Right? Bass players shouldn't even be getting laid - unless they're Flea or Geddy Lee.

"Oh look ma! I've got four strings!"

Oh I had one of those bassists who played a 5 string. smh He pulled his pants up to his ears but goddamn he was good. I'm running around jumping and stuff and he just stood there

5 strings is too many for most bassists!

Seriously, there's some good bassists out there. I've known a few. On the other hand, you can usually get someone up to speed (to be passable) pretty quickly. So, it's not too hard to get someone who will do. I can play a bass with some alacrity but I've never taken a single formal lesson. Fortunately, I've got tab!

I've amassed a bit of bass gear. I'm a sucker for someone's used equipment. I swear to fucking god, people stop here instead of going to a pawn shop to sell their used shit. The good news is that I have enough gear for a good jam session. As we've mentioned before, my only saving grace is I dislike clutter. I've got way too much stuff, but it's organized!

Tomorrow, I'm going down to drop a guitar off for cleaning and truss rod adjustment. I'm so not doing that myself. If I behave myself - I won't come back with anything new. Unfortunately, I have to go back and pick it up next week - which means I'll be in his shop twice. He mentioned a 1953 00-18 (Martin) but didn't give me a price, thankfully. I'll probably play it and put it back in its case. Hopefully...
