Wow, Feedtime is amazing! I wish I‘d stumbled over it by accident, unprepared, not knowing about this tribute project. That‘s a fine one.
I‘ve always took this cover as somewhat of a dry joke. Can‘t say I like it but I also don‘t find it bad boring ugly or whatever. It also eludes me why it‘s supposed to be worse than DB, AADAP or LTEC. From my not being a designer point of view.
and if by Ballard Bent means JG Ballard, I can heartily recommend his novel Concrete Island. Nice to see him liking him.
Please don't start this vaccine "discussion" again!

I was aware about EMI's shady dealings. But it's 2021 now and this is about spotify. I'm just curious about what customers and artists, especially the politically outspoken ones, will do about it. I brought this topic up elsewhere and it's funny how quickly people started to talk only about the pros and cons of streaming and vinyl buying and totally missed the point. At least this didn't happen here :lol: Or let's just bury this topic again. Better no discussion than another one going nowhere.
Squier himself, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsGjl6kP0SI
There's also that guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wke0eAPnvRg
The Rick necks are very diverse. I have a very thin one on my 4003 from 2010 with quite low strings' action which I like a lot. A buddy ordered also a newer 4003 model only to find it's got a baseball bat neck. I don't know if it depends on the model or the year of make. i think the 4001 are quite thin, too.
I think I remember Bent talking about prefering his bass necks to be quite thick. He wants to "work" on the notes. or something like that. His Stavem basses, which he played a lot in the Kenneth years are modeled after the Gibson non-reverse Thunderbirds. I mention this because I never touched a Stavem but that Thunderbird model in a shop. And man, as beauties as they are, that's no neck for me. Super clunky for my tiny hands.
On a humble side note. I was lucky to open for them in '97 with my band and Bent seemed to be quite smitten by my green Stingray back then when he saw and touched it (pre show chatting). A couple of years later, he played one, too. It was even green as well. See Bizarre festival 2002 on youtube. Coincidence? I'd like to think no. :mrgreen:
Whoops, I just stumbled over this https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=motorpsycho+bass+cover Never thought of looking for any of this before. There goes my evening…
Interesting. And thanks for bringing it up. I don‘t know anything, haven‘t seen them for two years. All I can say is you don‘t need a dedicated pedal to split the signal path. Some mono to stereo fx pedal would do just as well. So there might be a creative/hidden bass to guitar amp switching going on, or he runs everything everywhere always. That wouldn‘t surprise me.
And if his Dano double neck only has one output connection, then he can‘t go Chris Squire. He used a Rickenbacker with its stereo output, neck to bass amp, bridge to guitar amp.
