Basschat's Law

[Twincam]

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.

[Funky Dunky]

What is heft, though? Depth? Oomph? Weightiness of sound?

[MacDaddy]

Heft? Is it any good for metal?

[FinnDave]

heft is what's left when someone nicks your tea.

Very good.

[SubsonicSimpleton]

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?

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.

Ha ha my mate's wife once stabbed his Musicman bass with a kitchen knife repeatedly during a domestic once. So maybe he's got a point!

My favorite description of heft is Discreet 's from a previous thread:

"It's like having a very large, heavy, sinister rubber ball bouncing on the stage behind you in time to the music. That's heft."

Is that a witty way of saying that there can be no heft without headroom?

Sounds a bit like Rover out of the Prisoner! :-0

But thank you both for that. I had no idea what heft was.

[skychaserhigh]

How much does heft weigh...

[paul_5]

I thought it was something that was mathematically quantifiable:

Period of Bass Ownership is inversely proportional to Cost of Bass, or something similar.
