Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Doh! That big BASS wasn’t in the title to start with.
Anyway, I’m going to have a bass tomorrow. A nice blue one. Will probably use the same pick too.

Re: BASS: oh, cliche topic - what picks do you use!
After completely poo-poo'ing this idea, I scraped the bottom of the pick barrel and found a nylon .88, have to say way better than the big stubbies I can't imagine it lasting longer than an hour or two but definitely like that feel.
