Sign in to disble this ad
I ahve this friend (who sucks ass at guitar IMO) who always talks smack about the bass, like Its such a newb instrument, you can't even hear it, etc. SO what can I say to turn those insults around towards him? Bear in mind he sucks at what he does. |

Easy, huh? Yeah, I can see that. Your mom found me easy to use too.

That'll hit'em where it hurts, trust me. |

Find the biggest bass amp you can, take it outside his window, crank it and hit a low B. SOMETHING's gotta fall off shelves.
Usually a 'your mom was easy' type comeback works a charm, works even better if he has a sister in my experience.

Either way, don't wait for him. |

I find the "what-are-you-smoking?" look much more effective than words could ever be.
If he's empathetic, he'll pick up what you're trying to communicate and then try to justify his comments some more.
Apply the "what-are-you-smoking?" look again with gusto. |

then ask if he can solo on anything other than a minor pentatonic scale. |
