Regular people don't, you have to be special, like you have to be a super freaky nobody.I do not understand how regular people get ban hammered from here. Maybe I would if I read the forum rules, but that is not likely.

I'm not questioning a ban, just sharing a funny story about one.
I saw that someone was recently the recipient of the ban hammer and I said out loud, "I wonder what he did to get banned?" Without looking up from her book my wife said, "He probably said he doesn't like Fender." She really does pay attention.
Not that I want to 1 up you, but I do. I think my wife holds the bass player's wife of the year award (at least for 2001) when she said the following as we were walking out of a guitar center: "Joe, isn't that a Warwick Streamer (Masterman) over there... with a $499 price tag?"
Mine went with me to the Bass Boot Camp EXPO last weekend.
Hmm... we'd need to have the judges weigh in on that. Technically speaking, in a situation like that, she could be getting in the way of things. I'd say "just sayin" here, but I really hate that phrase.
On the way to the car she told me that I should go back and get the Valenti P5 that I was ogling since I've wanted one for a long time.
I was going to my gig and I had to put my cab into my buddy's van that was already full, and it just needed an inch to close the door.
So I took out my Bass and used it as a sledgehammer to get my cab to fit.
It fit, the Bass lost a little something.
But it still plays.

I like the Sire Marcus Miller bass for it's stable and accurate sound wave transfer.....![]()
So this appears to be a random thread. I can deal with that.
Gun owner finds himself without a hammer at school event — so he uses his pistol instead
I guess this is more of a bang hammer, come to think of it.
