i hate my friend

[crazy_geetarist]

well my friend (who doesn't even play bass i might add) just got a 1970's Fender Jazz Bass, and an old Traynor 100 tube Bass amp, and get this, he paid 450 canadian. he brought the bass in today and it plays like a dream. why must undeserving people get amazing things?

[jamie.pope]

i totally understand.

my other guitarist literally sucks at rhythm and he's getting an orange ad-30 and he has a gibson les paul and an sg!!!!!!

it won't help him though.

As long as people work for the stuff they get, I don't really mind. I have (well, had, till I blew it all on alcohol, drugs, and college books) a large amount of disposable income that I could've used to get an AC-30 or a Jazzmaster or something...But it was my own knowledge of my innate suckiness that has kept me mainly a pedal buyer.

Yeah, I actually did some math and I realized that I spent into the thousands on alcohol alone...

Imagine the gear I could have accumulated by now...

Hell, most of mine went to college books/tuition stuff...I WISH i had spent more of it stockpiling alcohol. I sure could use it now...

Not to be contrary or anything but I'd say good for him, that's a great setup that will last him a while and having that quality of equiptment will help keep him playing. Even once he starts gigging that traynor will make a great practice amp won't be loud enough to play rock though. And if he gives up bass a couple years down the road you'll know where to look for some kick ass gear for yourself:D

EDIT: We really need some more bassists, right now I'm the last post on all the bass forums

I hate to even think of how much money i've spent and still do spend on alcohol/drugs.

yeah the lamest players always get the best stuff

[dotman]

if he sucks, now he'll just look even worse because he's got that nice rig.
