    Is my friend a bad person?

    The reason you had to lie is what you need to look at. It's never good to lie because it will be in the back of your mind forever. I use my own money for musical purchases and my wife never has anything to say except do you really need it. I have 14 basses I needed. I love them all so I do need...

    Am I too old to get started in this?

    I think if you feel up to playing then you should do it. I started bass at 43 in 1996 and love it. I played the drums from age 14 and it was hard on my shoulder and lower back so switched to bass. Not to mention it's good for your brain and thats a fact. Go for it!!

    Bass playing Gloves??????

    I bought some gloves and they lasted 10 hrs before the index finger formed a small hole. When my hands get sweaty they really help.

    Lakland 44-01 or G&L M2000 Tribute - which would you rather have?

    I have had several G&L USA L2000's and I like the 44-01 Lakland better. I feel it's like a swiss army knife of basses. Heavy but worth it. Just my opinion.

    Ever been afraid for your life at a gig?

    Yeah the Jar had a chain link fence and I had to laugh when I saw it. It was to separate the underage kids at the show. The Jar is still there with a new name. Played in Globe/Miami Az one time and our first song was by the Ramones. One guys said play us some Waylon Jennings..........we didnt...

    Basswood in instruments yay or nay

    I have a Fender Prophecy One/ Heartfield bass MIJ that is basswood and I like the unique sound. Was $178.00 so cheap but kinda cool sounding and not sounding like any of my other basses which are swamp ash, alder,mahogany and maple bodies. Just a bright unique sound....kinda cool!!

    Basswood in instruments yay or nay

    You know what i do is break some toothpicks in half and put the fat end in first and put screws back in and like you say also use a little glue in there. Works great!
