    Things you will *never* hear bass players say

    Saw this and immediately thought of this: Gene Krupa-Big Noise From Winnetka - YouTube The whole thing is awesome, but Gene gets his bass on starting at 2:28

    Why?

    It's like what Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say, "Well it just goes to show you, it's always something! You either got a toenail in your hamburger or toilet paper clinging to your shoe."

    Best flats for a P poll

    Don't see Rotosound 88s on the list. I like the sound I get from them on my MIM Jazz fretless. I know, not a P, but I have TIs on my P and love the sound from them, but the OP said those didn't do it for him.

    Who inspired you to play bass, Paul McCartney or Paul McCartney?

    Cancelled Fender Custom Shop order

    Yeah, COVID-19 screwed up the neck and the wood in the body. Please. What part of the Custom Shop build is coming from China or the Far East? That's usually the excuse. And it is an excuse. Fender isn't the only one peddling it. La-Z-Boy has been telling its customers that it will take 6 months...

    So, what were you doing 30 years ago?

    I think I might have cared more when I read that Alan Longmuir died, but I'm not sure. I'll check and get back to you on it. Talk about a group that ruined everything....

    Intentional irony: A good bassist on an inexpensive bass

    I have two "low-end" basses - a Squier Bass VI and an Epiphone EB-3. They both say so on the headstock. What the headstock doesn't say is that both of the basses have been upgraded and modified. The Bass VI now has a bone nut, upgraded pots, Mastery bridge and trem, and Lolar pick ups. The EB-3...

    Still my favorite out of all the basses I own.

    5 String stigma?

    Play what makes you happy. I'm adjusting to my Bass VI and loving it. Yeah, not really the same as I haven't added a lower string, but I still get looks from time to time.

    Most Disappointing purchase

    You must not have been paying attention when Obi Wan Kenobi told you, "These are not the basses you're looking for."

    I predict I will be fired by the end of weekend

    Al Srewart said it best: Nothing that's forced can ever be right. If it doesn't come naturally, leave it.
