Members bassman1956 Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 The real question is: Can you play a bass through spanish speakers or will it damage them? My Jerzy was built in Barcelona. I would think it's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Derek5272 Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 The real question is: Can you play a bass through spanish speakers or will it damage them? I actually thought this was about Spanish-made speakers when I first opened it for some reason.

Members Rippin' Robin Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 Okay, the question here is: who speaks better Spanish? The people from Mexico or the people from Panama? I think the Spaniards do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Kashue Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 Okay, the question here is: who speaks better Spanish? The people from Mexico or the people from Panama?

Members Rolos Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 I think the Spaniards do. I have to watch spanish (as in from spain) movies with subtitles at times. Somehow a good portion of it sounds like incomprehensible gibberish. (the spaniards, I would say, are the spanish-speaking counterpart to the british, accent-wise[no offense to either]) Also, they use a lot (more than any other spanish speakers I've heard) of slang, much of which involves taking a dump on something they dislike (or something someone else likes deeply). Like if they are pissed at, say, a cat, they'll say "Me cago en la puta que pari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoundandBlocked Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 Neither speak Proper English I love it when people from countries where English is not the native language have better spelling/grammar than those that are from an English speaking nation. I think Rippin' Robin might have the best English spelling/grammar on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J. Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 Interesting. Part of the reason for my tongue-in-cheek comment comes from my experience working with the Latin community at my last job. I don't speak Spanish at all, but most of them spoke English and were happy to converse with me about pretty much anything. Most of the people were from either Mexico or Ecuador, but we had folks from pretty much every Spanish-speaking South and Central American nation as well as those in the Caribbean. Anyway, I've had more than one Puerto Rican tell me how they hated being confused for a Mexican (without any prompting on my part), and how the Spanish that most Mexicans spoke was "country talk" and not very intelligible. One of the employees was from Guatemala, and she didn't care for Colombians. After she helped some Colombian customers, she came up to me and told me about how "all Colombians think they're the sh*t," and how as soon as they opened their mouths she could tell were they were from. It was very interesting, to say the least. It's almost like there's some sort of hierarchy among Latin American countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like there's some sort of hierarchy among Latin American countries. That has been my experience as well. Mexicans look down on Guatemalans (interestingly, at the same time Mexico objects to our border controls, they are tightening their own border with Guatemala. Gotta keep the riff-raff out, dontcha know!). A foreign exchange student from El Salvador once stormed out of the room after we'd been talking in Spanish, saying, "You talk like a Mexican!" So no, it's certainly not one big, happy family in Latin America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
