Anyone remember the "bass-off" between Jack Black and Will Ferrell on SNL years ago?
One of the only times I laughed at a Will Ferrell bit.

Language and violence at the end wouldn't be okay at some workplaces.

Rickenbacker Basses / Re: Rickenbacker news from NAMM
« on: January 27, 2010, 10:48:11 AM »And they still haven't reintroduced their 5-string with the pup magnetic field issues. How long can that possibly take?Even Epi only needed a couple of weeks to get the pup issue on the TB Pro 5-stringers right. It seems that Ric is forever stuck with being able to get just one bass right, the 4001/4003.
They have priorities and this isn't one of them.
John Hall answered this way back at DP 2. He said that according to a certain trade magazine, all of the ten best selling basses were 4 stringers. He just wasn't prepared to use his already overloaded resources to make something that doesn't sell well.
IMO it's another case of what you read on bass forums not matching the real world.

Not always. A friend of mine in the Houston area plays a regular Legion gig, and he turned 80 last week. The guy who played steel guitar for him until moving out of the area recently is even older, there's a pic online of him playing in a band in 1947.

The news was that there was no news.

Oh wait, the carpets! They're new and the stand has had a makeover too.

The Bass Zone / Re: Anyone play Flats exclusively in a hard rock, yet "versatile" setting?
« on: January 27, 2010, 09:25:58 AM »
To each his own. But the idea that flats generally have a stronger fundamental is just not true. Having fewer highs doesn't mean you have more lows.

"Manufacturer: Ibanez for Greco"
NOT! Ibanez has never been a manufacturer. But we've been over this before.

I hope it works for them.
GM paid well over $500 million back in the day and that was only for 50% ownership. I guess US taxpayers get to subsidize the loss.

You need to spend more time in country dance halls.
