Um, Fender, because out of all the many, many basses I tried, they were ergonomically the most comfortable for me. Though I admit I only tried basses within a certain price range so I wouldn't end up loving one I couldn't afford.

This is hard to word, so just take it as it's meant - are you willing to pay for a very high priced bass or do you prefer to keep your bass purchases under a certain dollar amount?

[DEL]I've only ever had two bass manufacturers so I've a limited viewpoint. However, that said, I really REALLY like the necks on the two Peavey's I've owned and especially the Aria Pro I owned. I'm in love with the sound of my new ( and only ) bass right now. A Peavey Forum I purchased from ScreamingLucy a few weeks ago. It's a P J bass but I play it in 90% P with a dash of J and the tone dropped by about 75%. Sad to say but I have far more experience with guitar manufacturers. [/DEL]

1/2 cup of coffee isn't enough to post fast :D

For me, it's about sound and feel. If I can get that sound and feel I want at a lower price, I'm there. I think that the way people think about instruments has changed SO much from back in the day. Japan is now, rightfully so, seen as a premier maker of instruments, besting much higher profile manufacturers with quality of sound and manufacture. The 70's - 80's really drove that message home.


Have you considered changing career paths to follow ( or continue ) your dream job?

Well, right now I'm a CNC machine operator, and I'm making good money for a 19 year old with only his high school diploma. My dream job is to be a police officer, and it's what I'm working towards right now. So...Yes. Meanwhile, I need to find a backup career. I'm leaning towards OH&S. If I go that route, it'll be the big test. Do I sacrifice an 80,000$ - 100,000$ a year career for a 55,000$ career (the first three years)? We'll see.

Onions or shallots?

Ingredients

* 6 cups water
* 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
* 4 large artichokes (about 1 pound each)
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/4 cup sliced shallots
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 cups dry white wine
* 1 tablespoon capers
* 1 (16-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
* 1 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

* Combine water and 2 tablespoons juice. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, cut off stem to within 1 inch of base; peel stem. Remove bottom leaves and tough outer leaves, leaving the tender heart and bottom. Remove fuzzy thistle from bottom with a spoon; discard. Cut artichoke into quarters lengthwise. Place artichoke quarters in lemon water. Repeat procedure with remaining artichokes. Drain.
* Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 2 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add artichoke quarters. Reduce heat; cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice, wine, capers, and broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in parsley.

( this was online, but I've made it and it's full of win! I love capers too .. Put it over pounded panko and parmigiana cheese crusted chicken breast for beyond yum)

Ok, who's cookin' what tonight!??

Make that Lake Erie Sea-Pickerel and we'll let it count. :-)

Running through the creek playing war with my brother and his friends. And I had the best cap gun of the group.

Favorite sport or game while you were growing up?

Dang, musta missed a refresh.

Anyway - for Artichoke recipe - It's hard to beat that.
But I can. The artichoke soup from Shadowbrook restaurant in Santa Cruz.
Second recipe on the page.

Fav childhood sport - Frisbee.

Do you have a favorite scale or mode - one that really feels expressive to you?

In the mass excitement about artichokes, we seem to have lost the continuity of the thread. So, in a feeble attempt to restore order, I submit:

Eb major scale. It's the key I have my harp tuned to, and in addition to the fact that it gives me the greatest options for other keys, it just has a mellow and pleasing sound.

Champ, could you please share a vegetarian a recipe?

While we wait, what type of pizza crust do you prefer?
