This aught to be a sticky thread

Sign in to disble this ad
Not that anybody would ever actually read it if it were
Post your favorite (frequently asked) question. add humor to taste. I'll start.

OP Question:
Hi.
I'm new here. and I need your help. I have a choice between a SX and a USA P bass?. I don't know which it right for me. Can anybody tell me the difference between the two?
Thanks
Answer:
Wow. it's only been 6 minutes since the last question like that. made you should search first.
OP:
I did a search and didn't find anything.
Answer:
Well, maybe thats cause your stupid! Or 12, or stupid AND 12.
OP:
Well excuse me for asking a question! I really would like to know which is better. And I'm a 14 year old girl by the way.
Answer:
I'm so happy with my SX that i would put it up against anything that cost 180 times as much. It really is the bee's knees It's built way better than any Feadora or Sadowskie, and sounds as good as anything else for the music I play. And I only payed $68 for it SCORE!!!



NEXT!

Q: How can I make my bass sound like Geddy Lee? Marcus Miller? Flea? etc.
A: It's all in the hands, man.
Q: But I'm playing a no-name copy of a beatle bass with a warped neck and broken volume control.
A: IT DOESN'T MATTER! IT'S ALL IN THE HANDS! Those guys are gods. They could get their trademark sounds even if they played a washtub bass without a string. Don't waste your time on technology, man!

A. (RC Collins) Without a doubt, the Electro Harmonix Bass Big Muff!
A. (Thunderscreech) Tech 21 XXLB!

Or Justin Chancellor

Or Timmy C

Or Cliff Burton

Q: What is it with you guys and carrots?

A: We can't answer this question, because if we answer it enough times, eventually people will stop asking it, and then it won't be any fun. Besides, you had to be there.

A: Because you can't make stew with pickles.

This thread has infinate material to draw upon...very funny so far. By the way, I have a 15 watt amp and my band is doing a support in a football stadium, will it be loud enough?
Or do I need more carrots?

If I put flats on my SX and play with a pic, will I sound cool? Ive been a bass player for 3 days now and my girlfriend said she will leave me if I don't get a real job, she won't believe that a rock star is a real job. OMG, she is so shelfish.
