In 2013 Scott participated in the movie Sound City, by Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters),[1] along with many others such as Paul McCartney, Butch Vig, Neil Young and Tom Petty. The movie was about the Neve console and its many visitors over the years, through the studio of Sound City, which by the way was where Nirvana's Nevermind was recorded.

Located just 25 minutes north of Hollywood, PLYRZ features a classic Neve 8048 recording console and rooms full of vintage instruments, outboard gear and microphones. The two-story, 5000-square foot warehouse with multiple rooms is filled with Scott's collection of vintage drums, amps, guitars, keyboards and recording equipment.
