Ah, but it also denotes Great Britain. One Britain is bad enough, can you imagine how awful 1024 of them would be? Oh, the tera!

How do we know that's not pronounced yiff?

1. Anything Trace Elliot that doesn't run on Hitachi or Semelab TO3 Mosfets 🙄

2. Precisions with rounds

3. Stingrays with flats

4. Lefty players with upside down righty basses🙄

5. Righty players with upside down lefty basses😬

6. Amps with missing knobs! 

 

Phew. I feel better already getting all that irrationality out in the open. Dear Basschat, thank you for being my catharsis!

So for the same reason we pronounce jpeg as jfeg, as the p is for photographic?

Since it's an acronym, it should be JPEG, but the "P" is indeed a "P", not a "Ph" or "F".

And it's also often abbreviated to "jpg" - maybe the experts left the group?

Totally understand this, can't stand him or his godawful band.

If I want to watch a bunch of toothless, semi-naked gibbering smackheads making c**ts of themselves I'll just go into Cardiff city centre.

Amateurs compared with coalvile natives, I assure you.

Rice Pudding , looks like you’re eating a bowl of sick . I admit I have not tasted it yet , and probably never will. 
 

if I withdraw money from an ATM , I will always match the bank card to the bank I am using . My wife thinks I’m weird on this one until she tried to withdraw £100 from Santander with her HSBC card and the machine did not pay out any money, but debited her account with the withdrawal. We spent a good few hours in HSBC sorting this mess out .

 

People who repeatedly tell me they’ve only payed 30 quid for there guitars / basses , and how those who’ve bought more expensive instruments have been ripped off .

Good point! It's a bass...... guitar! Not a double bass and part of the violin family.... it's a guitar, own it and be proud!

I do hate people not knowing history. Double bass belongs to gamba family. Burn those violins. 

 

And stop using that g-word. It's an electric bass.
