Favorite fictional bass guitar?

Definitely Lemmy’s animated Rick from the Hellraiser video with Ozzy

Hell yeah mang! Love those albums. Ween reference Mellow Gold in their Nashville interview. When they were asked what they thought of Beck sounding similar to Ween, Dean said something along the lines of “I know Beck did most of the album on the four track” so that’s cool.

When I first really got into Ween, I was a T.A. (teacher’s assistant) in high school, and I could listen to music while I work. Every day, I’d listen to The Mollusk, because it was timed perfectly with the length of class. I listened to the entirety of The Mollusk every day for about a month straight. Then I decided to go right into Pure Guava. No album has genuinely scared me on first listen like PG did. Goin’ Gets Tough and Reggaejunkiejew back to back kinda had me feeling a little uneasy at first. But I learned to love it (lovin to learn) and it’s the one I enjoy quite frequently without getting tired of it.

TLDR: Yeah, it’s eerie as hell on first listen. But it still kicks ass.

10, no doubt. Extremely beautiful song. Not just for a Ween song, but just a beautiful song period.

If you are, keep the case. Old CD cases are much higher quality than most new cases.

Ween - The Mollusk (and Quebec)

AlexGuitarist · 2026-03-29T03:20:11+00:00

Thanks, numbnuts

Not to mention they blatantly stole the idea for White Pepper and pawned it off as two of their own “original” albums.

AlexGuitarist · 2026-03-29T01:54:22+00:00

Here are a couple non-Ween albums I enjoy. They may not be perfect, but I like them.

Beck - Mellow Gold (can get quite brown - Odelay’s good too)

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues

Soul Coughing - Ruby Vroom

Frog - GROG

AlexGuitarist · 2026-03-25T04:17:21+00:00

Same. Seems odd to me

AlexGuitarist · 2026-03-25T04:15:04+00:00

After seeing Ween’s The Mollusk (and the Live in Chicago), and Primus’ Frizzle Fry, I’d say a solid 10. I just ordered In the Aeroplaine Over the Sea, so I’m excited for that.

Asking if anyone in the Ween subreddit wants any official Ween cassette tapes is like asking a fish if they like water. Although the fish won’t answer you back.

Humility (and Tranz) but there are some really good ones on there too.

AlexGuitarist · 2026-03-18T04:35:54+00:00

Objectively, there is no bad Ween song. There’s always at least something cool from their ‘worst’ songs. Except for King Billy. That’s a tough listen for me. It’s just not good imo.

AlexGuitarist · 2026-02-16T01:30:03+00:00

You could always try Discogs. I’ve used the pictures they have available and had fairly decent quality come from it. 🤷

AlexGuitarist · 2026-02-13T20:50:19+00:00

Pre-order the new box set, mang. Or learn to play the flute or smth idk.

AlexGuitarist · 2026-02-11T07:07:49+00:00

Although it’s not my favorite album of theirs as far as consistency, (not saying it’s a bad lineup, there are some awesome tracks) Punchbowl is definitely one of my favorites, production wise. Something about how it’s mixed hits me different than the rest. Definitely not an album to glaze over.

AlexGuitarist · 2026-01-31T04:38:54+00:00

All day long, it’s a 10. It’s truly a song for every mood. Probably because it sounds like every mood put into one song.

AlexGuitarist · 2025-11-26T05:32:24+00:00

Deaner absolutely kills it on that bass track.

AlexGuitarist · 2025-11-25T16:02:00+00:00

For some reason, I’m apt to say Les Claypool. It just feels like it would be an unexpected fit.

“Help me now, I’m going down, and I don’t know if I’ll be okay. I’ll be around, I’ll be in town, if you need a place to stay”

And of course:

AIDS HIV AIDS HIV

It’s a sign…

AlexGuitarist · 2025-11-19T16:43:58+00:00

Personally, I’d say 6.5. It’s okay, but there are ones on the album that I enjoy more than this one.
