If you haven't done so, read up on him. He has to be one of the most interesting people to ever live. And a character!

I don’t know. Revolver was pretty artistic.
And for that I am grateful.
Now is different. And I love bagpipes. Win. Win. If I had a daughter... Something a drummer friend sent that I can see on FB.
It was a decent player though. At least I thought so. I think those need to be modded. Prime candidate for an EMG Thunderbird IMO for someone wanting that sound.
I don’t know French. I assume it means “Ben slept here.”
Active Pro IV. Just couldn't get a sound I liked. I think it was a 2010?The recent Epi Pro IV? Closest new bass to a '63-'65 IV in many ways. I guess you wouldn't like a vintage '64-'65 IV...
Something like that.
But he did a bit more. This is where he landed before being whisked off inland to meet the King, or a representative thereof, to arrange French aid in the War of Independence. I then the French supplied the Navy that you lacked.
Pretty big deal I think.
BTW the street the bus stop I used today was on is “Avenue du President John Fitzgerald Kennedy”, though i don’t know the connection.

Oh, active... I can't keep track of all the variations. There are those who only use passive, others who only use active, and others still who use both. Within both camps there's variation so I can understand not liking the way a specific active, or passive bass sounds. I have a few active basses that I love the sound of but if I had to recommend an active bass that can do it all w/o sounding like a glassy active bass and w/o 20 knobs - G&L L2000 for the win.

I agree, as a group effort. The examples I mentioned were all individual artist who produced a more single-minded result. Like when Brian Wilson evolved into a composer/songwriter aside from The Beach Boys group format.
Imagine the surprised look on the goofus audience members face that yelled out “Free Bird” when she asked for requests.
Love the bagpipe in contemporary music. Bas Haggis was a fav pipe rock band of mine years ago, very forward bass in the mix fits well with the pipes..
The jazz sounds good, but it would be interesting to hear this with a bird.

Ben Franklin... the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States.
He "got around" a good bit, but don't think quite that far. But then again...
