Was I ever wrong!

[BoogieZK]

More gear and tone related but i thought:
- Class AB amps sounds fuller than Class D
- Nickel strings are better
- Cut thoses low mids freqs!
- 1x38cm bass cab is enough
- Fender basses ... ewwwww
- Ampeg amps ... ewwwww

Now:
- I play on class D amp, on steel strings and i use a pickup configuration that is full of low mids.
Also 38cm speakers are good but not enough sensitives, so 4x25cm cabs are far better.

I still don't like Fender and ampeg and MM.

1. Root, 3rd & 7th notes were called a triad
2. My timing is perfect
3. I need my amp on stage loudly to hear myself
4. I'll never have use for a 5-string
5. All season tires work fine in the snow

I thought P basses were bad because my first one was a Squier Affinity and it may have been the worst one ever produced.
After 15 years I have two.
I thought 5 strings were better than 4 because, well, add them! Isn’t more better?
I thought Just because it says Ibanez on the headstock it would suck.
Things and views change.
Apparently some of us can grow and accept a little change.

I thought hauling around a double bass was a huge pain in the neck. It has prevented me from even thinking about buying one.

Yesterday, I passed a guy in a convertible with the top down and the double bass in a gig bag taking up the whole back seat with the neck hanging out over the passenger side.
Great solution. I now need a convertible. And a double bass. Win/Win!!!!!

IDK... I love my current setup.

Is it possible I could have kept going with my last bass and amp? Certainly.

But I have to tell myself I was right; to enjoy my life and keep from going crazy!

I naturally thought cheaper basses would sound cheaper, but when I bought my Squire Vintage Modified Jazz _ also tried other more expensive bases and found the tone and the general way it played was better than the more expensive ones I tried - and one of those was a musicman sterling stingray.

I remember reading an interview with Ray Davies of the Kinks and he said at a concert in the 1980's someone came up to him afterwards and thanked him for playing that Van Halen song - You Really Got Me!

This has always reminded me of ordering coffee from Starbucks.

Hey, this is a thread about being wrong, not right!

 

[jamro217]

Once I realized I knew everything, there was no reason to ever be wrong again. (As my dad used to say: "When you're as great as I am it's hard to be humble." He was joking, of course.) For those of you who think you're never wrong, just ask your spouse.

Well...it's a relative thing...

I know I'm not old when compared to some people

-“The Blues Brothers” was a how-to for the successful operation of a covers band.
-Free drinks equals an awesome gig.
-You must have the latest hip gear to be a great player.
-Social media (or self-promoting in general) is a waste of time in this modern age.

Metal is the best music and all other styles are inferior. (I think it's an age 15-20 thing)

Metal is the best music and all other styles are inferior. (I think it's an age 15-20 thing)

And if you're like other metal fans, you've since learned that the best music is some highly specific sub-sub-sub-genre of metal and all the other styles are inferior.

Hi,

Thank you for your indulgence,
