EDIT: The original post is below. I've since dropped the age requirement, after numerous requests (some of them from real bastards!).

Here's the deal: to be a member you have to be at least 50, and admittedly somewhat of a bastard. Being as goofy as a soup sandwich also helps.

Our motto - "Get off my stage!"

I've got #1. Anybody want to go #2?

And assign your own d*mn numbers!

I'm only 47, so I'll have to wait 3 years.
Goofiness already taken care of.

Can't join yet...but soon...

I think I would apply for a number when I can't carry my rig anymore...If I'm still able to do that, I don't consider myself old.

I make the age requirement - just hit 52, but I'm not sure how much of a bastard I am. I do like pretending I'm a bastard, but that's more because I like acting goofy to amuse the family.

I'm 57, grumpy, play a late 60's Gibson shorty (lefty) which I've had since......well, the late 60's, can't slap (and don't want to learn), and just might be a bit of a bastard.....I guess you had better sign me up!

I'm 55. I play bass (have since '69). I'm a bastard. The guys in the band call me "PHB" ... pointy haired boss (from Dilbert).

I'm 59 next week. Blew up my Peavey 400B amp last week. GRUMPY???? never let it be said. Cant stand these smart arses who slap and play high notes all the time!! Bass is for kickin people in the goolies, not to be heard in ears. What? I cant hear too well anymore.

...I have 5 years to go, but I'm qualified otherwise...and are you sure that isn't a basketball helmet you're referring to?
