Indeed. Nothing like a band where everybody plays bass.

Sometimes. Not a lot! I do more classic rock with the two bands I'm in and the occasional metal tune because ... hey, I like it. I mostly slap bass when I'm playing Steely Dan tunes, which is weird I know, especially when you learn that Don Fagan didn't want slap bass on his songs, but the...

I've been playing through a 500W Little Mark III bass amp for the past 11 years, and I have a Mark Bass F1 Limited 500W amp as backup. I own two cabinets, one 8 ohm 400W 2x10 cab and one 4 ohm 2x10 cab, which has allowed me to leave my gear at the rehearsal space and practice or gig with the...

We made 48 cans for ourselves. K eats tomatoes with just salt and pepper. We still couldn't give enough away. I'd estimate we got two full bushels.

Two of our three house gardens. This year I'm planning to expand considerably. The garden not picture generates so many tomatoes that we can't can enough, eat enough and give away enough, we still had to compost some. These two generated some hot peppers and a watermelon that was not tasty...

I'm aware. It's cooked for a decade or so now and it's really at the point where there likely isn't much that I have that is of concern.

I refuse to go beyond W10 hacked beyond belief to remove all the "spyware" features. And I only have that until I'm either done with some old strategy games, or they work flawlessly on Linux. Then I'm gone forever.

The Super Duke as well. I am with CAA. Wawanesa also dropped my 911 Turbo S because "it makes too much power." Which makes no sense, since they'll insure a Tesla Plaid, and the speed limit applies to all vehicles; the 911 has some of the most ferocious brakes you'll ever experience.

The 999cc version (2016). Yeah, the 1100 engine is too "big," never mind that the 999cc version makes 201hp according to the factory.

Wawanesa doesn't want my KTM. The engine is too big. They were fine with the RSV4 that makes another 25hp and goes an indicated 330kph. Make it make sense.

*checks stocks again* Yeah, my salary this year is pretty good. It's half what I made on my investments over 12 months. :o

Listening to the Rev rock. Re: Steely Dan - my favorite music to just jam to.

That museum is one hell of a legacy for the guy. RIP

I have two, but one is 8ohm, the other is 4ohm. My mistake, when I bought the second one, I thought they were the same cab - and they are except for the pesky 4 and 8 at the end of the model number. Ugh. Mark Bass no longer makes the 4ohm cab, oddly. Then you run into physics. If you have...

"Father of Tumbler Ridge shooter releases statement, addresses 'unforgivable act of violence'. He said the shooter's mother did not allow him to be involved in raising their child from the beginning." The AWFULs strike again. This is a serious problem in today's society. And they vote.

It's the only mental malady that I know of which we're told must be treated by affirming the disorder (and pretending to live within their fantasy). Until it doesn't, because someone doesn't treat her that way. My lived experience is that at that point, they lose their #$&@. Your 'cool kid'...

My buddy plays bars with two of those. He's about 5 years older than me. I get to play through the setup from time to time. It sounds amazing, of course. Not worth it for me, I'm home, plenty tired at 3:30am from my main gig venue as it is. We play with a real Hammond B with a Leslie. The...

I'm definitely going to continue to use in-ears at the louder venues and those with good enough house boards. A thing I've run into with those is that unless we bring our own mixing board, many of the smaller venues (and a few larger ones) just can't properly do in-ears. If I have the whole...

I'm waiting for the store sale on the 20th, because there's a Traynor 600W 4ohm cabinet with two 10s, one 15 and a horn that will be on sale for $800. It's got my name all over it (but they're not taking pre-buys). I'll be there when the door opens, that's my ideal gigging setup ... lots of...

Oddly, Long & McQuade in Kingston is doing well. I'm probably keeping them in business at this point, LOL Not really, I'm not a gear / pedal fanatic, I just buy the better quality amps & guitars sporadically. I'm seriously contemplating a trip this weekend to the nearest Steve's.
