Today I'ma Gonna Break all the TalkBass Rules

[dtripoli]

Rules to break:
1. I'm not going to fire the excessively loud but meter perfect drummer
2. I'm not going to ask for emergency tablature for Mustang Sally
3. I'm going to play Mustang Sally and like it
4. I'm not going to complain about Lead Singer Disease but learn to accept it.
5. I'm not going to complain about our 6 piece band with a wall of amps playing on a stage barely large enough for an acoustic Bluegrass trio.
6. I'm not going to give a second thought to the set list of obscure multi-genre, last century songs
7. I'm not going to care if by the last set there has been B**bs on my bass, drunkards shouting Free Bird or inebriated patrons explaining to me what our band needs to do or play to be really good
8. I'm not going to take personal the girlfriend's response of "Hell freaking NO" when asked if she was going to come see us at the ghetto dive bar.

...Now excuse me, I gotta get back to woodshedding, that's one rule that can't be broken

You forgot one.

You'll search and destroy every vendor not currently supplying a box with their effects pedals and avenge the tempers of those who did not receive one. We don't accept subpar customer service, nor should you.

 

[5StringBlues]

Don't forget to wear shorts on today's gig.

 

[dtripoli]

You forgot one.

I'm sure I forgot many but I'm just one bass player. Although the day is still young

 

[alembicguy]

Not my rules

 

[ZenG]

 

[bholder]

Don't forget to wear shorts on today's gig.

Cargo shorts, please, for the extra shock factor to all the fashionistas out there!

 

[hondo4life]

Don't forget to mix cabs.

 

[DWBass]

I'm wearing sandals.....with socks!

 

[PillO]

Cargo shorts, please, for the extra shock factor to all the fashionistas out there!

Better if they are camo cargo shorts.

 

[PillO]

I'm wearing sandals.....with socks!

That may be going a little too far.

[micguy]

So, you're giving away basses?

 

[inanimate_carb]

If a competent studio engineer suggests that I use a P-Bass instead of my expensive boutique bass on a recording because it will make the track sound better, I won't punch him in the teeth.

 

[Jrussblues]

I will spend money on a boutique bass

 

[Spidey2112]

Cargo shorts, please, for the extra shock factor to all the fashionistas out there!

I would go 70s NBA, but don't sell yourself short.

 

[jbybj]

I Love my Guitar Center store.

I Love my EH Bass Big Muff.

 

[DChalo]

[Hevy T]

GO FIND THAT MOTHMAN AND ENJOY LIFE

 

[Neon Blues]

I'm going to rock my newly purchased "65watt Guitar combo" which has an Open Back and is loud enough for gigs.
