Why We (ok most) Like Old Basses, and Why We Can Tell the Difference Between Two Basses.

I subriscribe to this guy since he did the video on how music is finite.

Some excellent stuff on his channel so if you aren't subscribed you should.
This was uploaded today and I just got through it, some stuff he mentioned were particularly poignant with us in the bass world.
Once you get to "Auras" it explains the fascination with old basses or indeed custom builds. Then the cross-race effect explains why we can tell the difference between an active jazz and a passive P but Joe public can barely tell it's even bass guitar.

There is even a nice take on forgeries. Particularly applicable at the minute with regards to Rics and their copies.

I liked that. It wasn't especially revelatory but it was at least well presented and not as patronising and infuriatingly slowly dictated as, for example, a BBC science programme.
