HI

Why do all women play bass?

Cause they can't handle the 6 gears in a car so why could they handle 6 strings?

No, but the player is usually backwards.

Well as it happens Im looking at a 6 string bass, just to keep you fucking guitarists happy.

we don't really care.

6 string basses are lame, unless you are a black jazz musician. You look very white, and not at all jazzy

For the sake of an extra 5 notes, fuck 6 strings. To be honest 5 strings are pretty pointless to me because I always end up tuning the 4 normals strings into Eb or D for Arch Enemy. The lowest string went down to fucking G sharp when I used to play in the band I seem to talk about all the time.

I have a 12 string with 40 frets like Victor Wooten, who is black and jazzy. Anything less than these bass specs is simply not good enough. At least not for me.

I like to kill bassists and then use their flesh in soup.

and it tastes like wannabe musician.

 

[TheSeldomlaid]

Do you use them for waffles too?
