The power of bass chat

[Dropzone]

Just been looking at some speakers on ebay, turns out the seller is a fellow bass chatter. I think we have agreed a sale, but in our chatting about all things bass, he may have given me some GAS!!!!! Aaaargh, don't tell the Mrs. ;-)

Tell me about it.
I'm desperately trying to unsee that Markbass TTE501 that went up this morning

That's a fact.

So long as they are black and carpeted, what woman would know if your bass rig changed?

Ahem!

https://www.facebook.com/lee.caveberry this old pal of mine might, I suppose. Her "big rig" is a recently-acquired Little Mark III with a 15" cab. Mind you, it IS yellow in parts......

Had a great chat and may need to review the Marcus Miller bass range ;-)

Rather a sexist comment.

i don't think there is anything sexist about a woman having a big bass rig. It would be sexist to say women should not have bass rigs at all.

What, that women should be black and carpeted? There's laws about that sort of thing, you know!

"How do you like your bass rigs?"

"Like my women, black and carpeted"

-to paraphrase an Airplane the Movie gag.

Here we go again with the sexist assumptions...
I'm still of the opinion that a bassist whose other half is constantly complaining about instruments and gear around the house has hooked up with the wrong partner. (Yes that sentence is carefully non-gendered because it really doesn't matter which half of the couple does the complaining.)

Totally correct However if you get a fail on this, you can with time wear the resistance and complaints down. YMMV

That is not backline. It is in fact the latest on stage monitoring system. It allows you and your fellow band members to simultaneously hear and perceive the 'heft' of the bass sound. Backline, no, not at all, wherever did that idea come from.
