The Bass RAGE Thread

Sign in to disble this ad
Post what's bugging you in regards to the bass world!!! It could be waiting on an instrument, issues with the instrument, band-related discretions, or anything else!



For me, it's waiting on my Conklin GT-7 to arrive in the mail via UPS. I live in Pennsylvania, and it's shipping all the way from California. Although it's been in shipping from there since Monday, and it's almost the due date (Friday)... It's taking FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Cue the exasperated sigh of relief*

No rage here. Most of us have waited for a bass to arrive. It gets here when it gets here. 5 days from Cali to PA is FAST! All my basses work fine. All my amps work fine. I like all the guys in my band. Sorry, no rage.

I can't afford new gear. It's more of money rage than bass rage, but rage nonetheless.

It's a bit a stretch to call it bass-related, but Flea is one of my favorite bassists, so...
The new Chili Peppers album is horrible. (in my opinion)

I have to drive 40 minutes to buy strings or order them online. And I just broke a string.

You know what makes me rage?

I keep checking the "Darrin Huff Support Group" thread and that jerk still hasn't delivered any basses for something like FIVE PLUS YEARS
