Mm, I can smell the negative rep incoming.

Wow, talk about going way over your head! I didn't say anything bad about the Indie folks, I'm simply stating the fact that I have something that is of my own.
Talk about defensive, (people in general.) I got the same shit from the old guys on the bass forum.

Ahh...

I'm just the opposite, right now I GASing for a Valve 3100 head; wine with a gold grill.

And we won't even mention my collection of Hawaiian shirts.

Guitars that aren't white piss me off. I dunno why, but white = t3h sex0rz for me.

Gibson guitars. As much as I WANT to like these, I've been disappointed with virtually every one I've played.

I don't know what it is, but I fucking hate Fender Precision Basses and my mind tells me they sound terrible, even though I'm constantly finding examples to prove me wrong.

The problem is that every dipshit bass player who picks up bass because he wants to be in a band and heard bass is the easiest to learn buys a P-Bass and an Ampeg stack, but never bother to learn how to use them right.

The sad part is that the reason they get that bass and that amp is that there are many people using a Fender P-Bass and an Ampeg stack and getting killer tone.

Bad:

Good:

Awesome:

(it shows him playing a Jazz Bass, but he recorded this album on a P-Bass)

And because I can't resist, even though it's a J-Bass (

Gold hardware...

I don't like gold at all.
Same goes for brass.

Looks gaudy to me. It can make a $3000 guitar look like poo poo to me.

I gotta say that old Marshalls, Fenders and Gibsons were fine gear. It's the recent stuff that isn't in the same league.

I have to say that I'm not a fan of EMG pickups, except the new Strat set that has exposed pole pieces. Sound Awesome!

Dude, that C&C playing Maiden was fucking pretty sweet. Quality was shite, vid sucked, and yet their playing was really nice, and it just gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

HamBungler · 11-13-2007, 10:52 PM

I dunno why, I just don't like Boss gear. The Metal Zone just killed it for me and I can't get over their ridiculous prices.

The Dark Wolf · 11-13-2007, 10:52 PM

Yep, I was thinking the same thing Bill.

Us old timers remember. Seems weird to hear Gibson has went downhill so much. Last time I was seriously playing them/checking them out was about '94, and they were pretty good back then.
