The Who is an established brand. A brand can slip in quality, and people will still buy it. cf Chipotle.

To you.
And to myself and others as well.
That does not make any of us right or wrong - just of a differing opinion than yours, and everyone has a right to their own opinion.
After all, its not like we're bassists sharing the bill with the Who & slamming Pino and his work - we're all just music aficionados with different views.
...and a hush falls over the crowd![]()
Well all I can say is you should be so lucky if your band sounds anywhere even close to this good, whether you're in your 70's or your 20's:

Don't mistake the "hush" for anything more than it is; the last gasp of a dying thread....and a hush falls over the crowd![]()
Has it ever occurred to anyone that the reason Pino got offered the gig in the first place is that he is such a pro and he and Pete forged a great connection during the White City sessions?
My wife drags me to a ton of concerts and the sound, especially when it comes to the bass, so hit or miss. I saw both Sabbath and The Who at The Garden this week and the difference in sound quality between the two bands could not have been more dramatic. I really wasn't expecting much from Sabbath, I just assumed the tour was one last cash grab, but I'd put it in one of the top 3 best sounding shows I've ever heard. The Who sounded pretty much like how I expected Sabbath to sound. It's all up to the sound guy.

Am I not allowed to state my opinions and believe in them?Jimmy, I like you.
Your vast knowledge of Ampeg and Fender products, your playing & gear advice and your (usually) irreverent sense of humor have been a great TB asset to many of us over the years, but the only "schooling" you are doing in this thread is to show everyone your lack of tolerance regarding opinions that differ from yours.
Let it go...
Please do keep the thread going. I feel a little bit more intelligent after every comment of yours that I read.Am I not allowed to state my opinions and believe in them?
