Think of the question i wrote.....think of that you can't answer the question ?! Like it or not - it's your problem, because this is bass chat, not the chat about - did your mom brought you up right or wrong ! 😉
My odd questions......nice, thank you. Seems like your only preffered superb threads are DOI. Why i don't post my own opinion - because i don't have one and just want to get it from others.
