My experience.

Makes sense. That is why they are called Thunder-BIRDS.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Good one, uwe!  :mrgreen:  I agree with the unusual finish theory. IME, females like Sonic Blue...

Many of my bass playing friends got a kick out of this when I posted it on Facebook. Even a Precision guy. Of course an old drummer friend got all bent went another guy made a drummer joke.  :mrgreen:

Bill Wyman did allright with the women, for a short skinny guy with small hands.

PS. I can confirm that females like pink paisley basses

Being aware of your recent purchase Mark, is that a general observation across all specimens?

Still hard to digest the story about how Bill's son from his first marriage fell in love with Mandy's mother. If Bill and Mandy had stayed married, Bill could have become his own grandpa, like the old Lonzo & Oscar song.

This thread reminded me of this old gem:

Play a Les Paul bass to confuse 'em.  ;)

In my opinion/experience, if you're skinny and go on stage with something in the guitar family, and are passionate about what you do, it doesn't matter the number of strings. As an adult, I haven't had any trouble with "getting enough attention" or whatever. But I've also been in the same relationship since 1982.  ;D

How many girlfriends at any given time simultaneously?

A summer I had three, ofcourse none of them knew about the other two, and also none of them knew whats a bass, they were mainly interested on other things. Finally, I ran out of time and this come to an end. Also my less-than-perfect memory that was leading to names mix-up didn't help with this situation at all...

Always chose women with the same first name.   8)

The guitarist I knew had his second wife leave him for another woman after she picked her team.  Before that, she brought her friends home for both of them.  Be careful what you ask for.

I think we need a more educated opinion from Fraulein Rommel on this....

It might actually be the same person.  You do live in Chicago.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I played Fender P and J basses and got more chicks than all of the rest of the band put together...unless you count ugly, underage, crazy, baby-mama-to-be's: in which case, the drummer still only got about half the female attention I did. And I, honest to God, never played 'to get chicks.' I was just massively pissed off and playing was a cathartic release. First rule of women: if you want them to chase you, ignore them.
