Good morning, @Inara, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. (...but you knew that anyway, didn't you..? )

It ain't over until the Fat Lady sings ... Yes, the track can be updated, removed, improved, massacred as much as one likes until the voting begins, when things get set in stone. Soundcloud doesn't allow the free account to be renewed, so the original has to be deleted and a new one uploaded. With a 'Pro' account, one has the option of simply replacing the original file with a later version. S'not cheating; no bagpipes are involved. Hope this helps.

Good evening, Swany, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

No-one likes a clever-clogs. ...

Good evening, TCT, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Mmm... Tea..!

Mmm... Tea..!

OK, duly noted.

Is Mrs Lurks aware of these 'negotiations'..?

A rare master of English from those Audomarois, I'd say.

Respect.

Certainly; glad to help. Criteria is the plural of criterion; a standard or principle for judging, evaluating, or selecting something. Criteria are the ideals or requirements on which a judgment, evaluation, or selection is based. The plural of criterion can also be criterions, but this is rarely used. Criteria are often the particular requirements that someone or something must meet in order to be considered or qualify for something. An applicant for a job may be evaluated based on several criteria, including their education, experience, and references; each one of these standards is a criterion. Your grade in a class may be based on certain criteria, such as your test scores, your grades on homework and other assignments, and your participation in class. Similarly, a gymnast’s score is based on several criteria involving how well they performed certain moves. The word 'criteria' is often used with the word 'meet', as in : Your entry meets all of our criteria for inclusion in the exhibit. Sometimes, people try to use criteria as a singular noun (in similar fashion as 'data' is sometimes used...), but this is generally considered not the right way to use it. Example: We assess the candidates based on several criteria, and one criterion is that they must have at least five years of experience in a similar position. The first records of the words criterion and criteria come from the 1600s. Criterion comes from the Greek kritḗrion, meaning 'a standard', from kritēs, 'judge', from krinein, to decide'. The word 'critic' and related words like 'critical' and 'criticism' are based on the same root. The word 'criteria' is always used in the context of some kind of decision, judgment, or evaluation. But it’s not only used in official or formal situations. For example, when shopping for a new TV, you may have several criteria for selecting one that include things such as how big it is and how much it costs. Hope this helps.

Why the guilt..? What (or who..? ) are you going to bury in the basement..?

Please yourself.

Please keep replies of the sort in the Marketplace, please. ...

Merde.

No trick to it, as long as they're U-Tube 'Share' links ... One piece I've learned (well, after a fashion...) on my own fretless. It's a joy to play, imagining in my tiny head all the other parts. Splendid Stuff; Music of the Gods.

Well, he has higher-flying gigs than I ever did, so... what would I know..? It takes all sorts.

[Mod's hat on] Please refrain from posting ads from other selling sites; they do not reciprocate in posting links to the Basschat Marketplace. Please keep to the narrow spirit of truly 'weird and wonderful' when posting in this topic, not simply any 'interesting' bass for sale. Thanks in advance for your comprehension and cooperation. [/Mod's hat on]

When approaching a venue (pub, festival, whatever...) the first sounds you'll hear are the bass, almost without exception. Being heard is one thing, being overly prominent is quite another. I wouldn't like to assist at a Schubert concert in which the trombones took over the phonic spectrum. They're there, all right, but in their place, as bass.

We play quite a varied repertoire of pop/rock covers; Our Youngest on bass uses the same tone throughout, and it fits well. He adjusts slightly (fingers only, fretless sixer...), but that's all, plugged straight into our Hiwatt 200w valve PA head. Quite different from studio stuff, recording; for 'live' work any attack from a bass is only really present in its immediate vicinity. Once moved to the back of the hall, or off-axis, it's the bass tone that is present. Personally I'm of the opinion that there is much 'precious' about one's tone. Does the drummer tune snare and toms differently for each number..? Not really, although in the studio, it may take a day to decide which snare best fits the role. We all have different ears, tastes and experience, but, to me, bass is bass is bass, really. Disclaimer : I'm a drummer (and no, I don't swap snares between numbers. Drums is drums is drums...)
