I cant Take this seriously

Sign in to disble this ad
I was on a site called yahooanswers where people ask questions and other people can answer them. someone asked if my chemical romance used a 6 string bass. one of the replies was

"bass player here! its a four string, there is no six string bass unless its custom, it goes from 5 strings to 8 to 12 so hes using a four string, maybe a 5 in concert for tuning reasons but probably not asix bass, unless it was a guitaron which is a spanish bass with no frets..."

I was in shock that this supposed " bass player " said there is no such thing as a six string bass but he seemed to mention a 12 string bass! what are your thoughts on this, do you think this guy really is a bass player?

I am surprised that you don't understand by now how many misinformed people exist on this planet. Just live your life and don't worry about it. There is nothing you can do.

It just annoyed me that someone doesn't see the joke in what I posted.

Probably. Just because someone plays bass it doesnt mean theyre automatically not an idiot.

First of all why were you looking up something about My chemical romance? That's the first strange thing.
But apparently this guy is ignorant.

Actually I think he meant 8 as in doubled and 12 as in tripled, but yeah he is probably incredibly ignorant. I used to lurk on Y! Answers a ton to because I had nothing else to do, but then I found TB.

If you want to hear some more people talking with great authority about subjects they know zilch about, ask for advice at your local hardware. I bet the yahoo guy was an 'under cover' guitardist.

My local shop is great, its a great get your part and leave quickly store and you can play the instruments they have for sale in there. I only have two problems with it

1. The manager knows nothing about guitars or basses, she can sing really well but knows nothing on instruments.

2. They buy the same model spector over and over again. as much as I love spector they have 4 of the exact same model but just in different colors and finishes.
