His bass lines forced the US government to fund the moon mission.

He uses Stratocasters as picks
He is a riddle, inside an enigma, wrapped in a double humbucker |

His volume knob goes to 12
He's never asked for more cowbell
When you google funk, his right thumb is pictured
He is the baddest MoFo bassisst in the world. |

His playing compels guitarists to turn down so they can hear his bass.
Every time he stops playing, a puppy dies.

He still gives private lessions to Stanley Clark. He can pick out good tonewood at a glance, from satellite photos. But he only uses sustainable sources. |

When he speaks his voice comes out of your bass cab; even if it’s off
He has been on the cover of Guitar Player Magazine
Cliff Burton didn't die; he gave up and became a gas station attendant in Wyoming after hearing him play
He once called Steve Via wanky and Steve agreed
Tuning forks are calibrated to him
Your bass has cheated on you with him. You've had your suspicions but are OK with it anyway
He has a signature model bass: all of them
He IS the most interesting bass player in the world. |

He dresses frets with his bare hands
straightens the neck with a glance without touching it
and it's always perfect after he's done.
He is...
...the most interesting bass player in the world. |

His wang can be played in the manner of a washtub bass (sorry for the mental image), even in polite company
Lars Ulrich asks for him in his monitors
He is the most interesting bass player in the world |

He's played his own arrangement of The Ring Cycle For Solo Bass to critical acclaim.
After hearing him play, guitar players say "That's why I play guitar. Bass takes too much skill."
He is...the most interesting bass player in the world.

His low end ruptured the space time continuum and went back through time to punch Beethoven in the eardrum. |
