I am no longer allowed to comment on this subject. I have been warned so that is good enough for me. You win.

But all you are stating is hearsay and anecdotal evidence. You could get all of those people in one room and they could swear before God that what they say is true but that will never be enough unless they do it the way the government wants it done. That would be long term legitimate studies...

Explain why you would be skeptical of a study that says that when you actually have no studies that actually say that MJ does not have a addiction potential. You would have to put both of those research papers before a peer review before anybody could really dispute the facts on either side...

Yeah I guess so but so is non-annotated undocumented info on the pro-mj side. We are still standing in the same spot. Maybe even quasi-legalization will lead to more verifiable, peer reviewed data and we can make a more solid determination on that. Agreed?

Not even an attempt? I am glad you admitted that you "would not know where to start". This is quickly becoming a personal battle between you and I. Interesting. Give me one misstatement in that post. Will that make it easier?

To Mr. TYBO, If I told you I had read a study that just "suggested" that a withdrawal syndrome for MJ had been demonstrated would you believe me? Actually the withdrawal symptoms from say hydrocodone (as an example) is not overwhelmingly noticeable. A bit of nausea and a malaise for a day or...

Sorry Jimmy that was about 1969 or so in Hawaii. It was whatever was at the party so no name. Ha-ha....

You know just when I am ready to put the fire out you start fanning the flames. Prove to me specifically where I am wrong in my last post. Can you?!

You see, buddy, you seem not to be able to make your arguments without being personal. Don't you dare attack my credibility! What do you do for a living? Mow lawns in your marijuana induced stupor? But then you might be a brain surgeon or airline pilot and that is scary. Just as an add on. Both...

Reading your words makes me think of an old biblical admonition: "Do not cast pearls before swine". In today's parlance that means you can't reason with stupid so why try. Anyway, I concede the argument because there is nothing I can do about it anyway. And "Dude your harshing my mellow"...

OK we have to come to some agreement about what the word "impairment" means. If you use most any states description of an impaired driver on alcohol it is 0.08 correct? Whether you can function as the driver of a car at that level would depend on a lot of things including BMR and how tolerant...

OK Jimmy, Correct you didn't call me any names. Others did so that was just to level the playing field. Re: which article do I want? I already outlined those parameters. None of the articles I read fell within those parameters. Hence useless info on either side of the issue. Find me some...

OK Jimmy, let's roll. Ground rules: 1. you don't call me names and I won't call you names. In other words civilized. Capice? 2. As I concede that you know way more than I do about tube-driven amps you must give me credit for having a degree in Pharmacy and 35 years...

No Jimmy I am not a cop. I am a retired pharmacist. You are making the same mistake about the word "impaired" as the other guy did. A general term meaning incapable of performing certain tasks because of outside interference. Like drugs. Yes I know the difference between stimulants and...

Your logic is convoluted. There is plenty of evidence coming forward about even an addiction potential for weed. The facts re: toxins is established or else I wouldn't have the info and as far as I know MJ is not grown with the health of the individual in mind. It is well established that...

Ha-ha... Ladies And gentlemen we have , for your pleasure, the Stoned New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

How has it been a "boon"? Do classical players play better stoned therefore stimulating the classical audience to seek out and pay for stoned live classical music? I don't get it. Also to Michedelic: How does being impaired on Marijuana vs alcohol, meth, crack or heroin differ? Impaired is...

Not always but sometimes I think that the words "benefit" and "exposure" come from the same cess pool of words meaning you provide "free"music. A benefit for fallen friends family is good. I won't do any political benefits.

It seems that during these time everything is either racist, sexist or homophobic (fake word). Even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Boring....

If you search about within "Talk Bass" you will find several and at times "heated" discussions about whether any material used to make a body for a solid-body instrument does or does not make much of a difference in tone. The world of hollow-bodied instruments, though, is a completely different...

I have one of those wives also. She is constantly telling me not to cheap myself out. Get a good one "you deserve good equipment". Wonderful...

"Simple minded fools with nothing else to do..." Jimi Hendrix

Status Graphite offers some of the finest basses on the planet. Their necks are THE best. I know from my years as a luthier how good SG's graphite necks are. Better than Zon or Moses and they leave Modulus (which I play) in a very close second position. You can't go wrong with your choice.

+1 for the Kustom KCB500.

You need to watch the episode with Train and DH's band doing "I can't Go For That". The band is supreme and even the old Hall & Oats hits sound fresh and contemporary. DH's voice is incomparable. Also with Mayer Hawthorne. T-Bone's death was an incredible loss to the world of music. One of my...

I hope you find it. I wish I could get the Modulus q6 back that I traded for a Warrior 5 about 10-11 years ago. Wouldn't know where to start. Good luck brother!

To the OP: You are about to bring up the old and contentious battle over whether or not the body of a solid-body bass has anything to do with the inherent tone of the instrument. This has been debated over and over since the beginning of this forum.

Ho-hummmmm

The difference is where it's made. Pick up a EBMM classic and you instantly understand American made quality.

I understand that and we should always be wary of those types of situations. Same goes with the rest of life. You know as well as I do that the "local music scene" (regardless of a city's size) is always small and word travels fast. It is better to be held out as a good guy and a pro than a jerk...

Well those are all ifs, right, brother? And that's life. It is all a gamble but at least he would have taken the high road. That is the difference between him and them.

...while smoking GANJA, mon!

...involving Roses.

The author did. I think "Cultivated Mellow" is a great band name by the way. LOL...

To the OP: I am with you that that was a classless action on the BL's part. Unacceptable and unprofessional. But I have to differ with your response. NEVER burn your bridges, the local scene is too small. The best thing to do was thank them for their interest and ask them to please keep you in...

"To be clear, no one is suggesting you date a musician. They keep odd hours, are hard of hearing, and believe that actual income-generating work harshes their carefully cultivated mellow." What a quote!! :-)

I remember seeing both a P-Bass and a J-Bass on the wall at a no-name music store in San Bernardino, CA in about 1967-8 (me 21-22) and that was the beginning. Bought a used pre-CBS P-bass in 1968. On we go...

My 2001 Modulus Q5 with alembic electronics.

Yeah I kinda wrestled with the choice between the TF and the SR although I am happy with my choice. The EMG MMTW does make a big difference. The ability to change from dual coil to single coil is really a benefit. Like from Pino mellow to Jaco bite and growl in a second. At 18 volts there is WAY...
