Actually, all this is from The WorldWide Web. I hope to play a double-bass some day but in the meantime I just flap my gums and play my Squire Precision. ;>

I've always said that you know, based on personally working with some of the finest basses around. My hat comes off again.

I was merely underscoring that when someone reports hearing a salesman say, "All [PURPLE] basses sound more [PEPPERY] than all [ORANGE] basses," we have to wonder whether the quote is accurately rendered and/or whether the quote is entirely disinterested. (They actually kinda DO teach that in law school, for better or worse. It's a curse.)

All the very best in the new year, Ken. Thanks again for all you do and please buy a lot of nice basses so I can remain constructively jealous!
