TOO much bass, and only the strong can handle it... and even then, you get 'speaker cone breakup' , and amp fuses blown... :O Of course not. Merely that it's incomplete without the bass...oldmanmickey wrote:So your saying its all about that bass? No treble?
Well, I haven't caused any such damage with my singing, that I know of...illiad wrote:HEH...oldmanmickey wrote: So your saying its all about that bass? No treble?

Huh... You know, there might be some other sentient plant types out there, just not exactly like tumblyweed.Catawampus wrote:Given her heritage and unique biological status, it could be that she'll never show any interest in boys.

Some of my happiest life memories... being on vacation in Greece and Italy. Walking into a small, deserted church with a domed ceiling. Hearing my wife sing a hymn and listening to the sound fill the whole space and echo back...TazManiac wrote:PS based on reading the most recent posts....
I once had a cold that took my normal range down a bit and while absentmindedly humming to myself in a movie theater lobby, in Berkeley CA, I found I could get a harmonic in the big vaulted space. It built on itself until others could feel it in their sternums.

: Only psychological damage , I guess... 
If you can't make it for some reason, maybe we can convince this guy to fill in.lake_wrangler wrote:You'll need a good bass... any barbershop quartet worth its salt has to have a good bass...

He's OK, I guess... I'm not trying to belittle him, or anything, but I can sing the same song a whole octave lower. In fact, he even sings it a few tones higher than Tennessee Ernie Ford does, and I can still sing it a whole octave lower than he, as well...GlytchMeister wrote:If you can't make it for some reason, maybe we can convince this guy to fill in.
O_o
Holy crap, that dude's voice is something outta legend.
But then, that's what rehearsals are for, no?) I think the real trick is he's this little tiny stick figure of a dude. Yeah, he's kinda tall and has a Mohawk, but still. He looks way too skinny for a voice that meaty.lake_wrangler wrote:He's OK, I guess... I'm not trying to belittle him, or anything, but I can sing the same song a whole octave lower.

Here's a sample of my voice, from a rehearsal at my church for our Christmas concert in 2014. We were singing the Carol of the Bells, as sung by Pentatonix. The sound quality is not the best, seeing as it was recorded from my digital photo camera, but you still get the idea...
In case it wasn't clear, I'm the big, bearded guy at the left...
(And yes, I am quite aware that I am slightly off key at the beginning...
Heh. That's exactly the way my girlfriend was wearing her hair when she started med school in 1985.GlytchMeister wrote:Yeah, he's kinda tall and has a Mohawk, but still.
She might end up an entwife!TazManiac wrote:Huh... You know, there might be some other sentient plant types out there, just not exactly like tumblyweed.
Her future may hold a cross-pollination with some other mix of plant and animal, Hybrid Vigor for the Win!
I'm... I'm not sure how I feel about Castela hooking up with an Ent. Just doesn't seem... Right... >_>Catawampus wrote:She might end up an entwife!TazManiac wrote:Huh... You know, there might be some other sentient plant types out there, just not exactly like tumblyweed.
