Please stop with the " Plays Like Butter " thing ...

I prefer my basses to play like warmed salted lard.

How about a nod to Jaco and his greasy fingers for playability ritual, "plays like chicken"

 

[gjbassist]

Plays like Crisco just doesn't sound as good!

As long as it doesn't smell like chicken - in which case I should probably burn it.

You can always go to the dark side and use lard.

"Plays like lard" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

O.K, how 'bout shoots like butter ?

 

[NightTripper]

I prefer my basses to play like Earth Balance vegan butter spread.

Crisco is the graphite neck of shortening.

*** is that supposed to mean anyway?. Whenever some nut is trying to sell a Bass that " Plays like Butter " I tend to think they dont actually have any idea what a really nice playing Bass is. Any Bass ive bought that had " Plays like Butter " in the description, and thats not why i bought it, was a rattly dog with bad intonation and grimy strings, usually had a crackly output jack and pots, had missing hardware screws and stripped strap buttons lol. Whoever thinks that statement is a deal maker needs professional help !
Just my thought for the day

A bass like that is more accurately described as being a 'butter face.'

 

[nortonrider]

It looks and plays like butter!

 

[wild4oldcars]

hmm... wonder if I could color match butter for my next refin...

 

[dalkowski]

Mine plays like duck butter. Good 'n' stanky.

Manteca = Lard

Mantequilla = Buttah

It means that the bass will sound fat, the sound will spread well and will make your music legendairy.
