    And anovver fing. That TV show, The Repair Shop. Why are they all so nice? They're definitely up to something. And why does everyone who goes on to get their tat fixed have to have a cry? Why won't they fix things for people whose parents are alive and healthy? Why do they insist the parents must be dead? 

    "Can you fix my mums old egg whisk?"

    "Is she dead"

    "No, she's alright. I dropped her off at Ethels on my way here"

    "Im afraid we can't fix it if she's alive"

    "Thats a shame, I wanted it fixed"

    "Then the old bat has to go. We can deal with her if you're not up to it"

    Do yourself a favour - do NOT watch the episode with the "restoration" of a vintage Fender Jazz.

    Okko Motorbass

    I promise this isn't a "tone is in the fingers" comment, because it isn’t, but in Lemmy's case most of his sound comes from the bass and the way he plays it. His actual amp sound, and distortion, changed a lot over the years - you've got the classic early neck pickup tone to his later oft-quoted bridge pickup "bass off, mids full, treble off" which to me sounds like chewing tin foil.

     

    People also forget that those EQ settings will only work on a Marshall Superbass, so the bass and treble are effectively flat rather than fully cut.

     

    The Okko seems like a decent pedal but the distortion was only one part of Lemmy's sound.
