Weirdo Bass Players' Club

[McG]

'm just glad there's finally a thread where I can ask what paint color sounds best on a P bass.

You make an excellent point. There MUST be a tonal difference in the color of a P bass and by logic any bass. We all know colors put out vibrations, as well discussed in the movie A Mighty Wind. These vibrations will certainly color the tone.

If I may expand out from P bass for a moment, in my experience I found the Dan Armstrong bass to have the clearest sound.

"Weirdo Bass Players' Club"

Is this not the name that secretly, we all refer to Talk Bass as in our heads?

Naw, man… clear is a color, so the tone is colored clear.

They ever make these Armstrongs in a 5-string?

I lay awake in bed at night, and I wonder. And then I wonder some more.
'If George Costanza played Bass, what type of Bass would he play? And why?'

Well I think his father would play something like an Italia Moderno with a pearloid body and George would want to play something very different from that, while at the same time feeling he just might set himself apart and in his mind "one-up" other bassists because his bass would be more guitar-like and wind up not quite being a bass.

I believe he would go for a Fender bass VI in sunburst/tort.

I'm pretty sure I would qualify for membership in this august group.

[dave64o]

I'm a middle aged dad. My wife and son are quite capable of listing my qualifications for this club if need be.

Hell, they'd be quick to tell you about all my qualifications whether this club exists or not.

 

[AltGrendel]

I'd like a number.

 

[Paul Corrosion]

I'm joining this group but only so I can storm out after 3 months citing oddball differences.

What's the best way to remove skid marks from your bass?

Toilet paper and baby wipes. Don't ask.

What's the best way to remove skid marks from your bass?

Keep them off in the first place by practicing your aim and avoiding those foods that give you explosive diarrhea.

For me, that's Chinese and Denny's among others.

Nice MM Bongo!

 

[Old Blastard]

I'm the only normal one in this club, which makes me weird.

 

[gln1955]

To paraphrase Groucho Marx...

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.

Except maybe this one.

 

[Mktrat]

Ahh, so true. I got my parrotlets downstairs with their adorable babies (4 weeks of age) and my green cheeked conure, Buddy and, my two cockatiels who fly around. Milo (my cockatiel) would be the singer of the band. Or an amazon, even though they're not parakeets.

So your starting an Eagles tribute band?

Not even close.

 

[ZorgRift]

i would like a number Nobody has

 

[Themoleinahole]

I think I'm a bit overqualified to join but can I anyway?

 

[rocu]

Some weird stuff here. For the most part it's 'funny weird' and not 'scary weird'.

'Scary Weird' would be a good name for a band.

Dirt Dog confessing to be a closet banjo player scares the crap out of me.
