EHX Slammi Polyphonic Pitch Shifter

At reverb.com I said,

Interesting idear

Not too far different from a other pitch-shifting whammies in concept, uses dials to set up which you can’t really do on the fly, and requires a bit of a “touch” to use with full potential. IOW, if you wanna get yer Morello on, you need to spend time with it. For me, it’s a useful noise-making variation for the odd – very odd – solo. 4/5

The Situation

Marc Sorrentino, left, and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, right, at a nightclub in Las Vegas on Feb. 14, 2012.

In 2010 I wrote a song about this clown and recorded it:

The Situation

c. ’10 The Hungry Drunx

Don’t tell me about the investigation
You ain’t wanna know this frustration
Ain’t no need to cry

Don’t be exhibiting youur elation
Keep it on the reservation
Ain’t no need to cry

This is the situation

Why more than one bass?

from a discussion at talkbass.com, I answered:

 

I record much more than I play gigs, so I have a number of basses for different sounds.

Wrapped strings, flats, rounds, active EQ, “low”-guitar tuning, acoustic/electric, fretless electric, fretless acoustic/electric, slide set-up, single-coils vs. humbuckers vs. piezo/mic’d and P vs. J … they all sound different, and make me play a little different.

Secret weapon

Asked “what’s yer secret weapon” at talkbass.com, I answered:

Live: my energy, timing and not fearing to look foolish

Recording: fretboard and theory knowledge/creativity

Gear: headless basses and Dunlop .73mm nylons, and a truckload of pedals; fretless; “low” guitar

Double-secret probation secret: if he’s good, play to the drummer’s hi-hat
