Seen this contribution from Gene?

As usual, lots of words to sell something.
Mandatory inflamatory opinion included.

"What are your views on the pick versus fingerstyle question?

“Respectfully, studio musicians who play with their fingers live have no idea that we can’t hear what they’re playing, because there’s no actual definition on the note that’s coming out. You can do that and love it and have no shaggin’ idea what he’s playing, but you love that low end, or you can be like Chris Squire and have a very bright sound, where you can hear the attack and therefore hear the note that’s actually being played. I mean, a piano is a percussive instrument, and you can hear every single note because there’s a definition when the player hits the note.”

I do think a lot of guys do this, not so much at the pro level tho. Picks get used in the studio a lot than most (Genpop) folks realize.

Mushrooms here too, a full Welsh is much the same as the English version but you get more sausages and a real free range egg :) The Scottish breakfast is the best by a mile, Scottish sausage is a work of genius.

I sold my mapleglo 4001 in 1998. I had given my very nice Japanese fireglo copy away some years before that. The 4005 was my 'holy grail' bass for a very long time but now I have no real interest beyond the fact that seeing one is an event in itself.

I would like to see a 4005 one day and play it. Just to find out what they are all about. Had a 4003 twice. I liked them but dont miss them very much.
