I tried a bass that played like peanut butter. It stuck to the roof of my mouth.

Plays like "I can't believe it's not butter"

 

[SactoBass]

It's supposed to be "like buttah!".

After reading this post, I went and grabbed my handy, pocket-sized EBD (English to Bassist Dictionary), and lo and behold, bassman314 is correct!!

No, no ,no, it was a concentrate of cow milk, shaken and stirred long enough to get an emulsion of which the main purpose is to adhere cheese to a slice of bread.

Can't go wrong with Land-O-Lakes!

When I was a kid, I got in trouble several times for cutting the package up and removing her knees on one side and pasting them over the box she holds on the other side. It looked as though she was presenting her breasts.

I'll bet the butter came in pretty handy then!
