Why are bassists important? Because someone has to sit on the beat to keep the drummer from speeding up

Wait cliches in rock music? And I swear I don't know which one of the three in the Destinys Child video is Beyonce. IS she in that video? I heard she was in that group but I may be wrong I don't want to google it

OK if I saw that blue one hanging in G.C. I would definitely pull it down and try it. Just goes to show (me)...

Maybe I should write a song about an old bass player with back and neck problems that can't even work for the caterer anymore "cause his feet hurt".

I love my Longhorn. A reissue w/ the wooden bridge, tiny plastic tuners that feel like they're gonna snap off any minute, (yet don't), wood screw height adjustments, really cool tweed gigbag all fer I think, $159US? My only shortscale, but I can rip on it, & it's got those lipsticks and everyone wants to grab it and have a go . Lipsticks are a little noisy 'cause they're single coil, but I'm not gonna carp about it...

I go into GuitarCenter and go "Euhw" (and why BONGO) but I owned a "champagne pink" Pedulla Pentabuzz so there's no accounting for taste, especially mine.

Fairies Wear Boots - Black Sabbath

Do they have a point though? SEND ME YOUR MONEY.

Glad I was able to add amusement to yer life. That's what BassChat is all about. I am so humbled you don't barre me from talkin' 'bout Sticks.

I was in a Top 40 band, I replaced Dave LaRue when he left for Berklee, so I played some questionable material for $ in my day!

It sounds to me some old codger@ Wal is hand winding the pups and dropping the spool. Don't they sell these thingys@ Wal-Mart? Seriously I bought a Chapman Stick, they are all hand-made by Emmett for 4GrandUS he said 9 months I had it in 8. I wonder about you guys sometimes. I played Percy's Wal when we opened for his band he played my fretless P bass he liked my bass I loved the Wal but gheesh...

Considering how AWFUL BAD some of the Disco was SNF was some pretty well crafted swill

Oh the Epic Scale of these jokes! May I halibut in?

It was better that most of the Stickists I so graciously follow..."Bass Consultant", eh? Nice work if you can get it...

I thought he was standing in front of racks of albums. He's shopping for stones? And wonders why? And I know girls that SPECIFICALLY hunt down the bassists. Weird girls. Love 'em...

Wow. I didn't realize how much I dislike that song. I respect Dolly Parton, but Country Music I Don't Get. Except for Hank Williams. (anomaly)

This really happened to me. The first band I was in was a rock band and we did some Sabbath and I insisted on doing Gezzer's Bassically. I had a Morley Wah/Boost (the big chrome one with A.C. power) and we were playing in a gymnassium set up on the floor. A girl that was sitting on the floor in front of us (I noticed her 'cause she was cute) came up to me afterward and said "Wasn't that a bit EXPANDING?" I said "What do you mean?" She said "I thought I had to go to the bathroom." To this day I have no idea if she was criticizing or complimenting me but I thought, "Wow. I can make people lose their bowels..."

"A low-end rumble to any large orchestra." Got it!

I still can't do this - you hafta hear Don Ellis do Hey Jude it's on YouTube somebody please post it You Will Laugh!

Abstinence? Screw that...

Here I go, maybe my favouritist band EVER! Such whimsy and psychedelia wrapped into a jam sandwich. And I finally found a slide that works on the Stick...a Strat whammy bar. Glissandozzzzz

Eternity's Children - Mrs. Bluebird - I woke up w/ that one in my head today don't know where THAT came from!

Gong! Although the new line-up is approoved by all PHP's...

I, for one, am a proponent for malarkey and whatnot! Cheers!

You guys had me going. 1976.
