I don't know if a kilt is any better than a skirt....especially if you wear the kilt CORRECTLY...



Oh, and please don't compare our basses to haggis...having lived in Scotland at one time, I would be quite offended by that comparison...

I do have, and often wear a kilt. Maybe to this weekend's gig.

I'll see if I have some pics.


Oh, and I prefer my Haggis with a pint of Heavy and a jacket potato.

Well, I guess since William Wallace was known to wear a kilt, it definitely ain't no sissy thing!

Oh, having been a resident of the great land of Scotland at one time, and having a sister who was born in Edinburgh, I would never in a trillion years question the manhood of a Scot in a kilt! (...as I know full well, it would not be well received, and I'd be on the spot to defend my own manhood immediately thereafter! )

However, that does not change my desire to NOT SEE any male in said garment, at any time!

ESPECIALLY a mini-kilt!

Those Kilt wearing Irishmen are just as likely to kick your butt as well.

If I was going to poke fun at either a Scot or Irish man in a kilt I would first make sure I had a good escape route.

Thanks!

After several gigs and a couple of auditions, I have come to the realization that this is probably the best bass I have ever owned. It's prefect for every situation--rock, blues, funk, jazz, R&B--everything I play anyway. I use an Eden rig and can run both flat, which I find simply amazing.

That being said, I'm still getting used to the string spacing and the C string. I sometimes find myself playing either a 5th down or a 4th up. It's only a matter of time, and practice of course, but I will get it.

One other thing--it is a "Chick Magnet." I've gotten more compliments (if you know what I mean) on this bass than my old Ric or Covette Yellow Kubicki! Man--this thing is dead sexy.
