What questions do you wish people would stop asking?

[SC Bassboy]

Whether it be drunk people approaching you in a bar, or beginner bass players here in the forums, what questions are you sick of getting?

"How much does the bass weigh?"

 

[themickster]

I don't get miffed by the questions but by the answers, such as:
Q. What's the best pickup for xxx style of music?
A. You need the pickups I have.

 

[dalkowski]

Discretion definitely advised.

Check your DMs.

Should I put ( specific color ) pick guard on my bass . Should I buy a blue bass or a black one . Which one will sound better ? Just general dumbass questions . Which color Ferrari should I buy to go the fastest ? Buy what you want not what people on here want !

Where have all the flowers gone?

When will they ever learn?

 

[GodsLove66]

On my cover videos,
"Woah nice playing, can you send me the tabs?"
I play by ear, not tabs (unless playing worship music Sunday morning at church) and in all honesty it just drives me NUTS!!!!

I was at GC last week looking at basses. I just got done playing one and was hanging it up and this young man asked me, "Bass is way easier to play than acoustic guitar right?"

 

[Tim Schnautz]

"lined or unlined"

 

[Tim Schnautz]

"carrots"

Q: "Do you guys play Country?"
A: "Sure. Which country would you like?"
I prefer plucking nostril hair than playing country. YMMV.
