I know my pink one always gets lots of attention. | Bro. I have a slew of uglier shirts than the one in my profile. I wear them with great pride. When I was working, my daily attire was Levis and a Hawaiian shirt. I tried to set an example for my employees. I donned the monkey suit only for client meetings.

If those are the type of women that pklima has giving him advice/attending shows/singing and performing/et cetera and so forth, then any sort of interaction with some eye candy like that is worth it. As long as its a few of the ones you like and not something from the Daisy Rock catalog, then your good
I honestly can't see a woman liking, for example a Bongo or a Carl Thompson, which I think both are flipping cool. If you were to ask my wife, she will tell you my P bass looks boring and my Musicmaster looks like a squatting midget.

tl;dr there goes my future sparkle shell pink bass project. :/
nah, I'd rather be happy.

Of course, it's good to talk to one afterward also.
I can't really think of a time when it's bad to talk to a pretty girl.

That's one way to wake up one day and have a LOT of basses.

It just shows up secretly and if questioned, I say "that bass? Ive had that for a long time! You just never noticed! Hey, have you lost weight?"

Badda bing problem solved | Yeah. There's definitely a reason why I recommend asking somebody who's not close enough to you to care how much you spend.

| | | | I have laughed at this thread for days. Nobody here ever lets "looks" figure in when they buy a bass; its all about tone and playability. All those fancy wood tops, custom colors, tort guards, etc., - they just make the bass sound better. In our fit and finish QC debates, cosmetic issues never figure into the picture, because cosmetic issues don't affect tone or playability. Bad neck pockets affect tone - everybody knows that.
Keep up the good work, talkbass. We don't need to pick one side of the fence; that is what gates are for. |
