"The bass suit was actually one of the first cordless guitars in existence, and I invented it. It was built right into this silver bodysuit so it looked as though the bass was coming out of my body, and the volume and tone knobs were on the sleeve...When it worked it was great, but the tunings were a little strange, plus I canāt tell you how many times I got shocked. It wound up being just one more thing that we had to worry about on tour: āWell, I wonder if this will work tonight.ā After a while I couldnāt stand wearing it anymore so I gave it up."
