[QUOTE=Jody LeCompte]BEn, when did you get your SR?[/QUOTE]

March of this year. I ordered last October, though. :lol:

I got mine at the beginning of March... I think.

Clever. Is yours way totally darker color than what's on the website?

It's the same as the one on the site.

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff]It's the same as the one on the site.[/QUOTE]

Hmm. It appears my Ibanez is an oddball.

I've come to realize one of the most useless statements that is always made about bassists as justification to like them or make them sound good.

"His playing fits the music."

Am I the only one that has a problem with this? For the most part, EVERY bass player plays stuff that fits the music. Whether it's root noting by Mark Hoppus, or Wooten going slap-crazy on a Flecktones song, IT FITS THE MUSIC!

Ugh... I just think it's an entirely useless statement that proves absolutely nothing.

Haha. True enough.

I think 'he does his job' is a far better statement...

:smash:

YES thats what i always say. Anyone can make a bassline that fits, the whole point is whether it is the best line that could fit. It gives me serious rage

You guys have got a new casual everytime I come in here :(.

It had to be said. People need to start realizing what an empty and pointless statement that is. Seriously.

isn't that like exactly the same thing?

Hey all...

:wave:

[QUOTE=fatbandit]I think 'he does his job' is a far better statement...

Ehh, I think that's still the same thing.

Does Hoppus not do his job?
Does Flea not do his job?
Does Justin Chancellor not do his job?
Does Wooten not do his job?

I think statements like that prove nothing about the player except that you're trying to justify liking them or something with an empty statement.

Yes, why yes it is. You get the shiny 'captain obvious' badge for today :)

However, I'm the kind of bassist that 'does his job'...

:upset:

:smash:

I don't do my job.

hello all :wave:

I'm not saying it's wrong to like Hoppus or something, I just think that statements like those mean nothing and prove nothing about the person you're talking about.

So.... you're like almost every other bassist out there. Congratulations for doing your job.
It doesn't say anything about whether or not your playing is good, though.

Oh guys, I have major GAS for one of those Washburn basses :upset:

I think 'he does his job, but doesn't go above and beyond the call of duty' would be a more accurate statement. But... It is still a moot point. If you say that, you've just made a completely neutral statement that changes nothing and shows nothing of your actual opinion :/

:smash:

[QUOTE=lemoley]hey kilian[/QUOTE]
Hey mike!
Everything fine?

I didn't say do my job. I said 'do my job'. There's the difference :)

I consider myself to be quite chuff :/

:smash:

:wave: hey mx

[QUOTE=Dave.Rws]:wave: hey mx[/QUOTE]

:wave: You never did tell me what kind of Peavey you have.

By the way, I'm not making any personal attacks on anyone, I just feel that these are overused cliches that mean absolutely nothing, and people need to realize that they mean nothing.

[B]Jim[/B]: "So, I saw this band on Saturday. The bassist was cool, he really fit the music!"
[B]Steve[/B]: "Oh yeah, what stuff did he do?"
[B]Jim[/B]: "Well, you know, he played what he had to. He did his job, it was really cool."

See! It means nothing!

How many bassist dont fit the music though?

</a pointless attack on matt freeman>

[QUOTE=BenJammin]:wave: You never did tell me what kind of Peavey you have.[/QUOTE]
I want a Peavey Mark IV head :upset:

hey dave :wave:

and im good kilian thanks, yourself? :)

Man, Spiff. You're really riled up about this. :lol:

Its not that I don't fit.

Its just that I suck.

:smash:

W00t, did i mention free house on Wednesday? :D

Party At Kosmo's

Pass It On ;)

[QUOTE=BenJammin]Man, Spiff. You're really riled up about this. :lol:[/QUOTE]
I just realize how many times I've seen these statements, and that they are pointless, meaningless, and empty, and the mean nothing at all. They prove nothing about the talent of the bassist.

Haha, fair enough. That'll be my bass in a year, too.
