What's the oddest look you've ever gotten for your balls?

[Dizzy]

Mainly size comments like this one :

NICE!
that 20th looks tiny on you mate! lol

from http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-guitars/38650-my-20th-action.html

When you're a big f*cker, those sorts of comments come for just about any ocassion :

NICE!
My girlfriend looks tiny on you mate! lol

Not many people know about EBMM here in El Paso. There's a couple of guys that do though, they "trip out" when they see a regual JP, imagine a left handed?

 

[banjoplayer]

Had not many comments. It seems to me that more guitarists here in Germany know about EBMM and that they´re quality guitars (compared to what you´re telling about the US).

But one guy I know said to me after a gig about my AL something in the sense of: "mmh strange looking guitar. The pickups are not that good?"

 

[zombi]

I get a lot of that. Not too many people around me play the type of stuff I play. I'd say there is a very good chance most of you don't either. So it's really hard to describe "why" to somebody. The only real answer is because I like them. It's all relative. If I wanted it to sound like a lp through a Marshall, I'd probably be playing a lp through a Marshall... I also think it's funny that at first glance everyone thinks my autumn redburst is just s cherryburst until all of a sudden they realize it sparkles!

I went to a guys place to test drive an amp and brought my Luke with me to play through. As i pulled it out of the case the guy was like "Is that a Dean??" I replied that no it was an EBMM and found out he didn't know much about them at all. I started playing through this amp and he said "Man that guitar sounds awesome!!! But any guitar with EMGs' sound great". I almost laughed but just ignored the comment and bought the amp.

"Is that a Dean??"

and you still bought the amp?

 

[robelinda2]

People love my AL's. I just need to learn the Jetson's theme to cater for their requests.

The oddest looks I ever get with my bongo (Warhammer) is..."Man, you have been through hell and back with that thing. Great tone...looks weird...but great tone. It has a ton of mojo! Is it reliced??" I just laugh and tell them no...then they see me on stage and know why it is so beat up.

IT-HAS-DINGS-EVERY-****ING-WHERE!!!!!!!

what's up with that? is it really like having wild sex or something? i must be missing out!

 

[Music Man]

When I played in my last band which use to do a little of everything Blues, Rock, Raggae, Metal, Punk and even a little country at times. I used to get odd looks all the time.
I don't know if it was for my balls or because there on the stage was this unknown Mexican with short hair and glasses playing these styles of music

Probably playing in Chess. The bassoon player looks at my JP7 and goes "Why does your guitar have 8 strings?"

.... um, it has 7.

Oh. Why?

coz I'm awesome and you're not.

 

[Dante]

the look i get from my teacher everytime i whip my morse out. i don't know what bothers him most: the fact it isn't black (cuz of the tuning and all) or the fact it's supposed to be a brand for virtuosos(and i suck).

 

[koogie2k]

In a word - YES.

 

[Dante]

In a word - YES.

IKNEWITGODAMMIT!



at the end of the day; those twisted dents on the headstock show who's having all the fun

well, i may be a skinny stringer, but at least i have the satisfaction of knowing that my E string just BARELY fits in the tuner... (took me, no joke, 10 minutes to get the sucker in )

LOL. Reminds me of practically every youtube video with Andy James; comments are like, "How many strings does that guitar have?!" When it's obvious there are 7. COUNT THE PEGS, Noobs!

 

[megaroel]

some young guitar players are dumb ltd's and esp's
try a real guitar. so far ive gotten good looks my way after a couple of shows.
i just hate it when they ask the make and model. not that i dont like talking about my pride and joy. yeah you know the guitar strings well these are the guitars.

My first cat was called Dinky-I didn't name her after a Jackson Dinky, but it got me thinking... It would be cool if I called my next cat Bongo!!

Anyone else named pets after Balls?! A new topic thread maybe...


I usually get the "that strat is small" or is "that a strat copy?" comments, when clearly my Silo and Luke look nothing like a Strat. Now I'm more grown up, I tend not to give any comments back, but I do like to let people play with my balls in order to educate them!
