It pays to tread very carefully.

I think that you're mistaken; Kevin is in your mind.

I can't say I'm convinced by this, I'm afraid. I'd suggest that popularity is a universal gauge of popularity, and that's all (not necessarily a Bad Thing, but not a reflection of talent, nor anything else...). I'm not sure that Bach's popularity, either in his day or the present, changes anything concerning his talent. True, talent has no objective yardstick that I'm aware of, but why does one need objectivity, anyway..?

Good evening, Boomer, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good evening, FS, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

When faced with a buying option, I ask myself two questions... 1 - Do I want it..? If answer is 'No', walk away, if not, go on to 2... 2 - Can I afford it..? If answer is 'No', walk away; if not, buy it. End of. I've never considered bartering, negotiating, haggling or whatever. Just those two questions.

What, like a train wreck..?

You'll have to start another topic for that; 'Who would you have most enjoyed chatting to..?'

Surrealistic Pillow (Jefferson Airplane...) Anthem Of The Sun (Grateful Dead...) The Orchestra Of The 18th Century (Frans Brüggen conductor...) version of Schubert's 9th symphony.

But it's your fantasy..! It's all conjured up in your head..! ...

You will probably not be standing for very long.

Good evening, John, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Fellow drummer; my woes are more from advancing old age. I obviously aren't hitting 'em hard enough.

Aren't we all..!

Good afternoon, GG (well, OK; Mike...), and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share, as you already know. Well done on getting your new role; also for supporting your our everyone's favourite bass forum. Keen to see what follows...

Can't hear any great problem there getting that to FOH; I've seen dozens of bands with gnarly clanging bass which come across well without issues. I don't think 'flat un-EQ`d P-bass out front' is the only option available for FOH DI treatment, though. There are other factors involved on the console. Try the '+' button just to the left of 'Quote'. This brings up a little box, lower right. Select that once all the multi-quotes having been selected with the '+'. Hope this helps.

Thanks, and good to know there's Work In Progress; maybe I'll hold off searching for stuff till it settles down, then..! No point if I'm not going to find stuff, eh..? @petergales: Problem solved..?

@Kev Explanation, please..? I couldn't bring that up with any of the 'Search' tools I have. What's your secret, Guv..?

I've 'Reported' this, to bring it to the direct attention of the Mod/Admin team. The sleuths will be out with their bloodhounds and ultrasound tracking devices shortly; any odd knocking on your wood panelling will be coincidental. Just checking: have you looked down the back of the sofa..?

Good evening, BV, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Importing has its own foibles and drawbacks, and 'off the shelf', even if of a high standard, may not be exactly what is required. Just sayin'.
