I learnt a long time ago never to drink and drive... you just end up spilling too much...

... and since when can a UK journalist tell the brand of a bass from that view... :mrgreen:

This is why I stick to 4 string basses, I don't think I'm good enough to manage a 5 string bass while driving.
Cheers

I used to see a guy playing trumpet while driving. If you've been on 290 heading into Chicago during evening rush hour (or any time for that matter) you know it's more like sitting in a parking lot.

He's so close to their HQ, and they had to bribe him with a unique "custom" model, and he writes for a bass mag, so... :P

And - in the days of yore - the "doughnut bumper", thus christened by our beloved Admin.

Chris doesn't have a driver's license - we now know why. And The Netherlands don't allow cars wide enough to harbor a Buzzard.

I can't remember using doughnut bumper to describe a Warwick endorser. Which one?

Dudepit. Lesbian Brit (aren't they all?). Fretless Warwick. I forgot her name, but she posted quite regularly before math, meth and murky deals pulled the curtain on our forum of mutual inception.

You can't live in constant denial, Dave, seriously!!! "The term "doughnut bumper" (which she thought exceedingly funny, she had great humor when she caught you with it) has since become ingrained with me and I prefer it to the much coarser "clam muncher".

Now I remember who you're talking about. I don't remember her name and didn't remember her as a Warwick player. She had some kind of serious illness and dropped out after a while.

But I didn't call her that. IIRC the discussion was about Joan Jett or maybe someone else well known, and she joined in the discussion -- with good humor.

I don't remember her name either but if I am thinking of the same girl, she was a big fan of those short Ashbory rubber-band string basses. (Yes, I am aware they are silicone) For some reason I think her name was Lucy, but that was a long time ago.

That's it! Her name was Lucy, her username was Froover, and she did like those Ashborys. She may have lived in Scotland. Maybe the Isle of Skye? And maybe her medical problem was arthritis. I still don't remember her playing Warwicks.

Aussie Mark knows something about this.
