Scott’s Bass Collection

He recently responded to my YouTube comment where he informed me that the 59’ was his favorite bass.
The neck swap is bizarre to me but to each his own I guess, but now I’m really gassing for that Stenbach, that bass is killer!!
I could've sworn that I read somewhere the neck was warped on the Fender. I guess I was wrong on that one.
When I first started watching his videos he was using Vanderkley amps but in the last year he seems for favor Trickfish and he has another amp head but I'm not sure what that is. Maybe others are correct in that companies are sending gear to him for advertising exposure.

I think it is his way of making up for not having guests or being able to travel. I really think he needs virtual guests and guest teachers to spice things up.
As a fellow Englishman, also a Scott that has lived in Leeds, I find it quite surreal that this is considered offensive in 2020. But England isn't the US. I also find it quite surreal that I'm suddenly aware I can't type the words on this forum. Maybe back in the 70's, but internet forums weren't so big back then.
I assume it means that he used ****** in one of his videos. Like dropping the “ f bomb”.

Oh for Odin's sake, really!Those two are only considered equivalent in some quarters.
Words are words, and choosing to be offended by the words of another person who is not trying to offend you sounds like a choice poorly made.
That said, this Scott guy can play, clearly, but definitely has the "Bro" thing working overtime, and the "youtube presentation tricks" that tend to ruin most content and make youtube mostly unwatchable for very long are increasingly prevalent in his videos.
I can usually watch one, maybe two, and I'm out for another couple of months.

Really. When confronted with no other option than choosing between two evils, pick the one you’ve never done before. At least that way you can’t be charged with recidivism on top of everything else.
My wife and I have watched the Finnish detective series "Bordertown", AKA "Sorjonen". There's an episode in which a Finnish atheist detective tells a visiting German Christian detective, "You're almost as atheist as me; I don't believe in 500 gods and you don't believe in 499."
I agree that the videos are getting a little too hyper and gimmicky but I guess you do what you have to do in order to get someone's attention. I'd prefer if he took it down a notch but he is attempting to market something and if it's working then why would he change it. Maybe he's got a sponsorship from a good espresso company? 
Scott Devine is from Yorkshire where they're very straight talking. But beside that, in the UK(which I believe he still resides) nobody would bat an eyelid and the term is widely spoken in everyday speech, and it definitely wouldn't offend anyone. Most people here are staunchly secular.
I suppose whatever is said, someone in the world is always going to take offence because of the difference in cultures. Perhaps "carrots" means "I P on your grave" in some remote South Pacific island language, so the C word is definitely a word to avoid saying.

It all comes down to intent.
People should be free to live life how they want to. I doubt Scott meant any offense by it. His choice of language might offend a number of people and likely not offend a good number of others as well. Ultimately, did he choose his words to cause harm? No, so live and let live.
Fun fact: espresso contains about half as much caffeine compared to a traditional filter (drip) coffee.Maybe he's got a sponsorship from a good espresso company?
Gosh darn it is a paraphrase of another more inappropriate phrase taking God’s name in vain.Where is the name of The Lord in "g**h" or "d**n it"? English is not my mothertongue, I want to understand but I really don't get it.
Just google “taking the lord’s name in vain”.
