what old debate should be revisited next?

And most basses are really witches because they're made of wood. However, I've never tried to see if my Steinberger basses float ;-)

Because they are Oars?

How a $4000 boutique bass is 100 times better than a $400 bass.

You mean 10 times.
Really, how?

What strings will make my P sound like a J ?

You mean 10 times.
Really, how?

I have a friend who plays a Fodera. I had the opportunity to sit in with his band for several songs and play his bass. It has a beautiful finish. Sounds good, mainly 'different'. I realized it has a better finish than my Fender and Sterling. But that was about it. Played the same notes as my $300 bass, still had to be tuned like my $300 bass. Did not sound better than my $300 bass, just different. Still needed a battery like my $300 bass.
But hey, it costs more than 10 times as much as my Sterling so it MUST be 10 better. 100 times better sounds better!

Since the Bongo and monster cable threads have been revitalized, we need to choose the next long buried hot button issue to reanimate.

Best tonewood for metal?
Best metal for bass?
Best bass for norwegian black jazz?
Best effects pedal for that "no effects sound?"
Best mileage for variance?
Fender versus the piece of plywood in my shed?
Carrots versus radishes?
Ampeg 810 vs my refrigerator vs a giant pile of bricks
Did the mothman bass cause coronavirus?

Seriously my offer to buy the mothman is 100% still in effect.

P vs J of course. Then everyone who doesn't own either always says niether...*insert your bass here*

What are the best cargo shorts for metal? Camo vs black?

Camo, but they need to be winter camo - black, white and grey.
