He sure loves compression.

As I said, lots of popular TV series sound tracks include older music. My point was that young people are exposed to a fair share of older music. And yes, I don't think the fact that the TV series was set in the 80's have much significant to young people liking the song, that is is a very popular TV series I think it is safe to say has though, or at least explains how they got exposed to it, and why it could become a hit. There's a reason why it was that song and not any other used in the same show, and it is not that it is from the 80's, as most of the other songs used in that series is as well. But who knows...

Jazz is a very broad genre. As broad as rock, if not even more so. There are a lot of jazz outside of traditional jazz, just like there is a lot of rock outside of traditional classic rock.

Top 40 sure, mainly, but not entirely. Outside of that, alternative/indie scene/labels, lots of groups/bands. Including some relatively successful and popular, if not exactly Top 40, ones. But you are right, definitely fewer commercial groups/bands and more solo artists (and duos for that matter to a certain extend as well), than in the previous decades.

I was not really commenting on whether young people watch TV or not, which I honestly can't really see why is even relevant in this discussion, but whether they get exposed to other than contemporary music. Some computer games use older music as well. Also when measuring popularity such things as streaming music, from for example YouTube or Spotify, is usually included (unless of course it is sales charges in specific, but here sales of MP3s from for example iTunes or Amazon is included as well).

Yes, and much more than 10 years too. A lot of the popular series on various popular streaming services utilize older music. That is how Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" from 1985 became a huge hit quite recently. And yes, among young people.

No it won't. Your logic is flawed. Think again!

No, but I did compare myself to Buddha : Kind of...

You have neither proved worthy nor ready to get part in my vast knowledge. But begging, instead of threatening, might be a good start on the way to have part in it and achieve absolute enlightenment! On a more serious note I am not looking for a fight, so I politely decline your challenge. Better?

The depth of the nut slots only matters for the open strings, as soon as you fret the strings the nut becomes redundant. If this wasn't true basses that utilizes a 0 fret would buzz all over, which isn't actually the case. Are you talking about the open D and G string buzzing? If this is the case it is perfectly possible that the nut slots has been worn slightly too low over time. As suggested by others though it could also be a sign that the neck has warped/twisted. But if this was the case this would be likely also to affect the fretted notes and not just the open strings.

Maybe i should have formulated myself differently and said "P Basses are more popular than ever at the moment" (or at least more popular currently than they have been since the 60's/70's, where they were arguably even more popular).

Impressive set of teeth you got... You might want to see a doctor about that. Witch doctor that is... Looks more like a curse of some kind, and a serious one at that, than a regular medical condition.

Nice Kazoo!

Yeah, injured his shoulder really badly, when he instinctively tried to catch his falling old original Ampeg VST head at a gig, which left him invalid for a while, and ultimately caused him becoming addicted to painkillers, an addiction he later got out of, and unable to gig on a more serious level again, why he started painting instead as a creative outlet. Moral: If your just about 1 Ton heavy old tube head falls from the top of an 8x10 "fridge" cabinet don't try to catch it, least of all in one arm.

Doesn't it seem strange they are not showing in the reflection of the chrome? Who took the pictures then? They did obviously, but also it is quite obvious that they are in fact vampires, trying to lure in victims to bloodlet. On a more serious note, that looks an awful lot like artificial relicing there, it doesn't match with the condition of the rest of the bass and finish. In other words, it's a scam!

I just recently bought an EHX English Muff'n, already owning the Black Finger (and previously owned, but being stupid enough to sell, the LPB 2ube, 2 channel/stereo tube preamp, where you could bridge the 2 channels and use it as tube overdrive as well), tube driven optical compressor (though I use my Black Finger with the compression dialed very low, basically never kicking in, more so as tube preamp stage, dialed in with the input gain driving the tubes to just on the verge of breakup, as an essential part of my always on basic "clean" tone), in the same series of big 2x tubes pedals. And I am truly impressed with the English Muff'n, this pedal is an astonishing sounding overdrive (despite the Muff moniker it is actually a Marshall-esque voiced tube preamp/overdrive). Unfortunately though it is quite noisy when engaged. However I just swapped the 2 stock EHX 12AY7EH tubes with 2 EHX 12AX7EH tubes, and beside the pedal obviously not being capable of quite as low gain overdrive settings but on the other hand also being capable of higher gain overdrive/distortion as/than before, it is actually also a whole lot quieter (as in much less noisy) dialed in to deliver about the same amount of gain (9 o'clock Vs. before maxed gain knob) as before the tube swap (relative high gain overdrive (but not distortion), and not any more noisy than your average drive pedal), but also the drive it delivers is considerably tighter sounding, which I prefer. So unless you need just breaking up/light tube breakup sounds and prefers a warmer more mellow tone (still plenty of warmth though, just with a slightly more growly character) I can warmly recommend swapping the 2 stock EHX 12AY7EH tubes with higher gain EHX 12AX7EH tubes (or whichever brand 12AX7 tubes you prefer). Perfect for classic traditional stoner and doom rock. In any case I can confirm that tube swap seems to make a substantial difference to this pedal. This is how the pedal looks (not my specific unit, just a random Google photo of it): It has now become my main pre-reverb overdrive pedal in my setup. Here is a pretty great YouTube demo of it, used on bass: I am interested in hearing from other people having owned, or currently owning, and eventual actively using, this pedal, or other from the same series of big 2 x tubes EHX pedals, and their experience with them.

AI is painfully stupid. If you ever read any AI generated text you would agree. Also I am inclined to believe that it is just a lazy seller, rather than a scammer, but I guess there is really no way to be 100% sure of this, other than actually buying and hoping it is not a scam, and that way getting either confirmed.

And what exactly is your actual point with this, in relation to what is actually discussed? :

So the sound we get doesn't actually reflects (reflects, as in resembles, not the physical phenomena reflection) how the strings vibrate at all?

But the pickups do pick up the vibrations of the strings, right? That is how we get sound.
