Sign in to disble this ad
looking for some creative ideas here...hehe
1. you can play with your bass for 15 minutes, put it down, pick it up 30 minutes later and finger it again, and it will never complain or turn you down.
2. Your bass never asks if its "too fat"
3. Your bass never asks if you preferred your "ex-bass" that you had in college.
4. Your bass doesn't care if you watch football while you play with it.
5. Your bass won't sag after 20 years.
6. Your bass never says "you used to be sooooooo romantic!!" |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Indianapolis | | | you can turn down the volume on your bass
you can grip your bass tightly around the neck.
you can get your bass' neck straightened as it gets older.
you can lock your bass in a case.
most amps have a mute button.
most basses have a trade-in value.
strap locks, baby! |
