LOL good read by the end. The moral of the story is dont buy a cheap chinese bass unless you want to end up an angry bitter empty husk of a bass player.

Oh - I notice the humour in this didn't escape Mr. Fitzgerald - who posted a clever descriptive photo.

Geez, I had to look this one up:

I have to say you guys are GREAT!! This is by far the most entertaining web site I visit - probably the most fun in my day.

Oh, you just had to dredge that up! Well, at least you were entertained. Ah yes, gwaltrip and me. It was only after a while that I learned that I was arguing with a white supremacist-- oh, excuse me, he's a "neo confederate." No joke.

I can't recall exactly but I was able to match where he lives with some postings. Let Google do the work. Gary Waltrip, neo-confederate, slavery, etc. It may make you sick.

And he was a fan of chinese basses?

Go figure.
