Me - could I please take a look at this bass? I'm very interested...
Them - Alright Slash... what's with the hat? Cold head? I would have thought you were more into your Les Pauls... I know you're in a famous band but do you have the money for me to be arsed to reach this down? Or should you be looking at the starter guitars over there? They are a lot cheaper than this bass... maybe they would fit with your budget a lot better?
Me - were you dropped as a child?
Hmm, a 3 or 4 inch horn in-pants still doesn't seem that impressive. Unless we are talking girth I guess.
Still, I'd take my two 4 inches over a couple of 1 inches any day.
