While an interesting point, you're comparing apples and oranges when it comes to 5 string DB's and 5 string slabs. While some 5 string DB players use a low B, many also go for the high C as well. |

Well "Otto" is a 150 year old German butler that sings a beautiful bass note, so with a new neck the value will go back up and it sounds fantastic... |

I'm sure they are great and I've heard some good stuff on recordings but, at least in jazz, they are hardly essential. |

But I think it's a laugh that somebody who joined today is calling somebody with over 9 years on the board and over 30k posts - a young apprentice....bizarre!

I thought in cyberspace we were age less. And it was just a Star Wars quote. But I'm not a MB virgin.... I have posted on many sites and many different subject. I just joined this site since I've been bass owning, (I say bass owning, 'cause I wouldn't be arrogant enough to say I was a player), since I was 16, and it amused me that I wasn't a poster on any bass site!
No offence intended, to any one |

Serious is street children being culled in Brazil at night, or women being abused in dark corners of the world, the environmental disaster coming.
Music is fun Beautiful even edifying, but not serious! |
