I know we're not supposed to really talk politics on Talkbass, but after the "Fenders aren't good for hard rock" comment, I'd have to quote Barney Frank to that guy: "On what planet do you spend most of your time? Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table." And judging how good an instrument would be by its model name? Should a bass be called a Rockmiester Kick Ass-o-Caster 666 or something?
I say send him a list of every hard rock/metal band that ever played a Fender or Music Man Bongo bass. Maybe after getting a phone book of epic bassists, he will straighten out. What an idiot.... However, it begs the question...
What is the best bass for hard rock?

LOL F%#& yeah! (insert devil-horn-shooting smiley here)Should a bass be called a Rockmiester Kick Ass-o-Caster 666 or something?
Well at least you only wasted a few minutes of your life, I wasted a week with this guy and actually learned the songs already.
Big mistake.
You should asked what songs he plays, then say, 'they don't use those songs in hard rock'
I hate idiots now. This guy and my guy should get together and form a bowling band.

humorous !
but does bring up a valid point aimed at answering ( like Craigslist) ads.
Don't even waste your time meeting someone with your gear in tow to "audition" without e-mailing some basic questions/answers back and forth --- no good vibes on e-mail or phone means no good vibes as a band mate.

This is what I would have done.
"Me: What kind of mic are you using?"
"Him: An SM-57"
"Me: Yeah, Shure mics aren't really good for rock."
I doubt he could even name another microphone brand.
I wouldn't say it's wasted at all. You learned a bunch of songs. Now you own them.
"John Myung of Dream Theater plays one"
"John isn't a very hard rock name. Is it some kind of Jazz band?"

Come on, everyone knows you can only build houses with Stanley Hammers. Mastercraft hammers are only good for garages and smaller structures. You can't even get a house built with a mastercraft hammer insured.....
Now a Craftsman hammer is good for some jobs but only if you use it with craftsman nails......
I long for the day people will understand it's the artist, not the tool, that determines how something sounds.

But you're from Canada; you can't like Jethro Tull.
You have to be British to like Jethro Tull!
