USA Ibanez ATK, Peavey Cirrus 4 or Peavey TL-6. The theme of tomorrows gig is Rocking Rapture...so what are the religious zealots going to say when nothing happens?

What bass will you be playing when the Rapture happens?
- Thread starter JIO
- Start date
I will in fact be playing tomorrow night (unless the rapture comes at noon or something), and I will be slingin my EBMM Sterling 5 HH in Medallion Gold... the perfect bass to be playing as I ascend to heaven (NOT!!!!).
My fretless Fender MIM jazz sounds really good accompanying acoustic guitars. I reckon it will compliment harps just fine.
I'm assuming they've got a pretty good back line so I don't have to take my amp with me.

Hopefully my new to me natural/maple Lakland 44-02 w/ Barts. I'll be doing a big festival gig in Bay St Louis then playing a private event in mid-city New Orleans after the Bayou Boogaloo.
I'm sorry to say I will be playing my five string Elan through the Mesa Wall of deaf and will most likely be the cause of the rapture...

- Full disclosure, I'm a certified Fender technician working in a music store that carries Fender, Yamaha, and Ibanez products among others.
I'll be playing my Bill Dickens model, hitting the stage for my church's usual, non-rapture-happening, Saturday night worship service. If the rapture deadline is EST, then I'll just be doing soundcheck.
As has been pointed out, Christ warned about this sort of thing in Matthew 24, and I'm feeling free to ignore this particular prediction and any other doomsday declarations. Of course, if it does actually occur, I'll be happy to be the first to step up and say that I didn't see it coming.

I got two gigs, so depending on when the Rapture is going down, it'll either be a Fender Highway Jazz or a Fender '70 reissue Precision.
I'll have my fretless Kubicki Ex-Factor and enjoying my first gig with it, backing up a friend on acoustic guitar - can't wait!
And indeed the Bible did say no man knows the date nor the hour - because you can only effective manipulate people through future predictions if you keep it vague. The only thing wrong with this group of nuts is that they were incautious enough to set a date. Even Vito Corleone knew the psychology involved in keeping people wondering: "Someday and that day may never come I may come to you for a favor."

the more interesting question is which kind of cable you will be using. gonna need quite a long one or a *very* good wireless system. (or does the amp get teleported too?)
don't forget: the show must go on!

I'm assuming that God will take only the most Upright persons, so you can guess which bass I will be playing.

Sorry, only people go. The dammed who are left behind get all their cool 5 and 6 string basses.
