TB Cliché's and their opposites

[nickpc]

So there are a lot of clichés that get used here on TB - about basses, amps, strings, pedals, players and music. Well, being the contrary guy that I am I started wondering "Well, what would the opposite of that be?"

This is the thread that answers that question.

I'll start it off:

"Plays like butter" - the opposite would be "Plays like cold molasses."

Who's next?

 

[Killing Floor]

Weight?

opposite is

Nut Width

 

[Verb the Noun]

"Carrots" with it's dark side polar opposite... "Carrots"

 

[Passinwind]

"Serving the ego."

 

[Slade N]

Whats the opposite of tort and flats? Rounds and fluorescent?

 

[Polfuste]

Opposite of PB ? Any bass.

 

[MuseChaser]

"Tons of mwah" - "Loads of meh"

Fire the drummer; hire the drummer.
What is the best bass for metal? What is the best metal for bass?
Try doing a search. Here is my answer to the question…
Jaco only needed four strings; he was so good with four, just imagine what he could have done with five or six?
Yes; no.
no; yes.
You don't need to learn how to read music. You don't need to learn how to play.
Three things: the money, the music, the hang. I don't have a reason to stay with this band – I just like them.
