Can someone explain? Like if I plucked a string on D'arcy's bass and then the same string on Melissa's, it would sound different, kind of like a guitar sounds different when you turn a bunch of the dials on the amp or something?

I feel like a ton of people say her tone didn't fit the music, something along those lines—isn't that something Billy would be exacting about? Wouldn't he get her to change her...fuckin'...settings or something, to be closer to D'arcy's? Insist she play a different bass?

I can't imagine this is easy to explain in words as opposed to just hearing it, but if anyone wants to give it a brief go, I'd be grateful
