And bass is finger-picked as opposed to strummed, has a longer scale and fewer strings.

true....and the tenor sax is more...'thinks.' as you might say easier to play and you get a better sound but the fingerings are almost the same...but the bass is lower...and the tenor can and is easier to reach the high notes...

Oh okay. I know my brother plays clarinet (and guitar, bass, keyboards) and was saying there's one sax that's in the key but different octave. I'm anticipating this is similar.

You forgot the Soprano Sax.
Also, they're rare, but I think there are bass saxes too.

on Red Bull... I get about 2 cans per week...
on alcohol... less than $20.

It's all in supply management. I drink to posts and cheers and whatnot in this topic, but I don't take a big sip. Just enough to taste the liquor.
