Nice catch; it's a misquotation of the Tao Te Ching :cool:

Original (translated):
"The thirty spokes unite in the one nave; but it is on the empty
space (for the axle), that the use of the wheel depends. Clay is
fashioned into vessels; but it is on their empty hollowness, that
their use depends. The door and windows are cut out (from the walls)
to form an apartment; but it is on the empty space (within), that its
use depends. Therefore, what has a (positive) existence serves for
profitable adaptation, and what has not that for (actual) usefulness."

That is why it is an illusion, try getting anything done...

and sadly, no... I had to trim down my gear to just the essentials.

I miss it though..:bawl: someday soon, I'll have another. MAN, I really miss the tonal varieties that bass was capable of, and it was passive to boot...:bawl:
