I’m gonna live forever!!!

Guitar owners rejoice! Can't relate. I'm a bass PLAYER

We are all guitarists here. BASS guitarists yes, but still guitarists. Unless you play upright exclusively, in which case you'd be a (bass) violinist.

Oh man...the "Doctor" pun names I wanna post here, but would probably get me banned

So indulging in GAS extends your LIFE!

No, you need to FART (Fulfill All Ravenous Thoughts).

I wonder if just tinkering and modding to improve the guitars/basses you have will get you half way to immortal?

That sounds like a long time so I'd take the compromise.

I plan to live forever. So far, so good.

I showed this to my accountant. She said, "nice try."

You should have heard my wife's estimation of my life expectancy would be if I bought a new guitar….

Ooohhhh! was this from a NEWSPAPER ??? (sarcasm intended)

 

[Boneless]

Holy JPEG artifacting!

I don't touch guitars or xylophones or accordions or hurdy gurdys. Only electric basses.

The last "new" bass I bought was in 2013 so I better buy another "new" one to go along with the 5 "used" ones I've bought since then.

New BASS adds more years than a plain electric guitar. That's because everyone knows that Bass Players have the rhythm and the thump, so a bass guitar leads to a more ..... active ...... lifestyle.

"After a 3-year study, purchasing a guitar adds years to your life."

Yeah ... at least 3.

Adds even more to the luthier's life.

NEW HAND BUILT guitar
A FINE guitar
Well, so much for buying production made guitar from GC. I guess my fender and Sterling basses are not going to help.
It did say a "group of struggling luthiers" No wonder it says to buy a "hand built fine guitar"

Please, explain to me how a "bass" that's not an upright isn't a guitar.

Sure. When Leo Fender first released his new invention in 1951, his concept was to take an upright bass (which he referred to as "the doghouse") and make it more portable and louder- by amplifying it. For the first few years (according to Fender literature at the time) it was referred to as the "new bass". People eventually started referring to this instrument as "fender bass". Like "he doesn't play upright, he plays Fender bass". There's even audio of a live recording of James Jamerson where they announce him as "James Jamerson, Fender Bass". Various books have been written on the subject.

I believe Dr. Jack Mehoff of MIT came up with those same conclusions back in the 80's .

I think his associate, Dr. Mike H., was involved in the study as well.
