So itried using the bottle and low and behold, it sounds quite cool. i still had some coke in the bottle so it gave a watery sound. i also tried using a full deoderant can as a slide, which also was awesome.

No, lettuce needs some onions or tomatoes to frolic.

exactly my point, lettuce needs water to grow and we have no water, therefore there is no lettuce, therefore I have no work, furthermore, no money.

Yes, I am drunk and yes I know its midday

That's what I'm talking about Kalyptic! If it makes sound, its music!

That's pretty cool.....I play the bass with drumsticks. I usually hold the drumstick in my right hand and hit the string I want to play just below the pickup.....it sounds really good.
But the coke bottle idea...sounds good!

One of my mates does that on guitar. As a stage trick with the dummer - drummer throws one out to him, then he throws it back and the drummer throws his second stick out, juggling style.

Then the guitarist shreds, using the drumstick in his right hand to tap...
