I don't know about any of the other 30+ bass dad's out there, but this really does ring true

My son has asked me to turn down the bass, or turn down my music many times....
(40 y.o. single father with 5 y.o. son)

One time was when I was practicing on the string bass, and I said "I can't turn it down, there's no volume on this one." He thought that was funny. |

And man, the real bummer is... I'm not sure where I went wrong, but though her best friend digsAlice Cooper and STP, I'm afraid my li'l sweetie is only into "Disney Pop" stuff.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: Rockville, MD | | | I really don't remember my kids ever saying that (maybe I couldn't hear them), but they're grown and gone now. I certainly have heard my wife ask me to turn it down. It also might help that I've had a number of bands practice at my place for the last 30 years, so my playing alone isn't near the deafening volume some of my bands have played at. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
