Basschat's Law

Recommended Posts

Any damage to an instrument must always be referred to as 'battle scars' and an instrument is often described as a good one to have 'in your arsenal ' despite my belief that few basses ever actually take part in wars.

Unless of course the damage is genuinely caused by shrapnel, in which case I apologise.

What is heft, though? Depth? Oomph? Weightiness of sound?

My favorite description of heft is Discreet 's from a previous thread:

"It's like having a very large, heavy, sinister rubber ball bouncing on the stage behind you in time to the music. That's heft."

Sounds a bit like Rover out of the Prisoner! :-0

But thank you both for that. I had no idea what heft was.
