Surprising disappointment from Fender

[rtslinger]

For the ground wire no problem with the bass.

Are there any Rush songs on Rock Band?

Indeed.

10 bucks says Tom Sawyer.

You lose!

10,000 bucks says it's NOT "The Fountain Of Lamneth".

You win! (See michael_atw to collect.) It's "YYZ."

Edit: The above applies only to the original Rock Band. They actually may have released additional Rush songs as DLC or featured them in other iterations of the game. I was too lazy to check.

Thanks!
The reason I ask is I keep running into youngsters who have really good appreciation for moldy oldies. And then when you quiz them about it, it's from Guitar Hero/Rock Band, and they know certain bits really well, but nothing that's not in the game.

It's kinda cool, cuz it gives me hope that perhaps musical tastes will shift back to instrument-based music at some point.

Not far from his real name which is Gary Lee. Supposedly his grandma, whose first language wasn't English, pronouced Gary "Geddy". Or something like that.

Or something like that.

His mother's Yiddish accent. Gary Weinrib. He partnered with Alexander Zivojinovich. Stage names were a good plan.

Spirit of Radio is on there.

 

[Relayer71]

Nope, more like 4.5K...

Sorry, was just referring to the body in the pic.

Didn't add in electronics, neck, hardware and labor

 

[ClassicJazz]

Yeah, but look at how tiny, nice and clean it looks on your fancy, schmancy $2000 bass!!!!

I wish it was that cheap!

 

[iamlowsound]

Spirit of Radio is on there.

So is Tom Sawyer.

haha...there is a large amount of non-instrument based music at present? I did not know.

Spirit of Radio is on there.

That would have been my second guess.

Too lazy to even check an actual source of information?

Someone got my 10 bucks?

Those bridge saddles on the 70s Classic suck. The E string kept dropping flush with the fretboard.

About half of us in the 70's Classic Jazz Bass Club have swapped our stock bridge for a BadAss II. Huge improvement. Not exactly "period correct", but neither is the bullet truss. I still sleep at night...

I saw it right when it was posted and kept starring at the photo trying to figure out what he was talking about. Kept saying to myself, He can't be talking about the wire hole. It sure is a keeper. I am sure it will pop up around New Years in one of the Best-Worst threads.

Funny, me too. I think it's part of the learning curve. All in good fun.

 

[P. Aaron]

this is the most ridiculous thread I've ever read here. I mean, come on.

Nope, not by a long shot...OT is but a few clicks away.

Somehow I don't mind getting fried for making dumb comments - I've been outta the music loop (except for playing CDs and such) for over 40 years and am making a lot of catch-up moves right now.

Hey! I resemble that remark.
