Farty badger with biscuit tin reverb. THAT is the tone I am (not) after. I bet those pups are very expensive.

Something I read today reminded me of this thread, so I thought I'd share:

Unilever were launching a new shampoo into the Asia market, just before the copy went off for label printing, a bored/mischievous employee added the phrase "Contains the X9 Factor" (of course there was no such thing)
The labels were printed, and Unilever, although a bit miffed, decided a recall was too expensive, so just let the millions of bottles onto the shelves.
After they had all sold, Unilever created a new batch, this time without the offending bullshit statement.
They were inundated with complaints; people were outraged that they dare get rid of "X9 Factor", without which the shampoo was nowhere near as good, and now their hair lacked lustre and body.

Nothing to do with bass, but hopefully a good illustration of placebo effect.
