When walking in jazz, going to the low B is crazy.
also, I quite enjoy having 4 1/2 octaves on my bass. |

The feeling when your locked in and in the zone with your drummer and the rest of the band - all the hair is standing up on your body, the place is bouncing and you glance down at your hands and the music is playing you!!!!!

Being able to zone out, screw up, and not get noticed...
