That's because you are not an idiot. In my defense, it had warmed up above freezing and I-5 was more or less plowed and cleaned up before I rode home. It was still pretty dumb.

I didn't think of that. Great idea.

I run everything wireless. There's a Broughton hi/low pass filter right after the receiver/tuner pedal. That goes into a couple shiny boxes that get swapped out depending on what I need to do. Right now it's an octaver and fuzz for a couple songs on the Thunderbird. That goes into a DI box with a couple outputs that can go into the amp. That sorts out the peizo boxy sound when playing through and amp that's not as peizeo friendly. The Broughton has a volume know, so I can adjust, but I would rather be able to set it and have the sound come out at roughly the same volume without a lot of knob twiddling. The one thing I'm a little concerned about is feedback. That's been pretty well tamed by running from the DI into the PA and using a bass amp for stage volume mostly. But, weird things happen with the doghouse sometimes.
I'd like to see your Venn diagram for dumb and shallow.
I rode in that, no problem. Very carefully, of course — even more so than usual.
I notice they are all Vintage Ports. The general Port style we do in Australia is Tawny Port. They range from cheapies to really excellent expensive offerings.
Do you have any American Tawny’s?

Same issue in US with EU naming rules. I am not sure why wineries here care what the EU says unless they plan on exporting. The naming treaty happened when the US was in prohibition, so the US didn't bother signing the treaty.I notice they are all Vintage Ports. The general Port style we do in Australia is Tawny Port.

There are a few tawny ports made in the US. Of the ones I know of, one is in NY and the other in CA (Sonoma). The issue is the oak aging and the time it takes to oxidize the wine.
I just happen to prefer vintage ports as you know how it is going to age given a single harvest of a single varietal. You just have to wait until someone says it was a good year. So, you are already paying a premium.
I picked up this NV (Non Vintage) when I was in NZ last time. We went to the vineyard and they pulled this out to taste with the charcuterie board we ordered. My goodness! Delicious! So I ended up carting it around the North Island and then back home. I also bought one of their Tempranillo’s.
I feel confident to recommend.

Whatever it looks like, I'm right there in the intersecting part. There's probably some other attribute that is part of the diagram, too.

I was going nuts the other night. Playing any bass through the Carbine was buzzy like that. What the heck? My wife had been watching TV when I went upstairs. I finally went downstairs and she had turned on the dining room light. It has a dimmer switch. Duh. Issue solved.

Getting a second wireless transmitter to work was an interesting process. I doubt anybody else will find this useful, but just in case, this is what happened. My wireless is a Shure GLXD 16 with a tuner/receiver pedal. Shure stopped making those a while ago and then restarted. The new ones are a different technology and are incompatible with the old ones. I have an old one, which meant that I needed to find an old style transmitter that would be compatible with the receiver pedal. There was one on Reverb, so I bought it. When it turned up, it wouldn't pair with the receiver pedal at all. Turns out Shure updates software or firmware or something every so often. They stopped updating what I have about three years ago. The updates are still available. The new transmitter was operating on a different update from everything else I have. Once it all got updated, it all started working just fine. Now I have two transmitters that work well, provided they are not both turned on at the same time. I don't know what happens if you do that and don't want to find out.
It was a surprise to find out that a wireless system gets updated software or firmware, whatever the difference is. I think the new to me transmitter is a few years younger than the rest of the system. It was operating with a newer update. I cannot imagine anybody updating a wireless system if it works. The system has worked fine for me all this time, and I think about it about as much as I would think about a cable that works.

Sound guy here that used to to sound systems said he had a church with an intermittent noise. He had trouble because it wasn't always happening. While yet another time when he was there it began and he asked what just changed. Come to find out someone went into a restroom down stairs and the exhaust fan came on. That was it. Took several visits before they finally figured it out--by accident.

I need to get you a show in Seattle so you fly up with this bass and run it through my rig.
