Twincam Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 The longer a Thread/Discussion goes on for the probability of someone mentioning Heft increases. Unless it's an discussion about heft originally thus doubling the probability of someone mentioning Trace Elliot or Valve watts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubsonicSimpleton Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 So it's not buy a new bass/amp/cab, proclaim it to be the best thing since sliced bread and then post it for sale in the classifieds two weeks later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbiscuits Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Any damage to an instrument must always be referred to as 'battle scars' and an instrument is often described as a good one to have 'in your arsenal ' despite my belief that few basses ever actually take part in wars. Unless of course the damage is genuinely caused by shrapnel, in which case I apologise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I thought it was something that was mathematically quantifiable: Period of Bass Ownership is inversely proportional to Cost of Bass, or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
