Oh wow. I misinterpreted what you said. I thought you were offended that this forum thinks that a fake bass is cool and I thought you were an uptight prick. Glad to know what you're not.
I've seen the fake bass/Ric copy/etc. prigs in action, I'm not one, however, that doesn't mean I'm not a prick! Anyway, looks like I'm going to have to keep a closer look on trash day.....
