Long ago, the telephone system was operated by humans manually connecting calls together at a switch board. They did this with patch cables that looked remarkably similar to the ones still in use today for unbalanced audio connections (like guitars). Hence, the word "phone" became commonly associated with this type of connector, and many people refer to them that way. They are also called "quarter inch". I think that's what is meant in the sentence above, just a regular patch cord, not any reference to RJ-11 jacks or any other thing you would normally connect to a telephone. In other words, no, this bass will not order the pizza for you. OB semi loop content: I went to see the Paul Dresher Ensemble and Rinde Eckert perform the opera "Ravenshead" the other night. (Paul is on the list sometimes, but not now I think...) Very nice show, great music and great vocal/acting performance from Rinde Eckert, not to mention a great way to avoid doing my taxes for a few more hours. Have any of you seen any of Paul's performances before? I had only listened to one of his CD's, so this was quite a treat, I enjoyed it a lot. Fascinating harmonies and rhythms that developed and moved very well with the moods of the opera. In fact, I was engrossed enough in just listening and watching that the left brain never kicked in and I never noticed if Paul was using any of his echoplexes! So no technology here. :-) So if you haven't yet, check out Paul Dresher, either live or on CD, I think you won't regret it. kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint, MTS 408-752-9284 ATI Research kflint@atitech.com http://www.atitech.com
