[Dr. Cheese]

Somebody probably beat me to this, but Benjamin, you are simply enjoying the law of averages. If you stay out long enough, some fine women are gonna come your way even if you are not especially hot (I'm going by what you say about yourself.) Just keep your feet on the ground and don't start thinking that you are automatically going to be desired by all pretty women. Just enjoy the one you're with as the old song says.

 

[EricF]

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Congrats, young man. Hang on and enjoy the ride.

 

[XtreO]

I end up hanging out with her after the party, and have been hanging out with her almost every day this week. It turns out that in addition to having great taste in men, she's extremely cool. Smart, funny, engaging, beautiful (she looks like a cross between Uma Thurman and Kate Blanchet), and... get this - she's a doctor.
That's right. Me, a mohawked, pierced up, skinny, geeky, unemployed musician is dating a doctor.

Bow before me. Bow.

/bow

You, Sir, are awesomely lucky. For this, I salute you.

 

[MatticusMania]

I'm with ya on this one.

-Mike

If so, that is one DAMN FINE dude.

 

[fenderx55]

Bro. After three pages I didn't think there was going to be a make-good. But there was. High five!

 

[StyleOverShow]

Should be a thread: Memorable Pick Ups.

 

[DudeistMonk]

Ben you reeled a prize fish into that there boat.

She's probably Dudeist Monk's GF.

ROFL, Ben might be doing a little better than me, his woman makes 200,000 a year, mine makes 20,000...then again mine is like 15 years younger and those are Asian years, so they count double.

In case you care about my thread which is best left for dead...I won the game by not playing and instead sticking to a steady platform of "You want this and you know it."...and she actually changed her plans to come see me yesterday (without me requesting).

Your estimate is short by about $100k.

Not that I'm counting.

I call boy toy.

You are her boy toy.

 

[bassrique]

I brought my fretless Ovation Magnum (which I guess is a sexier bass than my Steinberger XM)

Something like this?

That explains it then; it's not you, it's the bass

Hope this works out man.

You say it like it's a bad thing. If it works, go with it.

Is that yours? I've seen that one before - pretty smashing. Mines a little less sexy:

 

[bassrique]

I wish it was mine, because then I'd be dating the hot doctor.

Your bass is just as cool. Why'd you lose the EQ?

It wasn't working properly to begin with, and I hate active electronics. I gutted the whole thing.

 

[MJ5150]

Oh hey...congrats on meeting a nice woman and the promising job interview. One of the reasons I was attracted to my wife was because she was smart and confident.

Good to know one of our own is on the upswing right now.

-Mike

 

[DudeistMonk]

I know what you see in the woman, but I don't know what you see in that bass...It must be you she is attracted to you.

No offense, just something weird about the body style...I do like the bridge a lot though.

 

[Benjamin Strange]

That's funny - the bridge is the one part that makes it a pain to deal with. The ball ends anchor so far away from the bridge saddles that it requires extra long strings to reach the nut before the windings start graduating. Phooey!

It does sound and feel great, though. It also looks better while being played:

My new girl took this picture the night she met me. I'm sure it was my sexy bass that attracted her...

 

[DudeistMonk]

Your right it does. Horizontally its a much better looking instrument.

I can also see why she digs ya, you got that artsy and rebellious yet sophisticated, Maynard kinda look going on.

Sorry, I'm taken. You're going to have to find your own artsy, rebellious, sophisticated bassist.
