So, why ain't I smiling?

EBMM SR 30th into Ampeg SVT2 Pro into 810 cab.
Tone to die for...... no smileys?

Probably because some berk at the gig said "Ooh, nice bass.... is that a F####r?"
We need to educate the masses people!!

Didn't you get the memo?That's why they were made out of mahogany...so you could bonk em on the head with it when they say hogwash like that!



Classic combo!!

 

[tombboy]

Yeah, I miss that rig! But I dont miss the carting around or jar full of brufen after!!!
Markbass is the way forward.

 

[Rano Bass]

That also happened to me
The fact that my previous bass was a fe*%er Roscoe Beck V didn't help either

 

[Oldtoe]

No one's ever told me that when I play my Bongo!

Usually the highschool crowds my band plays in front of are pretty good when it comes to identifying MM basses. Whenever i pull one out of the case I usually hear a whisper or 2 saying "ooh check out the stingray."

Sad thing is, is that I hear the same thing when someone whips out a OLP

I'm glad you're still enjoying the 30th Jamie, don't let the morons get you down!

 

[tombboy]

I suppose it goes in stages....
Nice 30th - would have been fantastic!! He'd have a drink!
Nice 'Ray - lovely! Gained an offer of a beer!!
Is that an Ernie Ball? - Hey! How are ya!
Do you play bass? - No..... I fly rockets to the Moooooon!!!!!
Do you play guitar? - F##k off!!!!

Hey Brad... how are ya? The 30th????
This is one baby who is with me FOR LIFE!!!!
You give me a shout if you have any more bargains!
Jamie.

You just need to smile in the face of adversity. Why remember what someone said that made you mad?

Life is too short.

Like what you like and don't give two ****s about what anyone else thinks.

[Disquieter]

did anyone ever get the whole "is that a pre-fender stingray?" followed by me saying "what?"

and then they go on to say how fender bought ernie ball a couple years ago, and the quality is horrible since they started outsourcing all the building. Then trying to argue when you calmly correct them.


oi.

 

[bovinehost]

I used to see this bassist (term used loosely) every week at this blues jam and every time I'd pull out a Stingray, which back then was EVERY TIME I PLAYED, he'd say, "I really like those G&Ls."

Gosh, I miss him.

[Oldtoe]

Gee, if only that guy knew what you unloaded from your magazines before loading up with target shells at the practice range, I'll bet he would have done more *ahem* research.

 

[bovinehost]

Son, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, I do have a slight inkling. Perhaps stronger than slight.

Shhhh. I'm just a big old goofy leftist peacemonger, fool.

(email me about saturday night)

[Oldtoe]

I was talking about you putting seltzer water in your squirt gun.

 

[Oldtoe]

Oh, and I'm coming tomorrow night.

 

[bovinehost]

Yee-ha, podner!

Now then, ahem, why wouldn't the original poster be smiling?

Sorry about the hijack. Supposedly I'm here to prevent such things.

Fat chance, eh?

 

[Oldtoe]

Someone mistook his fabulous 30th anniversary Stingray for some chunk of wood and wires made by a company who profits from the comparatively cheap labor of people in third world countries.

 

[tombboy]

The lack of smiling header was actually tongue in cheek.. I was probably trying to get 'the groove'.
But that herbert did say that to me!! I mean, this thing just oozes quality FAR superior to any other production (and most custom) models and he automatically thinks of the 'only' brand he knows. Sheesh!!
