The Last Bass Outpost

Solid tune with an SG bass. Hope no IPA fans take offense.

I hate to say it, but I find Pils(ner) overrated. In all its dreariness it has become the dominating taste of beer (though it is finally being pushed back a little in recent years) in all of Germany, even in places where it is an invasive species. Pils has no business in the South of Germany, it comes from the North where they never really knew how to brew, those darn DNA remnants of Viking raids.

I prefer either lighter or darker beer, but I'm not a great beer drinker per se, red wine is my toxicant of choice. Preferable from your neck of the woods.

The worst thing about electric cars is that none of them offer a CD player anymore - they need all the room they can get for the friggin' battery. It has kept me from getting a hybrid Volvo, no joke.

But sometimes a little good can still emanate from something awfully bad, without the Wehrmacht occupation of Norway from 1940-45, we would have never had her:



Frida's mother was Norwegian, her dad a Wehrmacht soldier stationed there, people are people,
but after the Third Reich's surrender, Norway, perhaps understandably so, wasn't a good place to stay for a single Norwegian mother with a Tyskerbarna daughter fathered by a German Landser. So the two moved to Sweden, stayed there and the rest is (another part of) history.

Sounds like you might be referring to Dick Dale's tall tale about how Leo Fender created the Dual Showman specifically because Dale kept blowing up amps. Funny that Dale never mentioned this until shortly after Leo died. No evidence that this ever happened.

I’ve been mostly playing short scale basses , bought some interesting long scales since  , but continue to prefer short scales .
The exceptions were a Yamaha Flying Samurai and a Riverhead Unicorn . Interesting basses !
