I’m going to a sustainability conference this coming week :joy:

Maybe I should take the Dingwall :winking_face_with_tongue:

Worrying about sustain on a bass is always so funny. The bass I had with the worst sustain still had more than enough sustain - several measures of whole notes at any reasonable tempo - for any song that the audience wouldn’t simply walk out from.

That’s nice! You must be happy

Who’s worried? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

If you think I’m trolling you, you’re very easily trolled. :laughing:

I don’t care what Claude says. Should have been pretty clear. :slightly_smiling_face:

Still waiting to read your source on this. Thanks @K_Miller

I was curios why you were calling me a troll when I hadn’t addressed you. If that’s your kind side, you must be like a kitten chasing a laser when you’re upset. :grin:

@Whying_Dutchman this is why I didn’t respond to your sustain baiting. It always gets chippy.

“sustain”

seems a harmless word

Single least important aspect of an instrument for bass, too :slight_smile:

I have yet to pickup a bass that doesn’t have enough sustain to do the job

Even 3kg mini-basses are fine

Miller? Miller? Anyone? Anyone?

I mean it’s plausible he’s right! I’m just saying it doesn’t matter because sustain is a silly factor to worry about.

Bassists: “Sustain!”
Also bassists: “I’m putting a sponge under my strings”

Always something to consider with a bass that has a lot of sustain, huh?
