Ban Hammer

My thought processes may be incorrect, but this is what I've learned from seeing others get hit by the hammer.
  1. Don't bash Fender
  2. P basses are good. J basses are versatile. You can only start a thread about it once. The subject can be brought up daily as long as comes from different members.
  3. A poster has more wiggle room if they frequently discuss buying gear, because ad revenue is important.
  4. Once you are on the poopie list, every word you type will come under heavy scrutiny.

1. Don't bash anything. If mod's see people bashing a brand we'll address it. We cannot physically see every post made on this site, we rely on reported posts a lot. If you see something, report it.
2. It would be much more convenient if people learned how to search.
3. That's the first I've heard of that. Some people that are longer with us constantly talked about buying gear.
4. This may be true, but unintentional.

The rules really aren't hard to follow. Thousands of people follow them every day.
 
She has her hobbies. Her scrapbooking collection rivals my basses, but my basses have resale value.

Yeah, no. Had nothin' to do with Fender, or any other kind of bashing.

Hold my beer and watch this...

1. Fenders look weird.
2. My 143rd post on the subject: P basses are trash, J basses are a one trick pony.
3. I'd buy a P bass but they are all trash. I'd buy a J bass, but what can you do with them that you can't do with a P?
4. The poopie list is a myth.
5. What the hell? Did you drink my beer??
And in case your sarcasm filter is broken and your business is too serious...:woot::laugh::D:hyper:

Accidental inclusion of quote by RichSnyder. Sorry man. Had nothing to do with your post.

For some reason when I first saw your user name I thought it was "Old Garage Bender". I'm not sure what that would mean, one who bends garages? What would that even look like? Like spoon-bending only bigger and crunchier?
A Garage Bender is when you say to your Lady, "I am going to the garage", and you disappear for a few hours. Later you will come back as proud as can be with what you have created.
The creation will be something that makes your Lady say, " :rollno: ", then she goes into the house and :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: .
Your buddy's will say, "Hell ya! That is sweet".
And you say, "Hold my beer and watch this..."
