GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 2)

I was going to say I bought an electric guitar like this and had a good experience

Until I got to this sketchy seeming part.

Yessir, Club P is more than a venue; it’s also a tactic of bass destruction.

So when I come to Hamburg, you won’t see me?!?! Bro, that’s brutal!

I have no problem going alone, I would’ve done so anyways, and wasn’t expecting trouble, but I’m fairly confident in my abilities to handle such should it arise. I just refuse to buy an electrical instrument without having it plugged in to see if it works. And since I don’t know whey they live, I cannot show up on their doorstep, demanding my money back if it’s a dud.

Yeah, I’ve seen enough horror movies to know how this could end :rofl::rofl:

This was in France, but just an hours drive away. And we have plenty of criminals here, they just don’t want them showing up on the statistics so we just ignore them.

If I had one of those plugin amp, just so I could’ve seen if the electronics was ok, I would’ve gone, but this was just weird in my opinion. They are also selling two bass amps. Again, if I can’t test it, I don’t want it.

It sure sounds like you were likely communicating with some of those who go ignored. :supervillain:

That’s not a real place. Next you’ll be trying to convince me that there really is a country called ā€œBelgiumā€.

:rofl:

Unfortunately, I cannot make jokes about Belgium anymore (though I know many!), so reluctantly I have to confirm that a) exists b) is way cooler than I whish it were and c) we still don’t want it back :slight_smile:

But this is the complete history of Luxembourg in three pictures (thanks again, @Krescht ):

I only know one saying about the Dutch told to me by a German, maybe he was joking I don’t know.
He said a Dutchman is only a want to be German.

Hahaha! Well, that’s what the Germans said in 1940 too. It’s was as much true then as it is now.
Though I heared that the the German chancellor said this about Holland recently: ā€œwe’ll get because it has to do with freedom of the worldā€.

Our airforce is prepared :slight_smile:

Yeah, we were the coolest people on earth … once :slight_smile:

Ah, he could not have done much damage to us.

An ex girlfriend worked at a camping in the summers, during here university time.
Many Germans on that camping.
One day, she chatted with an older German, and he said: ā€œOh, Holland is such a nice country, I love it since the first time I’ve been here … in 1940ā€.

Fortunately that does not happen in recent years…

Hahaha = keep the dream alive… It was dream then and still maybe for some now…
Back to bass.
What are you playing lately?
I’ve been on a Rush kick for a week playing little of anything else.
I’ll play some Aretha, Style council, James Brown and a few others for warm up then a couple hours of Rush… Massive Rush attack is really bringing my game up… And you? What’s on the menu?

Totally different: lot’s of Idles, some Arctic Monkeys. And I discovered - as the last person on earth - the Black Keys and Tragically Hip recently.
Idles and Arctic Monkey want to make me rebel and go nuts, Black Keys and Tragically Hip want me make to sit on a porch of a hut in some southern swamp and play :slight_smile:

I went on a Hip run a couple weeks ago after Buzzin mentioned them in a post, I’m going to revisit the Hip tonight, I’m glad you said that…
Arctic Monkeys I’ll look into also, I don’t know them, hmmmm. The Black keys also a group I know not, but will give them a listen.
Rush is far more challenging than the Hip but a great band and almost relaxing to play between Rush cuts. :jbass: :sunglasses:
