{{Scott|One of my favorite things in life is gear. I used to be a 2 bass guy with a 70’s SVT rig and that’s it. I never traveled the old SVT stuff. I keep it at home for recording. But I have taken the SVT classic reissue stuff on the road. It’s OK stuff- better than almost any new stuff I have ever played. Now they are making it in Vietnam and I have heard it's not quite as good (is that a nice way to say #^*@?) I love Ampeg but I think they're blowing it right now. | {{Scott|One of my favorite things in life is gear. I used to be a 2 bass guy with a 70’s SVT rig and that’s it.

Whole new deal this tour- I'm super excited about figuring it out. Check with me in the spring for an update. Thanks for asking. I love talking about it. I have also tried a numerous pedal setups and again, this year will be totally different. Steering away from the multi effects stuff. Trying to step it up a notch Will be playing more Lakland basses as I try to retire my irreplaceable old Fenders.}} | Whole new deal this tour- I'm super excited about figuring it out.

{{Interviewer| | {{Interviewer|beetle, [[weerez.com]] |Do you own an upright bass? Have you ever used one during any [[Weezer]] practice/recording sessions?}} | ||
{{Scott|I've never owned an upright bass. I have huge respect for the guys who play them. That’s the true sound of a bass right? Maybe someday my interest will be sparked. My favorite use of one in a rock band is Soul Coughing. I'm going to put it on right now. As mentioned above- I freak out over electric powered stuff. POWER POWER POWER ahahahahhaaaaaa…..evil laugh? How do you spell that?}} | {{Scott|I've never owned an upright bass. I have huge respect for the guys who play them. That’s the true sound of a bass right? Maybe someday my interest will be sparked.

{{Interviewer| Anson |Do you prefer to play with a pick or with your fingers on the bass? as a bass player, I always thought the bass should be a fingered instrument unless you have to play so fast or harsh you need a pick. what are your thoughts?}} | {{Interviewer| Anson |Do you prefer to play with a pick or with your fingers on the bass? as a bass player, I always thought the bass should be a fingered instrument unless you have to play so fast or harsh you need a pick. what are your thoughts?}} | ||
{{Scott|Hey, Anson. I felt the same way forever until I started hearing bass players like Chris Squire, [[The Beatles|Paul McCartney]] and Sting. I wanted to be able to do everything possible to get different sounds out of an electric bass. It came in handy with Weezer. I love the warmth and bottom I get with fingers and I also really enjoy the attack, aggression and palm muting sound with a pick.}} | {{Scott|Hey, Anson.

{{Interviewer| | {{Interviewer|beetle, weerez.com |What was the rest of the band's reaction to the on-stage attack you received during the 2001 KROQ Inland Invasion?}} | ||
{{Scott|They were really surprised to find out it was a friend of mine. That guy broke me out of my stage fright and the rest of the show was great.}} | {{Scott|They were really surprised to find out it was a friend of mine.

{{Scott|Are you kidding me! I have been a huge Howard Stern fan since way back. It was one of the coolest things I've ever done. Being there playing for Howard live on the radio. A dream come true.}} | {{Scott|Are you kidding me! I have been a huge Howard Stern fan since way back. It was one of the coolest things I've ever done.
