[edit] Comments

you forgot to mention that he is a God of True Metal

Oh, really? :) Geevee (talk|contribs) 17:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know about his PhD in musicology? It's mentioned in [1]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.165.235.32 (talk) 18:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Real estate?

What's up with the real estate thing? Never heard about it, so looks like vandalism to me and I can't find any immediate confirmation from Google. Until somebody gives a source for that, I'm removing it. Vytzka 14:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Equipment

Should the article reflect DeMaio's unorthodox equipment? In an in-depth interview/article regarding his setup, his equipment was highlighted, and a notable thing was his choice for using piccolo basses with Octaver effect pedals. (For the un-initiated; a piccolo bass is tuned as a "normal" bass, but an octave higher. This also means considerably lighter strings, allowing a "guitar-like" approach to the playing.) An Octaver pedal then lowers the piccolo instrument's output back down an octave, giving the strange instrument a range corresponding with a normally stringed (and tuned) bass guitar. Further, the bridges of the basses were considerably narrower models, arranging the strings in a configuration almost exactly like a guitar. This is clearly visible in many pictures depicting his instruments, for instance here. Practically, this make the instrument more like a "four string guitar" than an actual bass guitar, allowing his distinctive playing style. For what it's worth, it is not a bass guitar. I can't enter the information into the article, b/c I cannot for the life of me remember where I read the article. If anyone finds the relevant source, please add the above. To be honest, I can't be bothered. ;) --Tirolion 10:01, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
