[quote name='njbillbass' timestamp='1486414889' post='3231638'] I'm not a salsa player...I'm not sure why the baby bass gets pigeon-holed for that type of music, but I use it on all kinds of material. [/quote] The original Ampeg Baby Bass caught on in the Caribbean and Central America with salsa players and established itself as a must-have instrument. I don't know the sales figures, but it wouldn't surprise me to find that Ampeg sold more of these in the Caribbean than in all of the USA. It's also noticeable that the Baby Bass 'clone' industry seems to be centred in South America. Kris Kedzior got the idea of making high-quality copies like his after marrying a South American lady and being exposed to a variety of poor-quality copies.

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1490910801' post='3269078'] I don't need a motorbike. My other hobby is driving trains for a heritage railway. 266 Litre diesel engine this weekend [/quote] Yes, but does it have 'heft'? Are diesel litres the same as valve litres?

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1490893272' post='3268910'] 76. I mucked out three stables this morning while the Mrs swanned round the lanes with a friend. Then I got the harrows out and put everything together and in the meantime mowed two lawns. Then before supper went round half the paddocks (8 acres) with the harrows. Gig tomorrow evening so I'll take it a bit easy. But don't let the above fool you, I'm really feeling old these days. [/quote] If you're doing 8 acres with the harrows at 76, it may be time you treated yourself to a tractor or something.
