Thanks for the insight BOMH... I should have figured that humidity would play a factor as it definitely does with heat. Thanks to all for posting some beautiful pictures. Don't know if I'd call Carlos' beautiful outside of sheer amazement for what mother nature can deliver. All the best wishes for your safety. I hope everyone in the northern hemisphere manages to stay warm.

I hope not. For what I have to pay to get into a Stones show, Mick better sing his A55 of and actually EARN my money! Plus, what would Lisa, Bernard & Blondie do if we were to do their parts for them?!?! Seriously though, with respect to carlos' question, I won't deny that it's a cool feeling for both crowd and band to be involved in something like what's shown above.

To everybody all at once... Joker, Are you saying that a compressor improves the sound of a bass or just alters it in a way that can't be undone? In certain circumstances I might agree with both but in many cases I'd have to disagree with the first part. On the Knack video, I believe that is a Vigier I played one in France about 20 years ago and fell in love. Haven't seen on

Quotenankerphlege I wonder what happened to Beck's other bass player? Tal something. She was great. Not sure what she's up to right now but her full name is Tal Wilkenfield. Not only a great technical player but I also love the fact that she's got such a geart feel for the groove and an obvious love of playing. She just looks like she's having fun. Peace, Mr DJA

I won't be redundant and repeat why that is...The Fender Bass VI is a cross between an electric bass and a guitar. A baritone guitar is a guitar offshoot in a way that an electric bass is a standup bass offshoot
