    MM has always been a bass hero of mine. I remember about 20 years ago reading that he ONLY used about 20 tunings for his regular 4 string basses. But I think I would have a brain aneurism trying to get my head around what he does now. Amazing and remarkably musical and melodic for a bass.

    But I bet he can't pat his head and rub his tummy at the same time.

    Thanks for posting Kim.
