    How are Pink Floyd considered PROG rock?

    Does that really matter? You could assign as same as The Beatles or The Who and Metallica, all of them could be considered as progressive, will say avantgarde or a never expressed style before.

    2022 kick-off: first bass you played in the new year?

    As I said, the Steinberger L/5 will be the last one i bought; btw what's the actual pricing of the Stings this days, in the '70tis they were pretty expensive with around 2000 CHF, a whole lotta bucks these days.

    2022 kick-off: first bass you played in the new year?

    7 to 8.5 kg, my Steinberger has 3.6 kg; and btw, all MM StingRay i'v tested had a super tone, but a ton in weight; too bad.

    So what basses did you see being played on TV when you were 10 years old?

    There were not much of TVs spread and none of music edited on air*. :rollno: Near my grandma was a TV-Shop on which I hung on for hours, whit no tone of course. *Perhaps some German Schlagers which I hated for their bs lyrics.:vomit:

    Active or passive basses?

    I see/hear no difference, except to turn down the amp-gain level for the actives ... but since I have actives only I don't have to mind about this "problem". Btw, to me tone is in the fingers and neither in instruments or amps.

    5 string basses should be 35” scale

    Plenty of 5er have weak B-String tone; the question is not about scale but rather on the density of woods. I own a '93 Streamer 5 with maple body, ovangkol neck/wenge fb and this guy is thunder pure; a 34" btw. Otherwise I went to Steinberger but that's another league ...

    Like hack: the correct number of basses to own!

    A '83 Berger 5, a '93 Warwick 5 & a newer Preci 4; when I die i'll take them to heaven ...btw, 3 is reasonable.

    Suggestions for improving the look of my bass?

    Best color is when you wear it down by playing.
