I had no idea you spoke fluent Nilo. I'll send him your address. Hannibal reading a book on how to play a low brass instrument will keep him foaming for months. Later ... ...

In case Nilo asks, do you like the bass then? 🦄

@Newfoundfreedom i have two and I'd say the neck radius is flatter than some basses, but not detrimental in the least IMHO. The neck depth is fairly shallow and I find it comfortable to play. Some folk complain that the G string can fall off the fretboard, and it is fairly tight to the edge but I've found that wearing the bass just a little higher than I would a Fender Jazz V fixes that 'problem'. I'd certainly make an effort to dig one out near you, or nextvtime you are in an area where one is available. Good luck with your search and your final choice. Snorkie

Yep, gigged one of those for years and years and it was wonderful. I sold it to buy a Trace - bad move looking back. ☹️

Good morning to you. I had a Sinsonido once - great lightweight, no-fuss bass. 👍

Strange Fruit -Billie Holiday

If your daughter completes a degree in music, she could teach the next generation, either in schools or in Further Education. If she completes a higher degree, she could teach/research/write from the position of a university lecturer. I'd say go for it - you cannot predict which doors might open in the future. Best of luck to her, whatever her final choice.

Bottle of red wine -Eric Clapton

Some tremendous ideas here. Shows the importance of music to many.

Give me all your basses. Give me all your basses. Do it now. Do it now. 🤭
