Good to see you! I'm a huge fan of the long form. Not to be ageist, but I'm 57, play professionally, run a recording studio, don't have a Tik Tok attention span, and have time to spend on such things, so I appreciate the effort that goes into making such things and the information it provides. That's my two cents. Have a goody, my dude!

Thanks Sski, that's really helpful. You're not being ageist at all, I'd have to agree about the TikTok attention span; very frustating.

I love the full length videos, I fully believe that the Les Claypool and Lemmy bass rigs were where the format came in and made this channel awesome, not just going over basses and amps and pedals, but also going over history of bands, showing clips from the bassist being covered, all the goodies. Would definitely like to see some of the older videos revisited if time permits. As always keep up the amazing work Alfie!
