Guys, lets try to keep this discussion as funny and fake as possible. Please don't make me have to report you for being too serious.

It's funny...cuz you're serious business cat...I get it...haha!

I showed up without a Fender, but I made up for it because I brought a grill, bumper, two headlights and 3 hubcaps.

As I enter the studio, I genuflect before the graven image of Leo Fender, flagellate myself with .045-.100 Chromes, stuff foam into my shorts, and recite the collected boogaloo patterns of Carol Kaye. Only then am I worthy to record my poor, pathetic bassLines.

anyone knows you only flagellate yourself with TIs when you recite Carol BURN THE INFIDEL

Ahhh! I confess! I'm a witch!

I showed up with beer. And a Chickenbacker.

Next thing I knew, I was naked, covered in maple syrup and in jail. Had an entire corner of the cell to myself, so I had that going for me...

When I was learning to play in the early 70's, the orchestra director ( a top notch double bassist) had me listed in the concert program as John ....... On Fender bass. I owned a Univox Hiflyer.

Even Gibson EBO's were called Fender basses.

To get back on point- no one ever complains about my Elrick with flats in passive mode when I record tunes that call for that sound.

I showed up with a Fender. But the mixer was gonna try and use a board I had never heard of so I got him kicked him out.

Once. Producer was all:

Here's a simple studio screening test you can do:

First, you'll need a non-fendery kind of bass. Once you have acquired such a bass, bring said bass to a session. Also, bring your fender or fenderish kind of basses with you, but leave those ones in the trunk of your car for now.

Upon revealing your non-fender instrument you will observe one of two possible outcomes;

Outcome A: You are immediately asked to produce a fender or fenderish instrument with which to record. In this case you should retrieve fender instrument(s) from the trunk of your car and proceed with the recording session.

Outcome B: The recording session begins without being asked to produce a fender or fenderish instrument. In this scenario, you should leave the studio promptly and seek out other musical endeavors and/or recording studios until the only acceptable outcome is achieved.

Producer said bring P bass. Mentioned nothing about clothes. Hilarity ensued. New studio rule instituted.

I've recorded many many times, with many many people, and brought a Fender only one of those times. I never had any complaints, any of those times. And I've gotten lots of compliments on my sound.

 

[kenneffdupriest]

I bring my REDDI and use whatever is there. Really

Hahahahahaha.

 

[Ritchie_Darling]

I have a jazz bass that I can use, in a pinch.

But, if you are paying for the studio time out of your own pocket?

Take whatever you want. I do!

This thraed is way too serious and not the funny kind of serious but the seious kind of serious.

The wife was in court facing domestic violence charges. Her husband wouldn't stop collecting basses so she beat him pretty badly with his instruments. The judge addressed her curtly "This a very serious, violent crime"... "First offender"? "No sir" she replied. "First a Gibson, then a Rick and then a Fender

 

[manfish]

I recommend a 7 string, active, bubinga, neck thru, headless, $8K fretless, shaped like spooning moons... natural finish. OK... "Blitzkreig Bop" in A

A good friend of mine had a studio gig last week. He told me he was bringing his Rick and nothing else! I wished him luck and told him to tell me how it went.

Needless to say, the cops haven't found his body yet, and they're running out of leads...
