0:00.0	What's up and welcome to another episode of the Scott and Ian show on the SBL podcast.
0:05.8	Today, oops, he did it again.
0:11.2	He bought another bass.
0:13.6	He played with your heart and he bought another base.
0:16.5	Is he going to keep this base?
0:18.2	We don't know.
0:19.2	Do you know what base I'm talking about right now? No, you don't, but you're going to in the episode, will we ever, will we ever cure the gas, the gear acquisition syndrome? I don't know. But it's pretty fun. It's pretty fun to, uh, to see it in somebody else. So Scott got a new bass, check it out, see what it is.
0:39.7	Also, we talk about, like, what would it take to make an incredible inexpensive instrument?
0:44.9	Scott and I play a bunch of, like, bougie bases. But we're thinking more and more about what
0:50.9	would it take to make the ultimate cheap base? And cheap there, you know,
0:56.7	being inexpensive is really what we mean, right? But it's too long for a title, right? Also,
1:02.5	do big headstocks change the tone? We talk about that a little bit too. Like, if you ever
1:07.0	wondered that? Like, does the headstock have a huge impact on the sound? Some people think it does. We're going to tell you what we think. Tell you that. Hey, what's going on at SBL? Today, Monday the 20th, if we've got Jonathan Marin doing space and time. If you don't know Jonathan, he's incredible. He's one of my favorites. He's one of Scott's favorites. Check him out. Absolutely.
1:29.1	I need to check out that session, too.
1:37.4	Then next week, Monday, the 27th of November, Ariane Kapp is in the mentor's seat talking about the e-scale.
1:39.8	Oh, e-scale.
1:40.9	Escalate?
1:43.3	Your scales game.
2:03.9	I don't even know what that is. I think I'm saying it correctly. Escalate? Your scales game. I don't even know what that is. I think I'm saying it correctly. Escalate. Your scales game. Now I'm curious. I need to check that out. But if you don't know Ari, she's incredible. So check her out. She does a bunch of theory and groove studies that help make sense of these complicated things, especially for beginners to intermediate players. But of course, if you're
2:08.3	advanced, you can check it out as well. It'll always give you new perspective. I love going back
2:14.5	to very basic beginner material because I always find that there's a gap somewhere
2:19.0	that I have totally missed. So even if you think, oh, I know how to play all the major scales
