Sign in to disble this ad
It had a bass player who had bad arthritus and he told his story about how aleve helped him. That made my day. I like it when people acknowlege bass as an istrument that takes skill to play instead of just a sound.

i also saw a beer commercial advertising Sam Adams (i think) where there was this one scene with a guy holding a black p-bass.
Coors (the beer) company has a poster of an all chrome/silver j bass that i see at the little cuban restuarants here a lot. is there some sort of relation between beer and bass?

It looks like a brand new P-bass and it also looks like it has the strings from the price tag hangin from the headstock. I think the guys name is McWeeney. I wonder if he's a TalkBass member?

I'm really glad they chose one of us, a bass player. Still, cynic that I am, I wonder if they didn't choose a professional actor and drilled him on the scale/riff he played so he would look credible.

Also, without disclaimers such as (paid actor), they can be challenged legally because this was presented as a personal testimony. |

He's a friend of mine. I worked with him for a few years and I saw his band play a few times. He's a really good bassist too. Lives in upstate New York plays nothing but P-basses and really uses Aleve.
I used to always tell him if McDonalds ever came out with a hot dog.... |
