    What you got then? I'm talking old school green break-your-back stuff like this bad boy:

    And this, my 1984 1110 combo. Serial no. 002. So old that it has toggle switches like a 60s car. Sounds great though:

    Combo, two heads, 4x10 and 2 x 1x15

    Used Yamaha BB series basses go for peanuts.

    Paul McCartney’s tour and studio-played Yamaha BB-1200 “Wings” bass sold for a whopping $496,100 to become the most expensive bass to ever be sold at auction.

    And…gotta say…the bass tone he got from it is killer!
     

    Of course this was more about the owner than the bass but I sold my BB1200 for £1200 recently

    This interview demonstrates exactly how people, especially the press, have a desire or need to stereotype and generalise. 

     

    Everytime he makes a statement she tries to strawman him and generalise something, he then has to point out he is describing specific behaviours by people in specific situations. 

     

    This is akin to having a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.

     

    Say something has female qualities and you're being sexist... And say something is masculine and you're excluding women from being able to do it.

     

    Sometimes you need to look in your toolbox and decide whether you should be using a hammer to bang in screws.

     

     

    Another one tries and fails to snare JP

     

    Is the sex/gender of these wannabe assailants relevant?

    JP says a lot, it's often totally unintelligible. Even his writing that's been edited doesn't make a lot of sense.

     

    Anyway, I don't think anyone is saying that there's no difference between women and men. The differences are obvious. That's not what the progression in language is about.

     

    I'm sure I don't need to explain this to you but

     

    "Hit like a girl" could mean girls are less likely to feel they could be a successful boxer, or drummer

     

    "Throw like a girl", "run like a girl" etc

     

    "Bass is a manly instrument"

     

    There's a prevailing attitude that this language fuels the inequality we see between men and women 

     

    Of course JP would have you believe there's no such inequality

     

    Like I said, I don't think anyone's offended by ACs remarks, it's just that some of us think that language is outdated and we should move on 

    JP nailed it here - 34 million views

     

    Comedy gold relevant to what AC said
