If you want REAL heresy, while I prefer (and play) flats, I don't care for either Sunburst or Tort guards. Both too dated and overdone.
Hmm, I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of a communist party.
Did I feel a disturbance in the force?I took the flats off my P bass, and replaced with rounds...
Next gig I'm going to wear shorts, no shirt, sunglasses, a hat, sandals, and play with a music stand!I don't know who the TB Pope is, but I know who the TB Satan is...me. Here's why:
-When I get an American Vintage '57 P, I'm going to take off the gold pickguard and put a mirror one on
-I hate all 'modern and pointy' basses, weird shaped basses, and ones that look very similar to classic designs, but are slightly differently shaped. Yes, that's all Ibanez, Carl Thompson, Warwick, G+L, etc...basses.
-I don't like Les Claypool's playing
-I hate Fieldy's playing
-I hate all white pickguards
-And worst of all...I wouldn't be seen dead playing a jazz bass live

And that's only a few things! Aren't I just evil!

Also, in full confession mode, I switched the gold ano guard I had on it for a black one. Also, I don't like most tort 'guards.
(I also like the bass this way.)
Please don't tell the TB Pope...
As if millions of strings cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I feel something terrible has happened.Did I feel a disturbance in the force?

Should have replaced Fender with Squier on the headstock. That would get you both excommunicated and stoned in the streets.I took the flats off my P bass, and replaced with rounds.
