Hi Jim,

I think we have here a typical misubderstanding between two languages, plus
the fact that you are American and I am not.
Actually my use of the word sappy is a literal translation of my word
"sappig". When I personally use the word "sappig" to describe a bass, than a
few other images and descriptions come to my mind : juicy, rich like a ripe
and delicious fruit, mature....
And of course a good Steinway has all that plus the possibility of "thunder"
or, as you mentioned "

>To the contrary, I like a bass that can (optionally) be driven into distortion.

I hope that with this explanation I have made myself more clear in my feeble
English attempt.
