If punks could swim would they surf?
And, if so, would they play a new style of music and call it surf punk?
I'd go more for a surfboard bass:

Roland made a bass that had some of those features.
Same skewed humbucker neck p'up as the Mosrite, but the proper look.![]()
So Cal band from 1983
Miles, Jaco, Monk, Parker, and my mom
I need to know: is it okay to sit in a chair and play surf music?
If you want a great example of surf and punk mixing in 2015, here you go. Throw in some whacked out Fun House saxophone, too.
Ah come on man you don't need octavesI used to skate to Agent Orange. That was before I worried about things like breaking my hands!
Who cares, they are still touring! Great band.The best side effect of this entire conversation is the references to Agent Orange. How have I never listened to them before? I just spent two hours on youtube. In a word...awesome. I'm wondering why they didn't become much bigger.
Awesome. I still have a chance to see them live. It's a rare occasion where a band makes an instant impression on me. Next time they're in Europe, I'm there.Who cares, they are still touring! Great band.
Living In Darkness is one of those cd's that often gets stuck in my car cd player for days and/or weeks at a time. A true "all killer, no filler" album right there!The best side effect of this entire conversation is the references to Agent Orange. How have I never listened to them before? I just spent two hours on youtube. In a word...awesome. I'm wondering why they didn't become much bigger.
Absolutely! Gotta keep this trollfest on point without any additional red herring argument distractions.Yeah, there only room for punk and surf snobbery
i don't care about a word in this entire thread until my question is answered: what is the best bass for Surf Music?
A Fender P-Bass of course....![]()
Ocelots are better than mangoes.After carefully analyzing and studying the two for quite awhile now...there is absolutely no doubt that Surf music is better than Punk in any form....
