Soulfinger Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 [quote name='thumbo' post='85121' date='Nov 7 2007, 09:40 PM']I like these basses a lot and would buy one as a back up for my 70's P if it wasn't for that hideous bat thing on the body.[/quote]+ 1. IHMO it would be a smart move by Squier to offer that bass with traditional 12th fret dots and supply the red bat as a sticker for those who absolutely have to mimick that Wentz look. I wouldn´t mind the lack of a tone knob personally - I always have the tone wide open on my Ps anyway (and I don´t even play punk). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumpet_tramp Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 [quote name='parker_muse' post='85230' date='Nov 8 2007, 07:58 AM']I can't see it in him to be honest, hes an up his arse arrogant f****r. But the girls and boys of the modern scene adore him non the less. The good thing about pete wentz is he will get more young people in to bass![/quote] Best thing any one has ever said him the little c*nt Mike Dirnt sig one looks cooler!

ashevans09 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 +1 to what soulfinger said. I would buy one if it didn't have the bat on, I love the whole Pbass Black/tort/maple look. Also I got to play one of these at my local store, pretty damn tasty, i must say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I've not heard the dirnt plugged in but it feels really nice to play. i just don't like the star on it. also I'm a teenager and I don't like Pete Wentze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parker_muse Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I think we are the only ones! I had an arguement with a kid in my class about him 'He can't play bass, he arrogant, up his arse and hes an idiot who i'd happily wipe of my shoe' 'Yeah, but he's hot so i don't care. AND HE IS THE BEST BASSIST EVER OLOL!!!!1111' Thats pretty much how it went. 'AND HE IS THE BEST BASSIST EVER' I hate it when the mini moshers say that. It makes me cringe.

Tait Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) I've heard people say they want to start playing bass because of Pete Wentz. I don't understand how hes different to any of the othe bassists that play roots all day long. Edited November 11, 2007 by lwtait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 it's often musicians who look good that inspire people to emulate them- see also Nikki Sixx, Twiggy Ramirez. whether they're actually good musicians doesn't really come into it. see also all the women who reckon Russell Brand's "the best comedian eva!", and pathetic males who use his lame-speak....

GRANK0R Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 on a bass a tone knob is of more use than a volume I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 yeah, i prefer the fender mike dirnt to the squier any day. i don't like graphics on basses, it makes them look tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJW Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 why is Pete Wentz famous? He isn't even the singer. Yet somehow, he gets more coverage in all their videos, because he swings his bass around his head and jumps about like a twerp. Grrrr....
