The Last Bass Outpost

This is comparatively recent, just a few years ago. Nena (she of 99 Red Balloons fame) recorded an album reworking her old hits and had other singers guest on it who had inspired or impressed her at one time. Nena has always owned up to the fact that she initially patterned herself as the German dark-haired version of Ms Wilde. Nena is leaning on the anorectic side nowadays (she's been more statuesque before - you wouldn't know from her current look that she is the mother of five children, the first one, born in the eighties with a cerebral defect, died after a year, she retired from her career and moved with the child to an island to be there for it until the very end, the other four children are fine). Anyway, even in this official vid a gracious camera cannot prevent Frau Wilde from looking not quite so Matrix-"Trinity"-sleek as Nena, but she's still attractive and probably more, errrm, "comfortable" under the sheets too, not all women do have to look like 16 year old boys with breasts:

Dr Bassman's Rümbelkatze was shot down on a nightraid over ze Reich and now resides - under the comfort of the Geneva Convention it is assured plus the occasional Red Cross parcel - in Stalag(ibson) 17!



Sneakily he tried to to get it away via Ebay, but my searchlights caught him.

PS: Great film it was!

Why don't you guys just settle for "Groupieführer"?

I know, wishful thinking ... 

Sigh!

Actually, I'm quite happy that history, fate and my birthdate spared me of the "chance" of ever becoming a "Gruppenführer". 

You old-timers are silly sometimes - roller bridges won't work on carved tops not because of the added height requirement, but because they require a large flat mounting surface (parallel to the strings) which just does not exist.

Also, though a break angle is nice on an archtop instrument, it is hardly necessary (just makes setups easier... but also increases the bridge height requirement... see previous point).  He could go with a carved top here if he wanted to (and doesn't have issue with the 3 point, or some other post-mounted bridge).

Duh, that is an obvious point, Jake!  But even if you pinned down the roller bridge with one screw in the middle to the carved top, ignoring stability and looks, it's height adjustment range would still not be nearly enough.

These youngsters, pah .... (walks off mumbling ...) 

I've read that somewhere else: Long legs stand for good nutrition during childhood as they only grow up to adolescence with girls (you can't catch up what you missed initially), boys continue to grow their legs through adolescence so with them it is not as definite as sign for good childhood nutrition.

Of course Fräulein Rommel's legs haven't stopped growing to this day!

I find the lightsabre's credibility conceptually flawed: How do you stop a laser beam in midair?

Which explains why the LP Standards came either with the three point or the Schaller Warwick bridge, not the lower roller bridges used on Specials and DeLuxes.
