With (somewhat minor) apologies to the guy who wanted to get more of a "P bass" sound out of the bridge pickup on his Bongo HH, I offer this gem I picked up on another bass forum:

"Yes, I have a Porsche, and I am wondering if there is any way I can use it to haul about a half ton of mulch? I was helping a friend do some landscaping the other day, and i really liked the way his pickup truck hauled a bunch of stuff."

"I am aware that I could buy a decent pickup truck for less money than it would cost to modify my Porsche, and I am also aware that all sorts of Porsche enthusiasts will really be up in arms about such a thing, but what should I do?"

The original poster didn't see the humor in this. I do.

Actually, he should look at the front pickup for that solution.

Nice analogy Jack, like the reverse of Sow's Ear and Silk Purses..something my mom would say..and I'd say "why the hell would you do that"...

She'd just swat me upside the head.

Keep the Porsche original - add a tow bar - buy a trailer, and your away. Imagine going to the landscape suppliers with that combo. I'd like to see that. How does that translate into bass speak though?:confused: A Bongo with a P pickup installed. :eek:

Good idea - how about a Porsche that has been involved in a rear or front end shunt.

Hack off the good half and convert that into a trailer. :eek:
