I'm struggling a little to imagine it sitting in our church worship band though, so it's not going to be on my purchase list 😇😎 The Macrodose - how is it possible that you liked it? I have it on very good authority that "it's aesthetically marvellous, but sonically plebeian" or as @bassfan succinctly put it: "it looks pretty." I do get the hesitation about using it in the church worship group, though, unless you were playing something covering off Creation or just possibly the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I realised in 2016 that we must be living in a computer simulation when nearby Leicester City won the PL. Leicester City? Really? This clearly must have been a glitch in the matrix 🤪 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s like the Subdecay Prometheus then that’s pretty accurate. Very meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thump Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Well we made it through January with barely a casualty , personally i reckon i can go quite a while without feeling the need to splurge some cash on miscellaneous gubbins. The Mrs offered my next bass for my birthday so i escaped new instrument GAS easily there. Only had to buy a new bridge , tuners , pickup , pots , knobs , strings......

Where is the empirical evidence for this hypothesized relationship? Well, I guess now you know why I wasn't popular in school (or university or work) 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 25 mark essay question in Philosophy And Ethics, not a 2 mark Maths question as we originally assumed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
