Actually, this is quite common.

Well, I don't know if I would go that far ... but Eric Johnson has proven
that at least he can, so I am sure there are others.

I mean, I've been known to be more than a bit picky about my monitor mix and
how I hear my bass on stage in relation to the rest of the band, but the
"brand" of battery in an effects pedal is a wee bit over-the-top, IMO.

Bass, eh?..*G*..Reminded me of this joke:


An anthropologist decides to investigate the natives of a far-flung
tropical island. He flew there, found a guide with a canoe to take him
up the river to the remote site where he would make his collections.
About noon on the second day of travel up the river they began to hear
drums. Being a city boy by nature, the anthropologist was disturbed by
this. He asked the guide, "What are those drums?"
The guide turned to him and said "Drums OK, but VERY BAD when they
stop."

Then, after some hours, the drums suddenly stopped! This hit the
anthropologist like a ton of bricks, and he yelled at the guide: "The
Drums have stopped, what happens now?"

The guide crouched down, covered his head with his hands and said,
"Bass Solo".
