ARE SLAP HATERS PLAYER HATERS?

It could be worse. He could just whack up the distortion on his amp, start playing random **** completely out of context, then (when the audience complain) sticking his middle finger up and walking out.

this is the basses forum, for discussions directly related to a particular bass guitar model or style. your question would be more suitable in the technique forum, where i will move it presently.

then with a heavenly smile she flies away.

LOL. You're describing yourself as an angelic woman now JT? That explains the whole cross-dressing thing...

I'm sure everyone has been through an over slapping period of playing!

I have. I think, once, I actually slapped 2 notes in a row Just as well I got out of the clutches of that nasty habit...

Is there a slappers anonymous? "Hello, my name's Howark and I'm a slapaholic" (followed by general applause, tears, etc.)

Women can have mullets... I'm sure I've seen pictures of Linda McCartney from the 70s with a severe case of mulletitis...

..Lol, like in fight club!

I thought it was a "mullegina"

[Howard K]

sorry, i should have included the phonetic pronounciation of that word

femullet

"fem-you-let"

nb. or "fem-you-lay"

as opposed to "fee-mullet"

a freidn of mine got sent a book by amazon by mistake.. a bogus order online.. the book was called "Mullet - Haircut of the Gods" - SO cool!

Some dude Ive been in school with for 14 years got a mullet this past Saturday as a joke.

He was sporting it all weekend at popular (Miami, South Beach) clubs, and getting tons of girls attentions.

Apparently, the school (All guys Catholic high school with strict dress codes) thought it was soo funny they didnt mind either, and they are actually gonna let him keep it!

Its so crazy, especially when you take in to acount where this is happeneing. When you are in Miami, you might as well be in Cuba, its kinda funny how this redneck culture is taking over.

Peace
