The Last Bass Outpost

I'll never complain about the summer no matter how hot it gets.  It's the winter I can't stand.  The cold is nothing but a form of pain.

People always complain. It's either too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry.

I like the climate in Holland. Sometimes I hate winter, but if it's a shiny, freezing winter day... I just love that!  And the first sunny days in spring, just sheer magic! We even started topics about that here!!! My brother lives in Kuala Lumpur and it's always hot. So no first spring day. i don't envy him!

 

That's a pity.

I prefer semisolids over acoustic basses. Why? Two things:

- I don't like the looks of acoustic basses. They're all the same to me. I know, that's just my bad opinion;)
- You still need an amp to be as loud as a singer or acoustic guitar, so it really has no use. Of course it sounds different (better?) than a semisolid, but a semisolid is just cool, it sounds woodier than a normal solidbody, so cool for acoustic gigs.

There are some guys working on here, if I'm right. Check the topics below.

Someone's even making a bass out of an Epiphone '57 LP Jr. guitar!

I'll go to the site one of these days to check!

Do mention DAF!!!

A couple of years ago Williams tried their transmission in a Formula 1 car and it was so fast the FIA banned it. Now you have to have like between 2 and 7 gears, while the VanDoorne (*) transmission has 1 or infinite, just how you see it.
More and more modern cars and manufacturers use it! So we're proud!

And of course the truck division ist still going strong, with modern trucks. There was even a little riot in Holland. They were so busy they didn't had time to make trucks for the Dutch Army. Scania makes them now, but there's a Scania plant in Zwolle, Holland. 

(*) DAF. Van Doorne's Automobiel Fabriek.

Wow, cool! With cat!
