"If we can cultivate in the world the idea that aggressive war-making is the way to the prisoner's dock rather than the way to honors, we will have accomplished something toward making the peace more secure." -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, 1945-08-12

Long, long day yesterday. Tired today. I'll be asking for advice re: cars and inspection and risks in a little while, as well as trolling for a favour from a friend with a trailer, but I'm still collecting my thoughts ...

In the meantime, not having found any more of a hint as to the location of the alleged trasure-trove of relevant clues than "there exists, at some undisclosed location, some bass-players' mailing list where this has been discussed before", I'm making a first, crude stab at collecting the knowledge of the Net with a magnet instead of a shovel. While this ought to be (and as soon as I get a round tuit will be) either a Wiki or a custom LAMP application, for now I've started a Google spreadsheet to which I'll grant edit-access to whomever says they've anything to add. Behold the rough version of the Which Cars Can Carry A Double Bass spreadsheet.

Please pass this along to other bassists you know, and ask 'em for additional Clues.
