You'll be needing one of these

Green machine - Kyuss

You do realise this is Britain? The difference between summer and winter is the temperature of the rain.

I quit my last band when the two guitarists demanded that I bought an SVT with 8x10 and got it within their three week deadline. The Trace cab was heavy enough. If you threw things at it they'd get trapped in orbit.

Violent pornography - System Of A Down

Dopesmoker - Sleep

I've driven a sunny. I believe it had half a horsepower, maybe less. A very reliable car but dreary is an understatement. I've also own a Trace 4x10 and it weighed more than a collapsed star. That doesn't sound like a good combination.

I'm not sure whether you're joking or not. I think that's one of Nirvana's least interesting bass lines

I think the classic Pro is a bit less bright than the Vintage Pro but I turn the tone knob down to about a quarter to lose a lot of that extra brightness.

I actually went to the shop with the intention of buying a Gibson but just out of curiosity tried the Vintage Pro. It definitely sounded better to me, maybe not quite as nicely finished but overall, I preferred the Vintage Pro to the Gibson even ignoring the £1000 price difference. Mine is set up for tuning down to C with some DR DDT strings. It sounds like thunder. Put on a nice light overdrive and it sounds fantastic.

So does Alice Coopers bassist, Chuch Garrick. According to the experts on the Thunderbird Facebook group, they cannot possibly be standard Epiphones and must be hand made specials which look like Epiphones because a non US built bass would disintegrate by the third song.

Melvins are one of my favourites. Going Blind is a great one to play, so is Honey Bucket. Melvins definitely blur the line between grunge, sludge and stoner. I do enjoy a bit of stoner, I think there's some grunge influences in some Kyuss songs, Demon Cleaner has got a bit of grunge about it.

I'd say alternative rock but then grunge was alternative rock anyway. I think that was the second bass line I learnt.

That's a killer bass line. I don't know (or care) whether it's grunge but it's an excellent line and an excellent song

Doesn't My Wave involve some weird tuning? Possibly EEBb? Great song though

I grow mainly varieties of habanero which originate from the Amazon. If you bought your bass from Amazon it'll definitely be fine.

I used to grow chillies in a South facing conservatory. My biggest problem was using all the fruit they produced. I did have to water them twice a day to just keep them alive and chillies don't like much water.

I think Vulfpeck are terrible and RHCP are boring and I don't enjoy Jaco

I don't know where you read that but it's wrong. It's well under 2000 at 70mph.
