discreet Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yes, 'Squier'. But isn't it still pronounced 'squire'? Not 'skwee-er'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least every squier I've played has been on par with every bass ever, should have saved all that money wasted and brought a lord. [/quote] Bored WITH. That is all.

Grangur Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Your = statement of ownership. NOT "your a bass player" aaagggggghhhhhh!! You're = abbreviation of "you are". As in "You're a bass player There = as in "you left your bass over there". Their = as in "their instruments were in the van over there when they got nicked" See, it's easy. Now get it correct. Please. [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
