Pop music is and has always been more entertainment than an art form. No big surprise, really. To rewrite a common mantra here on Bass Chat slightly: "No one in the audience can tell the difference or care, so why should you?". They are primarily there to be entertained, not to listen to music in specific, or at least that is secondary to them.

Teenage Lightning - Coil

There also seems to be a tweeter horn unit, that will have to be counted into the equation also.

That intonation...

I once said "Hey Lou!" and waved to Lou Barlow outside of the venue where Sebadoh was playing as he was walking by, and he greeted back with a "Hey!", a wave and a smile. I also had a poem of mine printed in an anthology otherwise filled with poems from famous Danish poets. And I featured on a cover of a Mount Eerie (Phil Elverum) song on a record that also featured a Mount Eerie cover of a song I helped compose. I also once had dinner with the sadly deceased famous Norwegian singer-songwriter St. Thomas (Thomas Hansen) and his band. Edit!!!: Oh, and I completely forgot, I once had a song I co-wrote, sang backing vocals, and played lead guitar and bass on, added to the Danish national radio (DR) P3 channel's playlist (and obvious played ever so often for a while).

Squier Sonic what bass? A P? In any case, good luck.

I am sure he still got specific spec preference in instruments, even if it might be true that he is feeling them, rather than knowing specifically what they are, as you wrote yourself: Also there's a reason he fell in love with that bass specifically, which I am quite sure was playability rather than looks and tone, since he had both the looks and the pickups changed on his signature version.

I use the guitar version of this for my short scale bass. Not less than amazing value for the price. 30mm high density industrial padding. And yes, one handle, and comfortable back straps that can be sipped into hiding. Big pockets for storing additional equipment too.

Sunday Morning - Velvet Underground

Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins

I need this!

I meant with your fingers, does it buzz even worse when you touch any of the pole pieces with your fingers?

Fair point.
