Stealing from other people, meaning individuals, is terrible and wrong. I would never. BUT, stealing from either a corporation, or the clergy is like being given that three years you spent working at safeway back at the end of ur life somehow. I used to play in youth group praise band, when I was young and impressionable, some yahoo gave the band a de-armond 7 string sg type thing. None of us wanted to use it, it had seriously scrapable layers of grime. I tookit home, completely dismantled, painted, and brought it back to life, then never really returned it and sold it to a buddy for sixty. I feel like I should have been given an all new top notch rig for what I did for that band, then they kick me out for some lack of focus on jesus, right they were. Sry if jesus is ur cup of tea, but he {censored} in mine, anyway id never steal froma person, but from a place like guitar center, I totally would. Bull{censored}. Steeling is steeling. Justifying it is just adding more levels of scumbaggery onto the crime. You dont DO things for a PRAISE band because you expect something in return. That is not the point. It is painfully obvious after reading this post why they kicked you out. They may have told you it was for lack of focus, or any other reason. Read your own post and tell me if you would want a person like the author in YOUR organization.

All this talk makes me want to do a good inventory of my stuff and lock the list up someplace. However, if someone breaks into my house, he'll have to deal with the 85-pound Otis: Not ripping on your dog, boxers are my absolute favorite dog on the planet, and my favorite individual dog that ever lived is a boxer, but unless you fed your dog gunpowder as a pup, or beat or tortured him or something, and if he is a typical boxer, then he is the very defenition of all bark and no bite. Otis is an Awesome looking dog.

Here is a thread I did you might find useful... http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=1894708

I had a brand new Ernie Ball musicman stolen from me in 93. I saved gig money for four months. I drooled over that bass for a long time before I could finally afford it. 1100.00 was ALOT of money to me back then. I came home one day, my front door was pried open with a crowbar, all my {censored} was stolen, tvs stereos, bla bla bla. I ran to my bedroom where I kept my bass. It was gone. I felt like throwing up. I never found out who did it but had I cught them in the act, I would either be dead, or they would be dead. I would have beaten their skull into a fine powder with a ballpeen hammer had I caught them, or I would have died trying. That was a long time ago, but it still hurts and I still miss that bass. No, I have never stolen anything. I dont believe the world needs scum like that, thieves, and I believe they should all be lined up and shot through the brain. No prison. {censored} that. Not with my tax money. I dont care about rehabilitation or any of that. I think the firing squad would be a fair trade for steeling from me since I was minding my own business and harming no-one when they decided to go out of their way to be a c*cks*cker. If I caught someone steeling from me, I would probably destroy my own life making them pay. There would be no remorse from me. I would go make a sandwhich so I would have a snack to munch on while I watched them bleed out. Thieving bastards. I hate thieves.

Is there a BASS you don't want? My guess (and I may be guessing wrong) is that with basses, you might have more specific taste/need/requirements about what really works for you making some basses nice to own, maybe, but uninteresting to play for an experienced bass player who knows exactly what he likes. My guess comes from my own experience: I would enjoy just about any electric guitar and explore them, etc. but there are high end acoustic guitars that, even if you gave them to me, they would collect dust in my house. Man you are good. You are right. I could probably get away with 6-10 or so basses and feel like my collection is complete. Precision, Jazz bass, Stingray, something active Tobias maybe, A Rickenbacker, A Frettlews Precision, and a nice acoustic bass... oh and an acoustic upright bass and an electric upright bass. Yeah, being a bass player it is odd that I lust for basses way less than I do guitars. I might still want alot of basses, but I would be perfectly happy with ten or so. You are right in that the bass tones I tend to go for regularly are less wide ranging and more narrowly specific in range so I dont need as many. Plus, just something about guitars that makes me want them even though I dont need them which is not the case with basses.

Would you want a flying V with Bono's face imprinted on it saying "YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!" ?Nothing a belt sander loaded with 2 grit sandpaper wont take care of.

It is a sickness. Pray for me.

For Sale: One regular musiciansfriend gig bag for bass guitar, heavily perfumed and seasoned with the enchanting aroma of Urinus Felinus. Make offer.

No. My wiener is my biggest thing.

george is STILL a great guitar player, STILL has it in spades, and is one of my fave players from 80s LA...... don dokken was never my fave singer......and i thought dokken was kinda cheezy because of him. i listened to that band only to hear george Thank you Bobby.

George = still got it Don = not so much When did Don EVER have it? I always thought Dokken would have been a MUCH better band without Don Dokkens weak anemic sissy girly voice. Did I mention weak? Good band. Lame singer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a big one at the end of Highway to Hell? First Song I thought of

mazi is doing an outstanding job of ignoring this thread... What thread?

I hit someone ELSE over the head with my Fender precision Bass at a gig once. Does that count?

Let's face it: All things guitar-related jumped the shark decades ago -- at least since turntables became accepted as musical instruments. We're all just relics of a simpler, gentler time... Cliche phrases like: "jump the shark"(sorry bsman , but it has been worn out lately ) : 'I just threw up in my mouth a little" : declaring "would" after quoting someone elses pic of a hot girl. Really? Wow!! You mean you REALLY would with a hot babe? Shocking!!! etc. I'm sure I am guilty of plenty of genericisms and cliches myself, and I HATE me for that.

Once again...truth soooo pure! Dang friend, you're on a roll tonight!!! I got rants O'plenty. But I try to keep them in check because I dont want to be THAT guy.

I gave out rocks for halloween. does that count?

I don't understand why anyone would want their guitar to go "twang" when they played it. Maybe this will help you understand.... [YOUTUBE]WKRB-VvSxfk[/YOUTUBE] bRzPvKUSapg&feature=related rFz-xcOUi-E&feature=related XcjLvWCOgb0

Well, if a Strat is good, then by logic, a SUPERSTRAT is even better. Right? Next question............
