I just bought one of these. It is a tiny little thing (about the same size as a guitar overall but the body is slightly smaller)...sounds absolutely fantastic and is so much fun to play

Hip hop is kinda cheating but Thundercat is an amazing bassist, song starts at 5:40

Do we have a triple like function on here?
We should have eh :)

This is awesome... it makes me sort of relevant when I say I love hooky....
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Ooh, that's awesome. Never thought of that one.

I'll show that one to Jack later and see what he makes of it.
Don't know why that song is so damn good, but it is.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Shit, I totally forgot about this. memorable for the bass, paul's cheesy vocoder, and the flamenco lead break!
