The "Bass played on The Chain" seems to be up for sale quite regularly.

I suppose people buy it and then spend a few months trying to find the settings to get [i]the[/i] sound and then give up in frustration and sell it on!

I remember when Performance bikes reviewed the first GSXR with fully adjustable suspension. It went along the lines of ‘provides the opportunity for an individual to set up the bike to their personal perfection, but in the real world all the knobs will be turned by a guy called Kevin and you will end up with a bike that handles like a complete dog’. This strikes me a bit like that.

You've all missed the point.

T[size=4]h[/size][size=4]ose aren't control knobs, each represents one note in a scale and you play them by tapping the knobs with your right hand while tapping (in a slightly different way) the strings with your left hand.[/size]

What appears to be a pickup selector is actually a rotary knob which allows you to choose which key the 'knobs' play in.

Ah, I see - so a bass accordion? Surprised no-one has thought of it before.

If you look at the link and the controls it’s a bit tongue in cheek, the increase hair growth rate and call waiter controls had me chuckle a bit.

I liked the "drummer tempo" switch, personally :)
