Silvia,
I am sorry to hear that, you should have told me then... Nobody I know in the company that acts this way no matter if you are man or woman. The 2nd person in the company is a woman. And many of the top employees are actually women, so it is hard to be sexist in a company that is literary run by women :-)
I do agree with the man's surprise though, you have to admit there are not too bass player ladies around, so it is always a nice surprise, even to me. Come on, on Warwick forum we have maybe 3 or 4 female bassists. Even when you joned, I was like WOOOOW< a lady player, welcome to the forum Silvia!!!!
This is not sexist...
Like someone said in a movie:
"WHat's wrong being sexy?"
:-)
