I was at the Southcenter GC Friday night from 7-8PM in the bass section. I was quietly playing a Pedulla, a Warwick, and a couple Fenders. Not all at once, I alternated between them. 
Before I say anything more, I want to know if any other TB'ers were in that GC the same time I was?

I used to live in Maple Valley, I visited Southcenter more often then. |

I'll be very interested to find out if one of "us" was in there when I was.

I realize that there are way more people who play bass that do not post here than do, so I really doubt it was a TB'er. But just in case, I want to see if it was a TB'er. If no one comes forward soon, I'll post what I saw and heard.
I never got the candy. Here is a link with a picture: Dare Spearmint Scotch Mints. I need three bags. Let me know how much it is, and I can send you some cash to cover it.

As I am experimenting quietly with a nice looking Marcus Miller Jazz through a Walkabout 12" combo, I hear some loud mouth come in the store talking about bass guitars to his completely ignorant friends and girflriend. It's the typical garbage you hear from punks who think they know everything about basses.
A few seconds later I hear something that completely blows me away.......shocked is the right word. It sounds to me like someone has picked up a bass and is slamming it on the ground repeatedly to exorcise some demons from it. It startled/scared me. He is trying to slap and pop, and he is seriously pounding on the bass like he wants to break it. It sounds like crap, but he doesn't stop. In an effort to save any more basses within his reach from this torment, I walk over and grab a really nice Warwick Thumb and rescue it to my side. He moves on to a Pedulla, and proceeds to beat it like a Neanderthal.
The volume stays at full blast, the beatings continue for another few minutes. He works over all the Stingrays on the wall, the Pedulla, and the other couple Warwicks I was not able to rescue. When he is done, his friends start telling him how awesome he is. He then mutters something about the basses being garbage, and how they need to check out another bass store.
If you are the person I am talking about....what in the world were you thinking????????????? Please learn some basic playing skills before you start pounding away on someone elses gear. Finally, you should go back and buy one of those basses you trashed that night. I checked them out after you left.

If I had been there, I might have been tempted to briefly visit the drum section and return with a boom stand and rack mount stand ... and we could have proceeded to give this guy his first real bass lesson

I knew right away it was none of them. I have my suspicions about a few others though. I have no chance now of knowing who it was if they do post here.

(It's a bass off... check for gas leaks), but then I realize that they wouldn't get it. If they think they are good enough to be that loud, they have no idea what good is.
