"I also stumbled upon an old Burns Bison bass. That is the heaviest instrument I've played, it weighed a ton but it is the closest in its bottom end to the Thunderbird. That bass brought life to a few tracks. I'm still using the Ampeg. I haven't found anything that will better it."

"It was everything from a ZX Spectrum to the Animoog that just makes noise when you draw with your finger. It just keeps us from getting bored. Over the years we have become a six piece live because in the studio we outplay ourselves and have more layers than we can play on stage as the three of us."
