| | | | His bass is all of the strings in the world, and none at the same time. His tone is reminescent of the mating call of an orca.

The tone is in the fingers- HIS fingers, that is.
Some say the best things in life are free. This is not true. He charges $15 per handshake, and that's just the fourth best thing in life.
He uses Dunlop 1mm picks, but only when he gets guitarist stuck in his teeth.
He is the best bassIST for metal. And Country. And R&B. And Prog. And so on.
He is the most interesting bass player in the world.

Without the bass being plugged in.
He has no need for effects, he can make his fingers sound like envelope filters, phasers and flangers | Ha this had me laughing loud at work, and everyone was looking at me wierd |

The "one" finds him.
Earthquakes tremble in fear of him.
California and Japan have banned him.
If he played your bass you'd instantly become a much better player.

He can also flog a dead horse until it gets up and plays "Moonlight Sonata" on a Rickenbacker. |

| HA... Thanks, but, I just lifted a line from one of the actual ads and re worded it.

Interestingly enough, they may be more interested to just, bask in their own self interest. |

He can play a one-and-a-half octave split on a piano with his left hand. Too bad piano is too wussy of an instrument for him.
He can wrap his thumb around the necks of John Turner's basses. Jean Baudin is in hiding, waiting for the day when his instruments will also be vanquished by this man's mighty palms.
