So today was Guitar Club..

[Demonator]

I brought in my Dean ML BASS and a freshman said "wow that looks just like Dimebags bass" I wanted to slap said person. Needless to say when he was called on this he said "oh i know he doesnt play bass I was just saying" but it was obvious the poor kid had no clue. Anybody have problems with people comparing guitarists basses? Or problems like listed above? I laughed quite after this to be honest but I was simply shocked at this. I just wanted to Let you guys know

I've had a guitarist say that my black squier strat (with white PG) looked like geddy's bass. He is talking about geddy's jazz but my strat has ROSEWOOD!

When shown rush the first time he came back a week later and said "Man the 'working man' bass solo is epic..." I told him "There is no solo in 'working man', Have you heard YYZ?" (I know that is cleche but he is a noob) and he said "What! You could do that solo and you suck at bass"

Eh, ML Basses do look like ML guitars......

Dimebag played ML's, ergo, your ML looked like Dimes guitar......

So maybe, he ment it more like, "that looks like a bass Dimebag would play"

 

[Demonator]

I have thought of that. Which is why I didnt heckle him for it. Im generally outgoing and just laughed. He seems like an alright kid.

Yea, why would you be shocked that someone thought that your bass, which shares a body style with a famous guitarist's guitar, looked like said guitarist's guitar?

I just re-read Fight Club recently.

Its a great book. My girlfriend saw the movie and didnt like it, so I had her read my copy of the book and she had a newfound appreciation for it.

 

[fishsticks]

you are not your bass....

 

[remainthesame]

well at least he knew it was a bass. whenever i pull mine out (yes the bass u pervs lol) they usually say "oooooh nice GUITAR, i didnt know you play GUITAR" or sumting like that. i always get pissed and tell them its a bass

Hmm...

kind of unrelated to the OP, but this reminds me of "Rock 'n' roll" club at school last year. I was the only bass player. When we all brought in our instruments to jam, the five guitarists all had the EXACT SAME squier affinity strat. They were even all the same color! Pretty wierd moment IMO.
