News Flash!: Squier Not a Real Bass

:eek:
I'm in the wrong field.
/goes off to look for UPS driver job

No kidding. Here I am, fixing complex avionics for the Navy (with a side of electrical engineering, when I'm not turning a wrench), and just barely making that much after 12 years!

$30+/hr for 30 months + shlepping packages around + cool shorts + potentially hot women interested in my "package" = sounds like my dream job!

(Well, almost)
 
One UPS truck carrying a Squier bass leaves NYC at 10:00am and heads west at 65 mph. A second UPS truck carrying a Warwick bass leaves Chicago at 10:25am and heads east at 55 mph. What time did the drivers eat breakfast?
 
The world is full of insensitive people, which has nothing to do with class, gender, political and/or religious views... even IQ. I work with some very very smart folks, but they are truly stinky smelly hemorroidal roundholes... which makes them losers in the things that truly matter. You don't have to look hard for them; when you least expect it one of them just pops up to the surface.

Be happy that you were not him. Just smile and wave, dude, smile and wave.

Enjoy your new bass!!!
 
I was having a conversation with the checkout lady at my grocery store, and she starts asking about my band... we talk for a minute or two, all good. As I go to leave, the kid bagging the groceries is like "what kind of bass do you play?"

Me: "Rickenbacker".

Kid: "Oh those are kinda cool, I play a Ken Smith."

He wasn't being condescending, and it was actually a fun little chat, but he caught me off guard.
 
every squire I have played has been killer, had a deluxe active jazz 5 i sold and regret it. the neck was so playable . I can't and don't however have anything good to say about a warwick rockbass corvette. i had two both with fret issues and neck problems sent them both back...
