A few posting exchanges earlier today led me to this thought.
Is there a connection between the bass you play and the beer you drink in terms of "not going with the flow"?
A few definitions here (didn't want to clutter up the poll):
-Common beers would be Bud, Miller, Coors, and anything you can get in something larger than a 12-pack of cans.
-Craft beers would be from smaller breweries (if you're picking this, I don't need to go any farther).
-Common basses would be Fenders, Gibsons, Rics, and almost anything you'd fully expect to see on the wall at GC.
-Esoteric basses would be makers few people outside the bass world have ever heard of (Nordstrand, Conklin, Mike Lull, Pensa-Suhr, Bee, F, Rob Allen, you get the idea).
Hoping the poll covers most bases (basses?). Not an endorsement at all; just wondering is all.
I tend to love almost all basses but prefer craft beer (also known as Micros). Your turn.

| | Reserved for future witty use... | | | | | I dunno if my bass is "Common", it's a Fender, but I rarely see other people with one.
I do like a good craft beer. New Belgium 1554 is my current beer of choice.

I've ordered custom basses before but they don't quite do it for me (I currently have one in the works, third time is a charm hopefully), but I love my 3 off-the-shelf basses. However, with beer I'm a super snob. Sam Adams is about as lowbrow as I go when it comes to such things.
