its not a guitar

[elavate7]

I don't understand when I'm outside playing my acouctic bass, people walk up to me and say "play some Joni hindrix" LOL. That happened about 3 times LOL. I say "its a bass" they say, I know. Smh

Your outside playing an acoustic bass guitar? I think that is the real issue here...

Your neighbours don't want to hear you "shred" the intro to crazy train...

If it is an upright.... well then walk them out with a nice smooth bass line...

[icecycle66]

Just start wailng on the E.
Go nutso ballistic, on open E.

Then treat them like a fool for not recognizing the song.

joni hindrix was a babe

Jimi did indeed play bass on some of his material. Learn those and you will have something when they request Hendrix.

I think they are making fun of you.

Unless you're playing an upright, it is, in fact a guitar.

I stopped caring what people call it. A Bass is a fish. A Bass Guitar is the thing we play.

[Toastfuzz]

I've come to call it b@ss. Pronounced "Batssssss." Just to ensure 100% that nobody knows what I'm talking about, instead of just 25% or so.

The bass GUITAR is part of the GUITAR family. So it is in fact a GUITAR.

3 different people asked you to play "Joni Hendrix"?

[droo46]

How can you tell a troll from a stupid person? Throw them in water. If they float, it's a troll.

You're on a bass forum and can't spell "acoustic" or "Jimi Hendrix", so maybe you should stop complaining about other people's lack of knowledge...

To be fair the later of those examples was in fact just paraphrase.

[fallnreverse]

get a 6 string and just play the guitar line to castles made of sand the intro at least lol

Uh, later fits just fine too. As in, the later example in the OP.
