How can you expect an ounce of a serious reply with all this childish clowning around. Maybe just change the name of the threat do people don't mistake for something actually about the bass. Cause.. it's not!

I've had my last two posts deleted on this thread.

It was for a typo you made a big deal about. It's fixed so I deleted your reminder. Didn't make sense leaving your post if the typo was fixed, does it?

Big deal? Me? It was a sort of tongue in cheek reply to your reprimand.

Ken, even my dear ol' mum didn't look after me that well! Thanks for the consideration.

So, what makes these two instruments different?
The double bass stands next to you, like a dancing partner. It doesn't demand logic, more that you show everyone in the room that the two of you are together, like a team.
The bass guitar needs more physical support. The bass guitar is more needy.
A bass instrument isn't something that should be defined by ****ytical comparison. It dwells in the same realms as a wife does. So, let us rise above the notion of logical comparison - things like "I can play faster on this one" or "This one has a better tone."
Why not move into the space of "I could grow flowers in this", for, in the end, isn't that what what life and art are all about?
