You will be forced to choose and once you do, you will never be allowed to go back to the way things were before.

| | | | The fact that this question is being asked in the first place, even by a beginner, frightens me.
I have a question: That big yellow thing in the sky, is it the same thing as the big white thing that comes out at night? |

The Jazz is like being sliced by a ninja sword.

| | | | J bass is for girls and P bass is for manly men. Choose wisely.

Maybe he could be the chosen one that brings P-Bass and J-Bass lovers together in peace and harmony but you probably just killed that. Way to go Phalex.
