The Cartel has got bottomless funds from pushing that SPANK crap. If we make an open attack on them, they'll wipe the floor with us. They must be making the SPANK on that big boat that Curly led you to. So we gotta use our heads, or rather one head. Your head. I'm asking you to destroy that SPANK factory as a personal favor to me, Salvatore Leone. If you do this for me, you will be a made man, anything you want. Go and see 8-Ball, you'll need his expertise to blow-up that boat.

Trivia[]

  • This mission is only a mere cutscene, yet after watching through it, it will be deemed as a completed mission in the statistics.
  • The player can save after this mission before triggering the second part of this mission at 8-Ball's autoyard.
  • Salvatore promises to make Claude a "made man" upon completion of this mission, even though Claude is not Italian (as pointed out in Cipriani's Chauffeur, when Joey introduces Claude to Toni Cipriani, saying "He ain't Italian but he can get things fixed"). Under the code of the Cosa Nostra, non-Italians cannot be "made". Also, real members of the Mafia are only eligible to be made after about 10 to 20 years of experience with the Mafia. As of this mission, it is only the third time that Claude meets Salvatore. However, revelations in the mission Last Requests could imply Salvatore was simply lying to Claude in order to earn his trust and manipulate his loyalty.
  • The title of the mission seems to be a reference to English musician "Bomb the Bass".
  • Extra dialogue was added in PC and mobile versions where Salvatore mentions that the Family should fight the Colombian Cartel, but aren't strong enough due to being at war with the Triads, though it is not subtitled and Salvatore doesn't lipsync with them.[1]
