There went 5 minutes of my life I can't get back !

 

[SirMjac28]

I want this played on a loop at my funeral pretty much sums up my life so far.

Much depends on the pickguard.

White pickguards sound bright
Black ones sound dark
Creme ones sound smooth
Mint ones sound crisp.
Pearloid ones sound sparkly
Tort ones sound tortally awesome

 

[wraub]

I sincerely appreciate your support.

Drink up. And, thanks.

This is not the first time I have heard this.

 

[wraub]

oh. sorry.

so: because you're broke: this thread is cheap entertainment? as i said before: i support you 100%! still, i'm going to have my first.. and by the grace of god, it won't be my last. this one's for you wraub

FYI, and not particulary apropos, but whatever...-

Your moniker reminds me of my time working in a bike shop, where "JRA" meant "just riding along..."

As in, "Honestly, I was just riding along when my headtube spontaneously erupted from the frame, right where the downtube cracked... Weird, right? Please honor my warranty..."

that's funny! and i think i am just riding along at this point in my own experience: way old, way interested (still!), and way without a warranty. ha!
when you get some money, take a tour of all the MIM beers. (corona, of course, but: tecate, modelo, dos equis, sol, pacifico, carta blanca, bohemia, montejo, yada yada. i love these guys)

they're good enough, IMO, even if you're JRA! taste wise: somewhere between 'chunky' and 'springy' ----

 

[rtav]

OP is obviously drunk. P basses sound conky, not chunky......fact.

CONKY???

 

[Spidey2112]

Huh? What do chunks sound like?

I never understand these weird words used to describe bass tone. Buttery, fat, throaty, woody, beefy, creamy...

These are not words used to describe sounds. Perhaps they can be used to describe a person or a hot meal.

Actually, my ex came to mind...

 

[Spidey2112]

P basses sound chunky, and Jazz basses sound springy.

Please provide other examples. Discuss.

Green is to green beans, as white is to rice... unless, it's Tuesday, then we have tacos...

Carrots. Rics sound like carrots. Bunnies like carrots, so:

 

[farace]

P-Basses sound like a double chocolate, double-thick milkshake that hurts your cheeks when you try to suck it through a straw, but you keep doing it anyway because it's so good.

J-Basses sound like warm butterscotch Shake-a-Puddin that sticks to the spoon even when you turn it upside-down and then it slides down your throat with a flavor and texture you never want to end.

Rics are like the best amaretto cannoli you've ever eaten, or will ever eat.

 

[Jack Butler]

In some ways I actually think some of these terms are the best you can do in trying to "describe" a tone. It's guitar instead of bass but a couple come to mind. I find Eric Johnson to have a "creamy" tone especially on cliffs of Dover. David Gilmour has a tone that I feel is kind of liquid especially on solos like comfortably numb.

 

[Bass'd on a true story]

Jaguar basses sound like over priced, unreliable vehicles.

 

[wraub]

Carrots. Rics sound like carrots. Bunnies like carrots, so:

You are officially countered with this :

and this :

and also this:

Deal with it.

 

[wraub]

She seems nice.

 

[John Wentzien]

P bass sounds good. J bass sounds gooder. Both sound very "Fendery".I suggest at least 1 of each.

 

[CatSquare]

She seems nice.

And totally hot!
