    You shouldn't have done that. The world will end next week because you did. It's been nice knowing you all.

    It was full up in the voice of God setting , I set it back to the voice of a lesser and slighty fatter God setting

    Ok voilà:

    The universe was formed about 14-billion years ago. The Earth is about 4.6-billion years old. Life first emerged about 3.8-billion years ago. Our journey begins in South Africa, where fossils of some of the earliest known life forms on Earth have been found.

    For my first 10 years of precisioning I had the tone all the way up. I didn't notice that I had bumped it but all of the sudden I found that I punched through a little better. Now I'm a tone knob junkie and ride it constantly.

    I'll avoid getting suspended from a crass joke about creationism, and post this instead:

    See, I'm on the other end. I've just discovered you can turn it UP, out of the mud-thump territory. :thumbsup:

    Oh, you shouldn't have done that. The end will come next Tuesday instead of Friday. You only have the weekend to run up a huge bill that you won't have to pay back.

    You’re good, as long as you are turning it clockwise.

  18. Actually he really shouldn't have done that because next week he will want even more different tone selections to work with and then end up having to buy a Jazz bass.
