Seeing the pictures figie posted reminded me, I think I have figured out what the back of Simon's red bass says!
"Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill"
In photos you can see the "Age and" "ome you" "th an" "nd skill". The rest is filling in the blanks so it could be wrong, but I can't think of anything else it could be.
What kind of pick does Simon use? Anyone have one that can post a pic?
Don't have one, but I saw a picture someone who got a couple of picks after the Sydney shows posted. Can't manage to find the picture now of course, but a quick google search gave me this and if I remember correctly the picks from the Sydney show looked the same so he probably still uses those.
Cool, thanks for the link. I know different players like different thicknesses and the feel of different brands. Just wonder what he likes in terms of feel of the pick.
My guess would be live roughly around the Bloodflowers era. I think it's most likely from about 2000 or perhaps a bit earlier as he mostly wore a beanie around 2000 it seems from a quick YT search, I'd guess 1998 at the earliest
I haven't used a P-Bass as my primary instrument since the early 2000s but during the pandemic, whenever I've recorded anything, the final bass line I go with has always been the version I'm playing the Precision on.

I'm pretty sure I saw that phrase somewhere on his person (probably in 2016) Words to live by
It would be so perfect if you would just fall out the window
