Which is why it’s important that racism is defined officially and legislatively and not left to individuals to arbitrate for themselves.

Yes - there are plenty of definitions to choose from.

Your definition i.e the one you are presenting as being the "real" definition. My definition is defined in context of the post, and clearly so. This is an argument about nothing. Except that some people are desperate to accuse other people of racism, either explicitly or implicitly, and that's a very serious allegation to make .

I wouldn't want to be in a band whose music/lyrics or image was of some disposition which really didn't align with mine. Whether or not I could be in a band or associate with someone with opposing or extreme views would depend upon how forcefully they were inclined to forward their views and how accepting they were that mine were different. Another consideration is whether their views expressed or known elsewhere led to any repercussions/issues. Essentially if anyone made me feel uncomfortable or threatened then I'd move on.

I've found it, but it sounds like you don't now need it....

I'm not sure if you are a lefty like me, or the photo is reversed as sometimes happens online. I've found that lefty's need to be extra-cautious when flipping equipment because when something is gone, it's often really gone. And finding a replacement or even something similar if seller's remorse sets in is very difficult indeed.

Oh no, I’ll back out gracefully. People who think they’re entitled to define something like racism themselves are not going to get me walking into a ban 😃

Yes, they were. It’s where mine came from.

If you're only doing larger gigs, the BT would make sense. If not, the scalable nature of two smaller cabs is helpful, in that you can just carry what you need. Perhaps a Super Compact would be a good choice, rather than another BB3. That would give you the equivalent of a BT.

You generally get what you pay for in these cases, sure the Behringer will give you a signal, but a Rupert Neve Designs will sound better. I had an old BSS box for years, doing exactly what you describe, worked absolutely fine till I ran through an RND box at a mates studio, then I had to change up. Remember, all a DI box does is change the impedance of your bass output to match the mic level required by whatever mic pre-amp you have available, which will have a more significant effect on your tone anyway. Generally, I shy away from the likes of Behringer, and would suggest BSS, Klark Technic, Radial, Palmer etc. but if it's not going to be integral to your rig on a permanent basis, then try the cheaper ones.

Interesting. Not experienced that but also not used one with a huge range of instruments.

Hmm, in before the lock? 🍿

That is my dream situation! I'm currently nosing around Shake Some Action that you suggested too.

I didn’t say my definition, did I? I used the Oxford definition, available online. I find that’s better than inventing my own.

What makes you think your definition is definitive? My definition was in relation to the post I was referring to, nothing else.

It's a sad reality that every time there's an excited-sounding thread title naming a bass brand I'm unfamiliar with, I have a little bet with myself it'll be yet another bloody fake Precision. I probably owe myself around 20 grand by now. Although it'd be 25 if I occasionally took a punt on it being a 15-string singlecut coffee-table.

It’s not my jurisdiction, as I’m sure you’re aware. But it applies to me just as it does you.
