Excellent!

Maybe they checked if it wasn't pure gold or if there was something illegal hidden underneath and put them back in a hurry? 🤔🤦🏻🥱😂

Yep.

I think the OP got there, because the owner pretends they are the biggest Custom Shop in Europe. Strangely, their non Custom Shop models are pristine, I had a few, and there's nothing to complain about... Go figure.

Peace may help in public.

Because the word status belongs to the 4th declension, but also because oral language came first so grammar is linked to it, and the rules derive from the oral language to integrate the written language to "lock" it. In fact, the genitive form is statūs, which is different in pronunciation of status, so again a strong link to the oral language. I didn't create the Latin grammar, so it's the only explanation you'll get (from me), furthermore like in any language, there are exceptions...

And, by the way...

Because of its genitive form.

Hélas, they are both dead now, but I still can prosecute their children ... isn't it.

Makes me want to go back to Latin now... 🤔🤦🏻😂

And even if you were using the word status instead of the name, it belongs to the fourth declension, so nominative plural is still status and statii still doesn't exist in this declension. 😉

It's ... Aaargh.

You got it.

In fact, it would be better and more accurate so, as Colchester must be declined in the genitive and factum rejected at the end: Status : Camuloduni factum. Latin and Greek classical studies leave deep scars...

Couldn't resist...

Funnily, in Latin, the plural form of status is still ... status, in the nominative form and it can never become statii, which doesn't exist. But what do they know, indeed. 🤔🤪

Buy the Auralex real deal or even the Harley Benton copy @Kev, it won't flex at all as the upper part is a thick ... wooden panel, so you'll be able to use the mandatory feet of your combo to also avoid some wobbling in the bass region as a passive radiator is a speaker without its magnet, which is acoustically coupled to the "real" speaker to enhance its response (often in the low end). And send back that piece of shīt you bought from Amazon. The Harley Benton sound isolation/decoupling riser is even cheaper than the thing you bought from Amazon: https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_amp_iso_1.htm

That's why I decided to stop playing bass, I can't play this well ... slightly out of tune. Congratulations Chris. I'll take the Kawasaki H2, good Sir, should you also provide some horses to your servant.

For physical albums, did you try Discogs as both bands albums are available there: https://www.discogs.com/fr/master/221924-Zones-Under-Influence https://www.discogs.com/fr/master/181433-Screams-Screams

Casio GP-510BP (Bechstein grand piano keyboard with sampling of a Bechstein, Steinway and Bösendorfer) as "acoustic piano" as I can't stand out of tune instruments and Home Studio gear with Studiologic SL88 GT Mk2 MIDI controller coupled to Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Grand Pianos Full Edition bundle (Bösendorfer Concert Grand 290 Imperial, Fazioli F308, Steinway D-274 Hamburg and Yamaha CFX) and VI Labs Modern D (Steinway D), Modern U (Yamaha U3) and Ravenscroft 275.

Not sure, even if my ads are saying the opposite... Time will tell. 😉

Because it also helps the wound to cure a bit, and because there could also be some for sale ads that will so have an instant answer and not letting people in the wild for my act. That said, as some mentioned, the left hand plays the bass part on piano, so all I acquired is useful as well as tempo and sight reading. Anyway thanks for all the comments and they all are positive to me.

At the moment, I've decided to keep my Leduc basses (2 of them where custom orders) and the Le Fay Remington Steele, so that means that only the BassLab L-Bow V and the Shuker necked fretless Jazz Bass will go alongside an EBS-1 V2 preamp and loads of accessories (I need to check again).

I will Bert.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. That said, I'll come here on a daily basis as there is no PianoChat.co.uk ... yet, and I really like this community too.
