In frenche, us, english, korean, Never Mind !

Yeah, didn't they attempt this at some point in the '70s or early '80s, too? I remember hearing something like that back around 15 years ago and thinking it was pretty bad (compared to their early stuff). BTW, Bonzo, the Sonics have played some festivals in the past couple years, both in the US and Europe. But I think they're done...

electrocute your cock said:

Sounds a lot like hard rock to me. Not bad or anything, just not The Sonics at all.

I had no idea these guys were still around. Let alone still playing and still making new recordings! It makes me justified in growing old disgracefully...They still sound brilliant, full of energy, passion and just a hint of insanity. First heard Psycho 30 years ago on a brilliant compilation and have loved it and any other Sonics I can get hold of ever since.

In Love With These Times? What the hell does that mean? Car commercial.

I recommend a Big Muff or an Electro Harmonix Black Finger tube compressor. That way, you get a natural bass tone, but you can naturally overdrive it with the tube preamp in the compressor. Check it out.

1968 Vox Constellation Mark IV and 1969 Vox Meteor (sometimes referred to as a Super Meteor)

the duo sonic's a nice one...

Epiphone Rivoli Bass, sunburst finish
Fender Duo Sonic
Farfisa Compact Duo organ

Not from the said period but I think the ultimate garage'n'roll bass you can get on the market is the epiphone Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane) - it changed the way I played (released in 1998 I think). It's modeled on the 1973 Les Paul Signature Bass which he used - a HOLLOW BODY instrument with SO MUCH CHARACTER!!!
It has this funny boost button you use like a monkey on some potent banana it's just discovered - for a week - and then you decide the basic "unboosted" sound is the ultimate rocker (it really is). It sounds so sixties but with an extra kick in the pickup, loads of sustain and no need to know how to use it much as it sings and crashes almost on its own - tends to show that even after 1968 some people knew how to build good instruments.
It's the sort of instrument that makes you think "I didn't find this bass that bass found me...". The price is decent as well though I've started breaking strings regularly since I've used it which turns out quite expensive - as I said it changed the way I play!!! I literally fuck with my bass on stage.

If you could miraculously have ANY piece of gear from 1960-1968, what would it be?

Call and make a request, leave a comment, tell me a joke, whatever! I might use it on an upcoming episode: 314-266-8472
