    They've got the Badtz Maru [sic] bass. Not as cool as a pink HK, but in the same family.

    "His mom drops him off?"

    Dude, that's my first band! Three adults and me, who was not yet licensed to drive! I show up with a Gibson 330 and an Ampeg VT-22....

    Yeah, maybe you're right... in point of fact, I guess I didn't really work out. :)

    Why not? You already use a Rickenbacker, how much gayer can you get?

    Upon meeting him, he expresses disappointment that your hair isn't longer, and that you're not playing through a full 100W stack.

    We've shared enough stages that we can pretty well have fun. RJ knows we love him. That's why the band works - R,E,S,P,E,C,T!

    Mikey, OSA, Greg, and Swanky have carried my ass, and saved me from embarrassment, often enough that they are due a little leeway. Besides, in the time the guys have known me, I've proven time and time again that I'm not gay... NTTATWWT!

    I admit it. I watch Japanese anime. The first time that I had ever seen a Ric bass was on a show called Fooly Cooly (or FLCL for short).



    I've never seen one in person, but I think they are really pretty... Is that a warning sign that I might not work out?

    I may be wrong, but I think "having to dis-prove his gayness..time and time again" might be one of the warning signs...that the guitar player might not work out..(not that there's anything wrong with that)

    And fellas, he's a GREAT wingman - although I think I might have finally retired from needing one. I'm the only single guy in the band, but I've been in a single relationship now for 15 months...heck, I'm practically married...

    And for the record, Carmen's a "she." There, I'm not gay. Q.E.D.

    RJ, if you have to tell us one more time that you're not gay, I'm going to have to assume you're lying.

    Is that kinda like the relationship I have with my ex-girlfriend now that we are both single?

    Or...

    Is it more like that you're single and and have a relationship with yourself?

    Yeah and I may be one of few anime fans that likes and (for the most part) understands the plot line of FLCL. I'm currently watching Excel Saga... I guess I've a twisted mind that leans toward watching the insane cartoons. Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat anyone?

    When the guitarist starts burning incense onstage for the vibe....it goes with the authentic colorful organic woven rug that he puts his pedalboard on,and the lava lamp on his amp.

    That could be nice! Creating an ambience...now, if he had all Electro-Harmonix pedals mounted to his pedalboard, that would be an added bonus - provided you were a psychedelic band.

    There's plenty more...
    The guy who...
    ... willonly play authentic blues songs no matter how obscure.. on a lawyertop guitar and boutique amp.. that cost more than many authentic blues legends made in their lifetime..
    ...will not play a note until all the band members join hands and say a prayer..
    ...wears a God Bless Lee Greenwood T-shirt...
    ... used to have a guitar just like your's but sold it because it wouldn't stay in tune...and was too heavy...because he only plays guitar that weigh less than 6.73 pounds...because of his bad back...and you should change out the pickups in yours because there's only one way to get that perfect single coil sound and it's with the pickups made by a friend of his uncle's that has a 3 year waiting list..

    Yeah Cowboy Bebop and Trigun have the best soundtracks i have heard on an anime. They are on my top five favorite list, and I have almost all of the music from those series. I actually listened to cowboy bebop before watching it. Also, the Pillows worked well as a soundtrack to FLCL, and i like allot of their tunes too.

    Anime has some cool music somtimes.... But I digress. Sorry to change the thread topic ppl.

    Nope, we're missing a few....

    • Shows up with a Hot Rod Deluxe.
    • Shows up with a MetalZone pedal.
    • Shows up with a guitar with a pointy body that isn't an original korina
    • Shows up with a Boss pedal that isn't modified by Keeley or Analogman
    • Insists that you play the "Jimi" version of All Along the Watchtower in Am.
    • Insists that you remove the "and" from "the wind began to howl" in above song, because that's not the way Dylan wrote it..
    • Insists that you play All Along The Watchtower in general.

    He switches strats in the middle of Watchtower because "the rosewood fretboard sounds better on the 2nd solo."

    --thinks he can get a flanging or delay sound with his fingers alone.
    --beligerently extols the virtues of oxygen free cables
    --insists that a wound G string is the only way to get a 'full' sound.
    --won't stop talking about Delbert McClinton.
    --dismisses entire decades of music.
    Tone is in the fingers, eh? Let's hear your Vox, Marshall and Fender fingerings then...
