so inconsequential…..yank the bassist from any lineup and see if it’s still worth listening to…..
you may say; “all the more reason”….myself, I couldn’t give a toss…

Just check out the bass dude. All kinds of notes going on. Guitarists. One chord.
Tell me again who's important? :smug:

Saw an oddity tonight. A banjo with a guitar neck and strung with 6 strings and guitar tuning. An “Electar” I think.
It was donated to the local Vinnies to sell through their Op Shop. It needs some repairs so I’ll keep an eye out and if it is cheap enough when fixed… or extremely cheap and requiring some work I may pick it up.

IIRC, these are tuned like a guitar and are intended to allow guitarist to easily play banjo. Why you might want to is beyond me, but reasonable people can disagree.

Someone is here most times. Except like the last three weeks or so when the storms were happening. The basses are in their cases when I’m not here and stored in a bedroom closet. The amp head and cab are in their covers. When we’re not here in winter, the heat is set at 50. It rarely gets above 85 in the house during the summer and we have central air that we use if we’re here and it’s hot.

Sounds like everything is well cared for. Can you post a detailed layout of where the basses are and the location of the hidden spare key? ;):laugh:

So the house is always at a good temperature. I asked because my family has a house/cabin in the sierra hills (4200ft) up here, above Sonora, and while it is used often, it is unoccupied for weeks or a month or so at a time, and therefore the house gets very cold and very hot. I have a little combo amp I leave there but I won’t leave any basses there, as much as I would like to. I always bring along a couple of basses when we go there. Plug in the little Combe and play out on the deck, or, in winter, play in the living room with headphones. I get a lot done when we get to go there and I’m (mostly) dis-connected from work.

Sounds like an awesome place. I like Sonora. We’re at 6000 ft.
