Changing Screen name!

If you can, change it to Two Fingers.

Close! 3 fingers would be closer to the truth. And yes this IS my hand.
 
Why do you hate Strats so much? This is just uncalled for. I don't understand. Explain yourself.

Weird I posted a response twice and now I can't find it!

Well its simple and I will give u the full story.

I was orginally on UBP and went by the name Big Bottom which I loved. However, when I came here that and everything else I could imagine was taken so I tried Strat Hater to be different and to show I am a bassist not a guitarist.

The truth is my favorite guitar is a strat and if my hands were not so arthritic that I could play a 6 string that's all I would own. But since my hands are so stiff and joints ache so much I totally gave up on 6 string. I just find bass a perfect match for me.

So to reiterate I love stratocasters very much and just chose that name because I hate names like big bottom23423 and the like.

I wish I could change it because I'm sick of telling the story lol

Man, I still can't believe you hate strats so much. :cigar:
 
Wow... had no idea. I'd say sorry about that but I have a feeling you're doing just fine!
Did a Strat by any chance do that to you :)?

Lol. Don't apologize I do just fine. In fact it's what got me back into playing. I stopped playing and totally hated music for almost 12 years. But had this accident while oiling a chain on a truck when my glove got caught and dragged it through the sprocket. The entire hand got crushed so I started to play for therapy.

Biggest thing that upsets me is that I used to have a 3 finger technique. However, losing one of those fingers kinda sent me back to basics to reteach myself to pla with just the two. See I can't use my pinky for :poop:. Also I used to be pretty good at slap. Now I still try but suck.

I'm just kidding with you. It's cool. lol
My first electric guitar was a strat, though. You hurt my feelings.
