Stone, you frequently have a vintage 70s flanger on your board. I've spied both the MXR M117 and Maxon FL-305 at various times, both of which are driven by the out-of-production Reticon SAD1024 BBD. Do you have a preference for Reticon flangers because of their sonic qualities (I do!), and what are you currently using?

Also, what happened to the Fender Jaguar you used to play on Rats in the early 90s?

(OK, now I'm tempted to actually ask these.)

Do they pre-select from said comments and pin the answers?

i wrote the riff in Santiago Chile in my hotel before our first show in SA last time we were there.. i think. i wrote lyrics in seattle about a year ago . it was the last song that was brought to band right at the end of making the record ...fall last year. i love the simplicity of the song> Jeff Ament came in and threw wicked lyrical bass and keys on it right away and the rest is history.. Thank you so much for enjoying. It makes makes me very happy. we rehearsed a few times ... its gonna be gooooooood.
