I guess I hate when I talk to a bassist and ask what they play to which they reply "Umm I dunno, but it has two pickups" and then I will see it sometime later and its a Pbass.

was doing a gig with some good friends of ours and their bassist is a great guy but during the soundcheck his amp blew. Rather than getting mine which would take half an hour as I had just left mine so would of been fine to go back and get as we had loads of time, he let the soundguy plug straight into a DI and didnt bother with any kind of monitor on stage for us.
Never forgiven him for that  |

I have like, 6. 3 of which are in a loop and two are always on.
The other one is a tuner!

Me- Hey, you're the bassist aren't you?
Bassist- Yeah, you play yourself?
Me- been playing about a year...
Bassist- What bass do you play?
Me- Shergold Marathon
Bassist- I've never heard of them. Anyway, everyone knows Fenders are the best- anything else is just rubbish.
Me- Yeah, that's why my bass is 31 years old and still going!
Bassist- Uh..........
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Me: Im poor, I live in a college dorm with a noize nazi next door, I dont have the money or the need for bigger stuff, and I love my GSR200. Kiss my ass.
Other person: Yeah but if you were good you would have bigger equipment.
Me: *plugs in and plays*
Other person: O I think I need to go practice some more.
Me:I do to. Now get the hell out of my room!

Also another guy I know has a Rickenbacher 4003, and marshall stack that was just literally handed to him. He wont learn how to play it.

| | | | I hate it when some players say, "Thereīs a best player in the world." I also hate it when they make such a HUGE deal about playing a fretless like itīs impossible. I can understand if they have a bit of fear and questioning of their skill, but in all honest it gets annoying.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Earth | | This happened at a jam we were hosting when I was showing another bassist how to use my rig.
Other bassist "You should set your amp like this..." (makes motions with his hands)
Me (caught off guard) "Huh? Why?"
Other bassist "Because it will sound better" (starts adjusting every knob on my amp without playing a thing) "see.." then shakily plays a lead type riff that with his new 'enhancements' makes my normally smooth sounding rig emit noises best described as farting in a trash can.
Me "Oh, right... ...but that won't fit with what my band does."
Other bassist (dumb look) "...oh..."
Me  He never even played a note before adjusting the amp! ***  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
