Happy Jack Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Ode to the Unplugged A band which abandons its pluggery Can swiftly descend into thuggery. Acoustics and cajon In theory are champion, But as to rehearsal - well Buggery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Do you gig with your pre CBS? No, you don't, I would hazard a guess You'll leave it behind Even though you're inclined In your playing, to slowly regress Noob question! 3rd's 5th's 7th's 10th's? Just ignore them, but play to your strengths You'll be at your ease Without this Chinese Unless you go to great lengths Does anything sell on Basschat? Pretty much, at the drop of a hat It flies from the shelves Excepting the Elves That TE still have to work at To J Bass or not to J bass! This is neither the time nor the place Get the playing just right And, with luck, you might Find your present guitar is just ace Simple but perfectly formed To this subject my heart has been warmed It's not merely a whim I'll go out on a limb In suggesting that I've been brainstormed Edited August 17, 2017 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 There was a young man from the west, Who, in comparing amps, was obsessed. Despite looking at watts, and ohms, quite a lot, Cacked his pants when he tried to count heft. S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I once purchased a copy of a Ricky, Whose neck it transpired was quite sticky, It had oodles of charm, But it dug in my arm, I'm not sure why I bought that fake Ricky. I guess you could call me too picky, But I fell out of love with that Ricky, I thought to be bold, I should get that thing sold, But to shift it turned out rather tricky. I'd quite like to purchase a real one, I even pop in shops just to feel one, But thanks to John Hall, I can't sell mine at all, And the only choice left is to steal one. Don't worry I don't condone theft, But there aren't many avenues left, Whilst travelling home, I bought a Sousaphone, At least it's got plenty of heft.
