Be more specific.

There are a lot to choose from 😊

Ewe mispeeled alot Straummy 😉 

My little left toe did not even look half that good at 66.

I had a guitar player compose a song where his bassline that I was required to play was just about like that if it was to be accomplished. I told him it could not be played  by me (he only wrote out the notes). He said "that's impossible". So I sez to him "ok you play it". After three or four struggles by him to play his own "composition" he agreed that it was impossible to play and agreed to let me change that one part of the song (IIRC it was a pre-chorus).

My boot drive is a Samsung 870 Evo SSD.

I just upgraded my Samples drive to 16TB (45% full). AFAIK I have no streaming libraries. I also keep my Dropbox desktop app access there too.

My Projects drive is 2TB (about 60% full). Getting close to upgrading to a new drive (probably 4TB this time).

What would an M.2 internal SSD do for me?

Here’s some certainties in life:

TruDat! 🙂 

However, I'm jumping off the BIAB wagon this year. I have simply not used it enough of late (I also did not upgrade to 2021 either).

What plug-in are you using ? Is there a discount code? When does the deal expire? Is Kontact Full required ?

I paid $1000 for my ever slightly used 1976 Series 1 in 1977 (MSRP was $2000). A quick web search says today's value of 1977 $1000 is $4475. 

After 45 years it does not strike me that my $1000 was any real investment. 

Footnote: The guy I bought it from was a P-Bass collector/seller. He admitted he did not know much about Alembics. It belonged to a young student (12 years old) of his who was unable to play the long scale. That is why he priced it "fairly" at 50% off the retail price.

Man, I knew inflation was bad, but 22-24K in three hours ????

My 'off the shelf' Series I sold new for $2000 in 1976, today a 1976/77 Series I tends to be in the $6-8K range.
 

Fixed for those who did not get the implied "used" value I was referring to.

Feeble attempts to find the Am bass note, no doubt.

Since that one is a custom build it's hard to say if it was an "investment". 

My 'off the shelf' Series I sold new for $2000 in 1976, today a 1976/77 Series I tends to be in the $6-8K range.

This one is on Reverb right now for $5.5k, The body wood is rather plain compared to mine but other than the few worn spots it's a pretty good find for anyone who wants a 'vintage' Alembic for under $6K.

Here's my 1976 Series I

4 guitars could be considered paltry. Just sayin'. There's your new horizon 🤔

Except for the fact: I (officially) stopped playing guitar after three years and switched to bass. 

I still play guitar with the skills of that time frame, so 4 guitars are, for me, extremely un-paltry.  😉

I use Bach’s counterpoint. Does wonders. 

I use my countertop. That way I don't have to stoop to the floor to make (wonder) bread.

With 14 bass guitars to my name as well as 4 guitars and a drum set to boot.

His dad was 10 in 1964 watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, I was 11 (did I ever mention The Beatles landed in NY on my birthday in 1964?)

Nice.

Is that a flat wound string?

For the Am tuning? DUH!

I did it too. Not that I actually needed it but it's def a cool looking mic and it will be a nice addition to my mic locker for under 100 bones.
