Just because you don't like it doesn't make it wrong.

My opinion is always correct.

 

[Stealth57]

No need to.

I know, you'll just drink mine next GTG...I guess that means I'd have to drive. Dang airlines get a bit pissy with bottled liquids.

Somebody planted hops next door. They are an aggressive, sticky vine. And they don't make hops in our back yard. They just get into everything. I would far rather have them in my beer than in my garden.

My brother in upstate NY grew hops (not sure if still). NYS breweries would buy them from him. I once had some mediocre beer up there and picked off a hop cone and threw it in the beer and it tasted much better!

I’ll be having something Seattle this time around, so don’t bother.

When you're in Seattle, these guys make insanely good beer. Doesn't really make it out here.

Just advocating for "Lesser Seattle" today

You really want me to make people sick with how little I paid for the 9 basses I currently own? If it wasn't for Marshall, I'd have a lot more money and a lot fewer basses.

make “people sick”?….interesting choice of words……if I recall none of the stuff really works right?…

Only doesn't work right in my garage. Your garage has the magic electrons.

Ship some cases up before hand.

That's why it's yellow.

As long as it isn’t yellow snow.

I choose my basses on sound and feel, looks are a distant third.

I wish I could do this, but, while sound is ultimately the most important, I really need all three, sound, feel and looks. I don’t want to own a bass that I can’t look at. This is why I’ll probably never own a NR (talk about a hill to die on….as I duck tomatoes being thrown my way). Im sure they are awesome sounding and fantastic playing basses, based on the love for them around here, but I really don’t like the way they look. Kind of like an amoeba lollipop.
In the same way I’m the kinda person that needs to like the look of a car or truck I drive.

I think they look great upside down, but there are no left-handed models to do that with. Lucky me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
