    Are the top of the line Squiers better than the lower line Fenders? Is it true?

    Thats intersesting I didn't know that. Guess it's like how things made in Japan used to be considered crap in the 60's. This shows how much a name means.. I just hear Fender and if it's vintage, must be good.

    I like my MIM Fender but with a little upgrades, some hipshot tuners, bridge, etc.. They turn out pretty nice.. And if once you disassemble the thing and put it back together, it's now essentially "made in america" again :)

    Do Schools Kill Creativity?

    It's not the school's responsiblity. The people who will be the dancers, singers, will do so because they just do. They'll learn it with friends and family. They'll be from all walks of life. Schools only produce more corporate creativity and I'm fine without that.

    Blown off.

    Well at least you only wasted a few minutes of your life, I wasted a week with this guy and actually learned the songs already. Big mistake. You should asked what songs he plays, then say, 'they don't use those songs in hard rock' I hate idiots now. This guy and my guy should get together...

    Should I have gotten pissed?

    Actually we're both pretty new to it, and it was a lot more than a few conversations. He sent like .. I dunno.. 20 emails total over a few weeks. We met, called.. set up time to plug in. I had like 15 songs learned... Then, I got the sudden 'we won't work' email. I feel like I should've...

    Should I have gotten pissed?

    Ok sorry, A Flake. Much easier to say than that whole story. Not just flake, but an insecure, stringing me along for weeks, then day before actually plugging in, 'rejects me first before I could reject them'. Oh well, I'm over it... Guess it is just like dating.

    Should I have gotten pissed?

    Well, this is a dumb question.. as I just "am" pissed.. (or "was".. not so much now) Well, basically I got a taste of rejection as this dude bailed suddenly, telling me flat out.. blah blah not gonna work.. etc. This is after a week of communications that were all good.. you know. That's...

    The shy Bassist, should I join a band

    I'm an older guy and I'm still shy ;P. Start small, then work your way up. But don't start too big... don't feel a need to 'jump in the deep ends' and go to some awesome band you're not ready for. That's about all I can say
