Your reinstated me @Stub Mandrel..!

You can't. I don't suppose they are really, although is does alert folk when a change to the list has been made.

UPDATED LIST: Just removing myself from the list. I have just given up playing and, a matter of days later, the QSC packed up! I'll be selling up soon, apart from the QSC obviously. @scrumpymike - everything he owns unless he sells it between now and then @Rich- Shuker 5-string, OLP/Jaydee fretless 'Ray, Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2, Barefaced Super 12T cab. @Kateplaysbass - Ashdown CTM-100 and LB212, Pawn Shop Mustang, medium scale ACG Finn, and maybe also ACG Recurve and Bass Collection 5 string fretless, since I'm thinking about offloading both of those @Woodinblack - Bongo, just to wind people up @Richard R - Brawley 5 string, as usual, HB 5 String thing with Roland hex pickup and V-bass COSM synth. @BreadBin - something interesting @chyc - a very nice double bass, an Ashbory Bass, GSS 06B400MKD combo, and possibly Warwick Streamer fretless, Sandberg Custom 5 with Delano XTender, Sandberg TT Marcus Miller rip-off, BC 110T cabinet, BC 112mk3 cabinet, Acoustic Image Coda @TRBboy - Frost Custom Basses PJ5 (my first build from scratch), Sandberg California TT5 Passive, possibly my customised Yamaha BBN5, Markbass Stu Amp 1000w, GR Bass GR 410+ (1200w, 4 ohm), a fairly unexciting pedal board 😅, & converted Trace 1x15" cab, if it's in a satisfactory state by then

The OED definition, just for reference of course... Thump (v) - To strike or beat heavily, as with the fist, a club, or any blunt instrument, producing a dead, dull, somewhat hard sound; also, without reference to the sound produced, to hammer, pound, knock forcibly. Thump (n) - 'hard heavy dead dull blow with something blunt’ (Johnson), as with a club or the fist; a heavy knock; also, the heavy sound of such a blow (not so dull as a thud). Also figurative.

@scrumpymike - everything he owns unless he sells it between now and then @Rich - Shuker 5-string, OLP/Jaydee fretless 'Ray, Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2, Barefaced Super 12T cab. @Frank Blank - Short scale @Jabba_the_gut fretted and fretless basses, QSC K12.2, Grace Design Alix. Keep it going folks

☝☝☝ this exactly. It's a difficult to define effect but I have set mine in exactly the way described above and everything just sounds tighter, as if the speaker is working more efficiently, which of course it is.

Frank Blank & The Bandying Semantics. Hmmmm, anyone play fiddle?

Yes, this is very true EZ old man, but the thread also serves another invaluable purpose in that it gently, yet succinctly, unearths tossers. In a tosser-free forum this thread would have occurred once and lasted a page at most with everyone quickly and reasonably agreeing that wood does (or maybe doesn't) affect tone to a lesser (or indeed greater) degree and, as its huge (or possibly infinitesimal) influence on tone is neither quantifiable nor, much more importantly, adjustable, and we'd all have scratched our heads, thoughtfully stroked our chins and retired affably to the pub. Unfortunately, thirty pages in, we haven't got anywhere nearer an answer and that's simply because there isn't a definitive one, which is why people get so hot under the collar. Without @Muzz's spot on appeal for empirical evidence, of which there is none, that vacuum is filled with speculation and opinion, both of which are fine, as long as we realise that's what they are, speculation and opinions, neither of which, in my humble opinion, are hills worth dying on.

Eleventy better.

Personally, although pleased as punch with the election result, I'd still take a short trip back in a time machine and this time round vote @Muzz for PM.

Gutted, they'd love you to do it too!

Bassist wanted for Creedence Clearwater Revival Covers/Tribute band based in Southend/Essex. Please PM me and I will pass your details on to the band leader. Rehearsals booked, rest of band ready to go.

☝☝☝ This.

Just watched This Is The Kit on catch up, excellent. The bass player, Rozi Plain, with a lovely WEM bass.
