He plays a lot with words and mispronounciations. In the 80ies he would regularly announce their comeback track "Perfect Strangers" as

"a song about a football team down the road where I lived as a child ... in Perfect Street ... They were called The Perfect Street ... RANGERS!"

I probably misunderstood (and still misunderstand) at least 80% of the lyrics I hear in most rock songs.  The music always mattered to me more than the lyrics. I often wondered why singers thought their lyrics would affect anyone when they were mostly incomprehensible the way the music was mixed. (And they way many singers garbled their lyrics while "emoting" all over the place.")

My first guess was this would be a thread about a denim covered Reverend bass guitar. Incidentally, they have an interesting G-3 kind of bass. Korina body too.
Nice enough basses but those body shapes take some getting used to.
