    So, what were you doing 30 years ago?

    I was in the army. At the end of 1991 I bought a cassette of nevermind and went on playing it and blasting to everybody how good this new band was. They all were like this is crap, put ccr back on. By the spring 1992 everybody listened to nirvana

    J basses that are fully functional BOTH as passive as active AND passive

    Mayones jabba classic. I was looking for a jazz bass, preferably fender, but then this mayones popped up on a Website. I traded my old bass for it, and didn't regret. I like playing passive, so I actually didn't want active, but since it is there, it really is a nice feature for occasional...

    What bass(es) do you think you SHOULD like, but just couldn't connect with?

    Alembic essence. When I was still living with my folks and had well-paying job, I had a lot of money to spend on instruments. So I went and ordered an Alembic. Back in 90's they were not available in shops in Finland. When I finally got it, it was hard to admit for myself, that I just don't like...
