Carvin on page 13: Main ad text: NO COMPROMISE
Eden on page 31: Main ad text: NEVER COMPROMISE
Ampeg on page 61: Main ad text: COMPROMISE NOTHING  |

NEVER COMPROMISE. EVER. NO SIR. NOT ONE IOTA. WE DON'T COMPROMISE- WHY SHOULD YOU? WE'D RATHER EAT OUR AMPS THAN COMPROMISE.
and then someone will break the cycle by saying COMPROMISE? YEAH, OKAY. |

IF IT WAS EASY TO COMPROMISE, I WOULD TAKE THE HARD ROUTE AND NOT COMPROMISE.

We bass players are always compromising. After all, we're team players (or should be). | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
