No. I don't think I overreached at all. I used the information he offered to form an educated opinion (and in his "what, maybe 20 sentences" he gave more than enough information to work with). As I've said, I still stand firmly by my previous statements. You apparently disagree with me. I'm...

Understood, hehe. Sorry to have missed it. :sorry:

I have. Yes. And if the OP had turned down the job because of something he couldn't have known about until the "interview", then perhaps I'd feel differently. If the band was just terrible... If the bandmates were a bunch of unbearable jerks... If they HAD changed the songs at the last...

Understood. And you may choose to remember anything you like. But, assuming his profile pic is a pic of himself, he's plenty old enough to have had a job or two in his lifetime and, as such, have at least some sort of understanding about how to act professionally; first gig or not. My point...

Basses, no. Amps, yes. I own nothing but Ampeg. I have, in the past, owned a few others, but I've always come back home. I know what I like, and I like me some Ampeg.

...lol. Wow. I mean, did they change up the "type of music they're playing" between offering you the audition and the actual audition? I would assume not. Right? You were given a list of songs to learn. You half-heartedly learned the songs. You went to the audition, knowing exactly what...

I mean... it kinda does. ;) lol

IMHO, Yes. You may very well be. lol Honestly, don't butcher this bass. I mean... look, it's yours. So you can do whatever you want. But there is no way in this universe that I'd do a mod like that on a bass like that. Listen... if you dropped it and broke the headstock off, or even broke...

No question... A Rockhewer.

I think you're missing the point. It's not a matter of hanging your career on it. It's a matter of wanting to be as good as you can be. It's a matter of self respect. I mean... if I didn't care, at least a little, about living up to my potential and making the most of my talent I'd feel like...

+1 I couldn't agree more. What I was thinking while reading the OP's paragraph is, "It's bad enough that so many people have the mentality, 'Meh, it's just a bass part. Who cares?' It's exponentially worse when someone who is supposed to be a bassist thinks this way." I thought several...

I read over this title 3 different times before I realized you weren't saying, "How much time passes from one time you tune your bass at a gig before things start sounding obviously out of tune?" I was thinking, "Man... this guy needs some better quality tuners. I can tune and I'm pretty much...

+1

And yet... you waste your precious practice time to comment. Odd. Troll much? Oh, I'm sorry... I meant pactice time.

I was reading through the posts and I wanted to say something to talk you out of it. Micro rig. Micro bass. Anything... until I read your post on page two when you said your mind was made up. I wish you the best, dude. Thoughts and prayers and all that stuff. And remember, never say...
