    Linking a Rumble 100 with a Rumble 500

    "Linking" 2 combos together is not recommended. Not sure it's even possible or safe for the amps. Just use the 500 for bigger gigs and the 100 for smaller gigs and practice. Eh?

    Western swing music

    If you can walk jazz, you can walk western swing. I suggest any walking bass course or book. The Ray Brown book is pretty good, as is the Mike Richmond book "Modern Walking Bass Technique."

    The Real Book: Bass Clef - which edition?

    Get the regular concert C treble clef version. You're probably not going to want to learn melodies in bass clef and you really just need the chords for bass lines and comping, and chords don't care about clef. 6th Edition is great, and legal. If you really want a 5th edition, there's PDFs on...

    How come you guys never told me about Quincy Jones?

    Chris White, who was the bassist on "Soul Bossa Nova" and the album it's on, Big Band Bossa Nova, was my instructor for one year back in the '90s.

    Anybody have a backup plan?

    True. Technology works on its terms, not ours. Not always a good thing!

    Where do you keep your Sweetwater ProGear catalog?

    I keep mine in the loo. Where's yours? Edit: Yeah, everything's online now. But that ProGear catalog is like the ole Sears Wishbook, innit? Digital? Just vote "Other." I get all kindsa things digital only. But I loves me that ProGear catalog.

    How to talk to BL about posting their views on social media?

    Suggest to BL to adjust their FB privacy settings so that strangers (non-friends, i.e., venues, fans, etc.) cannot see their posts.
