Do u hate bass and bass players!?

[DudeistMonk]

Most ironic to me is the fact that on half the threads on this forum we complain about "This guitard, or that guitard", and yet when someone insults bassists on a guitar forum, it's unacceptable. I think a little brotherly love needs to be extended to guitarists on this forum instead of all the hatred and ridiculous sterotypes... It's not like anyone goes around calling us basstards all the time.

Yeah but I think we avoid sweeping generalizations like that here at TB, I know I do...I would never call either of my current guitar players guitards, they are both very knowledgeable and play very well....But that guy I auditioned for who though it was a good idea not to tune cause "nobody does that anyway, lets just play" he was a guitard.

I think if someone posted what he did on TB about guitarists TB would respond similarly to the way our 6 string friends did.

"CONSTIFIES"

... enough said.

this is my new favorite word, and i will use it often...just as soon as i figure out a definition for it

seriously, though, i find the practice of calling guitarists "guitards" and drummers "dummers" to be a quite annoying habit of tb'ers.

Well, honestly, most guitards deserve it. At least 75% of the guitarists that I've met are hacks, and are delusional in what they think constitutes good music. At the same time, at least 75% of the basstards that I've met also have their heads up their asses musically. And, this is after I've really made an effort to associate myself with other musicians who "get it."

While I do think I 'get it,' I'm also an old fogey who's ship's already sailed - I learned it too late in life, and am damned to wander the musical streets panhandling for the scraps of an audience...

Therefore, ergo, ipso facto, almost all "musicians" that I've met are hacks. Certainly not all, and those guys deserve praise. However, the vast majority of us musicians don't "get it," will probably never "get it," and are smoking crack if they think they're going to 'make it big.' The numbers support this theory...

Actually, by his profile, he's already 20. And he's Canadian. I'm so sorry. :scowl:

Im embarrassed lol

 

[SMILEYSIXX]

I love how... unbelievably stupid this guy is. He leaves out the bass when mixing music... I bet that sounds great. Ahh and this is why I slowly lose faith in humanity.

..i have to wonder,
if someone came onto talk bass and posted a thread about how much they hate guitarists, styled exactly the same way as this guy's thread..
..would we defend guitar players?

Heres a little message from us ..........

 

[Slaine01]

And if he dont like it he can take it up with my new Bass-Tech

 

[plankspanker13]

The pic of the cats is priceless.

 

[Slaine01]

you dont think the OP is actually...no it couldn't be ...could it?????

"...I sort have a reputation around town. I'm just an average guitarist. Nothing special but in a small town people talk all sorts of silly things like when he plays solos the nails in coffins come flying out...he raises the dead with his solos...or some crap like that. ......"

I think our "monster strings" frak him out.

+1, sounds to me like an obvious case of string envy

 

[pepper1bass]

I can respect people for their opinions, but if you are going to belittle someone's talent or passion please learn to spell. Look's like someone didn't get enough hugs as a child.

 

[wshines1892]

I bow down to his comprehension of rhythm, spelling, grammar, and use of a non minor scale....except not. Why is it that every guitar player who grasps what a minor key is thinks they're God?

 

[fenderfunker]

This person, I won't dignify him by calling him a guitarist, is a perfect advertisment for condoms. Not all people should have the right to procreate; Mr and Mrs Hitler, and this guys parents. I guess he's just building himself up by puting others down. He " Barley constifies a humen beeing".

 

[KeiBau]

I wondered if that guy was joking. Nah, I think he was serious. But I like the replies, especially this one.

He got banned for this too. I have regained my faith in guitarists. Heck, there are many guitarists who have a brain. The problem is people only voice the lemons.

 

[cynical-rabbit]

I agree with you though, everyone's upset like someone peed in their corn flakes.

I think this is funnier than the post.

 

[Beginner Bass]

He's so punk, he dropped out of school. And his grammar shows it. Though it looks more like he dropped out of elementary school than it does high school. Also, I used my old UG account (from before I converted to TB) just to tear into him on his profile. Not one comment didn't have to do with that thread. We all get our 15 minutes of fame, or, in his case, infamy.

 

[tdogg]

Well a distortion pedal is a great replacement for talent. Just as the internet is a great replacement for intelligence.

this just became my quote of the day. thank you.

Yep, that's us... just a bunch of inglourious basstards!
