Count Bassy

The second part of Robin Trower's "Too Rolling Stoned" . From about 3:00

Sorry, it had to be in 20 words or less.

In my other life I play a concertina. I find I can't wear hearing aids (NHS ones) while playing as they introduce a marked tremelo effect to the sound.

A few years ago everything tstarted appearing with "I" in the name, following the lead of Apple. This has now been replaced/suplimented by "AI". As you say marketing BS.

The last band I left I truthfully said that I just wasn't getting the buzz from rehearsals that I should be getting (it hadn't got to the point of gigging), and it was accepted gracefully. Unfortunately in the next few weeks two other members also quit and I think the whole thing collapsed.

Indeed, why a four string neck?

I actually quite lake the shape of the headstock. But that is about all I do like about it.

What's this "fifth" thing you mention?

Bass players who have way too many effects pedals (i.e. more than zero). It's a bass guitar, no-one except other bass players will even notice. Also goes for guitarists to some extent. Pedal boards that they spend ages fiddling with between songs. Just play the bloody thing.

Possibly, but I suspect that if you told any engineering minded person that you wanted a nut with adjustable string height then 80% would come up with either the two screw tilting nut idea, or the 4/5/6 screw individual string adjustment idea. The rest would probably suggest shims.

IMHO the adjust-a-nut princible is so obvious that you couldn't really say anyone invented it. Lots of people must have thought of it but didn't have the equipment/couldn't be arsed to follow it through. More a case of who decided to actually make and market it first.

It's a bass cab. Doesn't matter what it looks like.

Isn't the clue in the name. i.e "Pirate"?

What ? All of them? It doesn't help your arguement if you just make stuff up and then claim it as a fact. Next thing you'll be saying that everyone eats their neighbour's pets.

I think you have already said it. No need to try and make you.

But in that case almost anything can be called a health issue. e.g. other people, especially other drivers, having to work, not having a job, traffic, the guvment, people complaining about the noise etc. etc.

You first statement is a matter of opinion. I disagree. Your second statement is simply wrong. Noise CAN be a health problem but it all depends on the level. I can't think of any club I've been to where the noise outside is anywhere like a health problem. Possibly annoying to neighbours, but a health problem? No. If you move next to that sort of existing noise source then you should have no right to complain.

It's a case of who was there first. If you build a dwelling next to a noisy venue then that should be your responibility. If a bar/cub opene up next to you then it's their responsibility. It's the "Agent of Change " princible.

Soprano OK then?

Can't fault his enthusiasm though.

Which, let's be honest, is how 99.9 % of the population would view it.

Me too. Working on our house on a genuinely turned off circuit. Touched the earth and neutral together, which tripped the RCD (leaving me in darkness). Shouted down to my daughter to reset it please, and seeing the RCD and this circuits MCB tripped, helpfully reset both for me. In I went with my cutters............ EDITED : Luckily they were properly insulated electricials cutters.

Which Kawai digital was it? My wife (a piano teacher) has a Kawai ES8 (one before the current model) and it sounds and feels great. Note quite like a real one, but very close. (She has a real one (Woodchester) as well)

Indeed, deionised water can be used as an insulator; But, if you were to touch something tht was "Live", would you rather do it with a dry bit of skin, or a wet bit of skin?

Something I read somwhere, a long time ago: Electricity and water don't mix, especially when connected by people!
