JPJ is playing an 87 string planet killer with nuclear butt clenching ability. Hes the only man who can handle it. I hear one of his testicels is actually made from Uranium and he farts better music than Timbaland and Beyonce will ever write.
I dunno if I'd go that far. It is epic, and better than recent QOTSA, but I wouldn't say it's better than them as a whole. Definitely better than Nirvana or Foo Fighters though, to me.
Jones is playing a 12 string bass - It's actually 6 string with octaves paired for each string. The bass is made my Hugh Manson who makes all his instruments. The body is made of graphite and the neck has built in LED lights that he turns on occasionally to see the frets. He plays the bass through two SWR SM-900 heads, each running through a 4 x 10 cab and a 1 x 15 cab. Jones also has a 10 string version that is a little lighter.
He played all of them at the show, 4,8,10and 12 string basses, a flat slide style bass, 8 string guitar and keyboards. I haven't seen anything close to that since the last time I saw Geddy Lee.
Trust me, having seen them in Toronto, he's not thinking that. The TCV videos never do the bass justice. It felt like a sledgehammer to the chest for most of the night.
man.....you must have been RIGHT next to me haha. Check out some of my videos from this show and you'll see. We must have been standing next to each other haha

Bassline reminds me of some of JPJ's Zooma album.

@KyngKaos , Zooma was a great recording! JPJ played great guitar on that thing too.

TCV reminds me of desert sessions more than anything which is such psychedelic desert juiciness.
