    Thoughts on Eastwood instruments?

    I've been tempted by the MRG Bass for a while. I just need an excuse to buy one.

    Google AI just plain wrong...

    AI seems to be programmed with built-in Dunning Kruger. The more wrong it is, the more confidently it presents its "facts".

    Uber Eats class action lawsuit alleges their priority delivery is a scam

    We live in a rural area and for years the only delivery available was the Dominos pizza place in a nearby town (yeah, I know, not great). There was no added fee for this, only the tip to the driver. Now we can order from dozens of places much farther away with Door Dash or whatever. We get take...

    How far is too far, how long is too long?

    An hour drive gets me the local Dayton Metro as well as most of the Columbus Metro, a goodly part of the Cincinnati Metro and dozens of small towns in between. I have no need or desire to drive farther than that no matter how much it pays.

    Would you play gigs with a band that doesn't have a great PA?

    This is the thing. It's not like they are young guys in a startup and can't afford a decent PA or don't have experience in live sound. They just aren't interested in doing it better. Good luck trying to overcome that inertia.

    What Frequency Response is Actually Needed for Low Tuning?

    The marvel of the human auditory system is that it can take the harmonics and make us perceive the fundamental when it isn't physically there. Having a bit of the fundamental present helps, of course.
