What gear makes you look old?

[edmidlifecrisis]

I don't need to "rely" on gear or clothing to look old. I can achieve that all by myself.

My sentiments exactly. Need no help.

Puting on reading glasses to see your pedals or the set list.

The cougars adore me still.

A cougar is an older woman who likes younger men, not the other way around.

Yes, but I seem to attract a range from late 20's to early 50's, and I do know how to write correctly, so your point is...?

 

[devnulljp]

Yup, that's exactly the one!

Been using the same one since 1986-ish...
Don't like digital tuners. Haven't tried a Peterson strobe tuner -- can't bring myself to spend that much one a tuner.

Having a strap that holds your bass at Jazz Nerd height, not bouncing around your knees whilst you play downstrokes with a pick and gaze at your shoes in best Emo manner.
Hey, you kids get off my lawn!

Ok so pleated pants are out. Flat fronts are cooler.

swap out Dickies for the - ahem - flat fronts, and I'd also recommend that you rip the sleeves off your polo shirt too - easy 5-10 years off right there

I'm in an 80's tribute band and during rehearsals we sometimes have to refer back to original recordings to review our parts. We had been using a computer/itunes in the band room but for many reasons we moved the computer out and now we're using Albums/Records and a turntable. It has added a nice vibe/touch to rehearsals.

This Tuner is so old I cannot get new 9V batteries to fit in mine

I have a TU-8 of the same vintage that I still use.

Small amps make you look old as old farts can't carry a real amp or else have lost the will.

I bring a vintage Acoustic monster. Usually a 406 wide. Only a young pup would try that! Maybe I should get two of them....

The gear does not make you look old. (That's Retro)

It's the color of your hair, and the size of your gut.

Steve Tyler dyes his hair, and works out.

That called a Rock Star.

Hofner bass

 

[cymbop]

A shirt with flames on it. Especially a bowling shirt with flames on it.

 

[Medford Bassman]

Oh Nuts!?@#$#@!!!

I better get rid of mine!

 

[Rob Lewis]

Come to think of it, anything with flames on...

 

[oldrookie]

Kinda like the comedian's routine..."Do these pants make my butt look big?"
"No, your butt makes your butt look big."

Not the gear making us look old either.

Gotta love Spinal Tap.

Steinberger Bass, Kramer Bass, Hawaiian shirt and shorts with any make of bass.

Unfortunately, old people trying to dress "hip" is often the thing that makes you look old the most! Every seen those mother-daughter combos, when they're wereing the same clothes? ::shudder::

Just how hot 'Mom' is and how open minded 'Daughter' is..........
