Favorite bass misspellings

[schietschijfje]

Maruszczyk is misspelled a lot

 

[JoeWPgh]

Not bass related, but there used to be a Chinese restaurant here. At the bottom of their menu of the usual Chinese restaurant fare, it said, "Positively no substations"

"I should of screen shot that one"

Is this irony, considering the context, or something u.s. English idiomatic? Is it supposed to say I should have?

This I see often around here ("of" instead of "have") so I don't think it's irony. I file it under "common mistakes".

@CaseyVancouver I do not mean this condescendingly.

 

[BergerHead]

Air-o-Smith playing Bump!

 

[Relsom]

My favorite is

"Base Guitar For Sale".

I open these hoping for a steal, all the while knowing it's probably some crap I probably wouldn't be interested in at any price.

 

[The Rage]

Spectre or Spectral instead of Spector

 

[RyanOh]

Just read this in TB classifieds:

Amp will come with original box and power chord.

 

[TheReceder]

I've bought a lot of "Pevey Basses".
It's funny when you know they're clueless because they spell it wrong twice.

Is this a Llamaha Bass?

 

[Ultradust]

Moollon/물론 being an actual Korean word (mullon if you use the the present Revised Romanization of Korean system) that still sounds a bit exotic and unfamiliar, we understandably get a plethora of weird spellings in email inquiries when folks type things out... most likely as it sounds in their head. And although Moolon is the most common misspelling among them (probably 1 in 5 emails spell the name as such), honorable mentions also go to:

Mulon/Mulan/Molon

Malloon

Malone

 

[Lindsey Burke]

"Mikes" for sale. Or better yet, "mikes for sell". Geez!

 

[BargeOn]

Percision

 

[chadface]

The worst I heard were "Fender Provision" and "Rick-and-Baker"

Rick and baker might be my new favorite! Shake and bake baby!

What about mispronouncing them? I thought Lakland was pronounced "lack land" until recently.

And is it Mess-uh Boogie or Mace-uh Boogie?

Gay-lien or Gal-lien?

RickenBOCKer or RickenBACKer?

Soooo, how is lakland pronounced? Asking for a friend...

 

[Bodeanly]

Apparently, it's "lake-land." Maybe they couldn't find the E key? Probably named after some dude. Or maybe they were so overjoyed at the bass they created that they didn't notice until after they'd printed a bunch of copies.

Hmmm. Indubitably you are correct but curious why "have" instead of "of"?

 

[1st Bass]

Do, did, have done...
past participle.

 

[Flamingo21]

That's the first time I've encountered the word "indubitably" in conversation.

 

[MeLikeBass]

That's the first time I've encountered the word "indubitably" in conversation.

That word was a catch phrase in a TV show way back when but can not remember which TV show. I'm old so maybe it was before some of you young whipper snappers time, but maybe another old bastage(and yes I spelled it wrong on purpose, ) on here will remember what its from. Hell, it may have been a cartoon but anyway.

I think it was the Goofy Gophers, who were like a Looney Tunes take off of Warner Bros.' Chip'n'Dale.

My new Squire Vantige Mollified won't fit in the trunk of my Camero!
