I guess a little of both from looking at some of the posts...
and ya I am part of the "over 25" guys myself, and "over 35"..."and over 45"...
I just was pointing out not to have this thread turn into a "holyHell does that kid suck" thread, since the OP was laughing at his "unique" description of his new toy.
and don't forget you need to know how to spin your bass properly

There are worse people to idolize than Flea. Much, much worse. And those basses are pretty stunning.
No offense, but your user name kinda throws out the irony of a direct comparison of this bass review with Sir Nigel Tufnel's review of his gear.
kid/newbie or not...the biggest FARSE on youtube is you get 20 comments on some crappy video like that which usually read:
"great job on that cover dude"
"one of the finest covers I have seen so far"
"super cool sparkly bass" << I think that's the only truth
"awesome playing bro"
"the best I have seen on youtube"
"massive sound dude"
and so on, and so on.....
why make someone happy with a bunch of total lies always makes me laugh MORE![]()
TBis really hostile when it comes to kids with expensive basses.... Yeah it's a pretty goofy arse review but he'S actually not that bad of a player... Give the kid a break, he'll eventually mature.
Gentlemen....FORGET ABOUT HIS PLAYING TALENT FOR A MOMENT ----
this thread was started out of a little humor, and naturally 30 posts in, it has become a war between "haha funny", and "leave the kid alone don't you remember what it was like when you first started" junk.
well when any of you old guys were 16, got your license and used/new car whatever...noone had to tell you where the gas filler door was??
or did you have to ask you parents "which one of these pedals makes you stop"?
the humor that some of you are NOT seeing here is not the kids playing ability, or his love for Flea or his new bass or who bought it.
BUT the kid is not the sharpest pencil in the pack, which IS just TOO funny and the whole reason I think the OP put it here......
Beat me to it!He reminds me of Ashton Kutcher so I told him so lol
I like this SX review....I actually cringe every time he clunks it down...clunk, clunk, clunk.
There are some real gems in this one.

One of my favorites is "it's got somethin... some kind of Bartolini thing in there..."

At least this kid knows what the knobs are for on his.
"Some, some kind of tone system"![]()
That kid would totally bear Flea's children if he could, wouldn't he...
But who here among us wouldn't mind bearing Geddy's children?
