Songs Recorded with
a 12: 11
All songs recorded using 12-string basses except the song "Killed By You" by the
band Toys which was misrepresented by Toys' bassist Jon Maye as a 12-string bass tune.
After the album was released it was learned that the song was actually
recorded with a 5-string Leduc bass. Maye is even shown playing the
5-string Leduc in the
video for this song. Weird......
