At the guitar shop: "Have you any two string slide bass guitars? Something with maybe a flying vee and spirit level motif?" "Certainly sir, we have a wide range of those. Step this way." "Hmm. There's nothing here I like. Haven't you anything a bit more...golf-baggy?" Tom. That is a unique instrument. I'm in awe as always. God bless you all there and stay healthy.

Great video! Please excuse my ignorance. What notes are the strings tuned to? Are they tuned the same? Thank you!

@TomPetersonRefuseReuse 5 ай бұрын

I don't remember, I just made it to fool around with, not to play along with others. I think they were A and D strings from a bass, so I probably tuned them that way.

Very nice! Which scale length and string gauge did you use?

@TomPetersonRefuseReuse 7 ай бұрын

Thanks! I'm not sure of either, I just threw this together, the strings were used too.

@TomPetersonRefuseReuse 7 ай бұрын

Scale is 34"

Great that Tom, can it only be played with a slide bottle neck ?

@TomPetersonRefuseReuse 5 ай бұрын

Yes, because there aren't any frets,and the string height is high.

Are those PAF zip ties? That's where the tone is you know

Lol

@TomPetersonRefuseReuse 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry, had a migraine yesterday, but yes, I think they do add some zip to the tone.

Kinda unusual but sounds good. Not sure the random musical interludes works at all, either have voice over with occasional silences or music completely, not a mixture of the two. And can I just say, harsh I know, but since you left Cheap Trick you've really lost your looks. Just sayin' like.

@TomPetersonRefuseReuse 5 ай бұрын

Commenting on someone's looks? Hey, if you're that insecure that you need a little boost by bashing me, go ahead. I never had any interest in people that comment on something that you can't help.

You've obviously missed the point. I'd explain but perhaps it's beyond you?

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse The comment was kind of a joke. There is a famous bass guitarist called Tom Petterson who played/plays in the rock band Cheap Trick. He was I guess what you'd call handsome back in the day. My comment was a pun on the very close similarity of his and your name. Honestly, being musically inclined, which I deduced from your channel, I thought you may have known of his existence and the similarity of each of your names. Perhaps I presumed too much? But whatever, I never intended for you to take it as a personal attack. Sorry I made you feel I did.

@@killer-kane yes, I know who he is, but since you commented on my looks, I figured it was an insult. You said it must be beyond me, so I thought it was something deeper that I didn't understand, but yes, it is only about looks. Have a great night.
