If one day god came up to u and give you 3 choice which would you choose?

1. obtain bass playin skill almost to the jaco level, but you'll be twice as fat as you are with no chance of going slim again.

2. offer you 1million dollar cash, but you wont be able to touch a bass ever again

3. stay the same as you are now. no gain no loss.

i would choose 2. and become a guitard >

Ha Ha, some really hard ones there Brandon. Think i would go for number 1, as im quite skinny and i need to put a bit of meat on. I would just be a slightly porky virtuoso...Im in a win win situation! Hurra...!!!!

Well, I'm 6'2" and weigh under 150 pounds, so doubling my weight wouldn't exactly put me into the danger zone, but regardless, I would choose to stay the same.

I'd have to stay the same. Why mess up a good thing?

I'd starve myself for 2 months and then take option 1. If that weren't allowed I'd have to go with 3 as I like myself these days. Option 2 is out of the question. I'd rather be poor than hang up my bass.

Meh, I'd go for 2. Other instruments are fun, too. And I'll likely never get to see $1 million in my life.

Agreed. I just got a great new guitar I've been playing alot lately...and its one million dollars. It would be nice to not have to worry about the money, even though I'd still do the whole college-well paying job thing. I would make a living and could spend the million splurging on things for myself and my friends.

#1, then I would make a ton of money and sue god because he made me fat, the courts would force him to make me skinny again, then I would make a ton of money and live happily ever after

#3 for me

The thought of a 5'8", 500lb bassist makes me ill.

A million is not that much. Sure, it's a good bit. It's more than I have made so far in my life, but it's less than I'm going to make in the next 20 years (God willing).
