People = stinky poo: Slipknot Beaten to it. Strange Brew - Cream

Howzat - Sherbet

Bought an Alesis Nitro Mesh kit for my son a few years ago, he loves it, but like everyone's said, they're still not quiet, especially the kick/bass drum. There's a USB plug on the back, as well as a mini jack socket to plug in an audio source (like a phone) to play along with songs. There was a link to an online drum teaching website Melodics which looked quite good, and had a fair few resources. It was free to sign up, and I think that it had a free membership period for Alesis kit owners, then reverts to a subscription. You'd have to investigate that, as my son didn't show any interest in it, he just wanted to play along to songs on his phone. A good set of headphones is a good idea as well.

Rock Lobster - The B52's

Hush - Deep Purple / Kula Shaker

Burial at Sea - Saint Vitus

Perfect Strangers - Deep Purple

Seen them a few times over the years, always thought the keyboards were more Motown/60's influenced (going along with @Barking Spiders Doors comparison).

As much as I'd love to acquire one, but I think I'll stick with my Ric's for now. 👍

I would have said it'd be easier to find rocking horse doings than an Artist Custom. I can dream.

The Cash

I'd always had a thing for Ric's, but never owned one until after about 25 years of playing, where I'd had P-copies, J-copies, numerous MIJ and MIK basses, even a couple of StingRay's. One of the best sounding basses was a Westone Thunder 1A, and an MIM Jazz. Had the cash and the chance of a 4003, and that was that. Had to sell it, but always hankered after another (though the Rickenfaker was a close second). Managed to pick one up for a good price a few years back, and that really was that. Still GAS-ing for other things, a Thunderbird, Ripper/Grabber, Victory Custom (passive Artist), Dingwall D-Roc, etc. There are/will be others, but the 4003 feels like "home".

I Wanna Be Your Dog - The Stooges

Just One Fix - Ministry

Great to hear. A guitarist I used to know used to really rate Coda.

Great looking basses.

Killing Joke - Extremities, Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions Killing Joke - Hosanna's From the Basements of Hell Mastodon - pretty much all of their albums Voivod - Voivod / Katorz / Infini / The Outer Limits Pretty sure there are many, many others.

Welcome to My Nightmare - Alice Cooper

The guitarist tracking some of our songs in the studio.

The HX FX is exactly that, just effects. AFAIK. Helix Stomp is the full fat Helix engine, just without the buttons and connectivity. Pod Go has nearly all the amp/cab & effect models from the Helix, but there's compromises with the processing power and available blocks. However, if you don't use too many effects, then it's great. Love mine.

Stammering...

Bloody computers...

My second ever bass was a Westone Raider I, but in the Red/Black paint scheme.
