i mean, really, which of these seems more likely:
1) cute and attractive member of audience comes up to you after gig, says "wow, i really like your bass. it just has such an incredible midrange presence, combined with a fantastic warmth and depth that really just stands out in the mix -- and i particularly like the way your amp handled the transients of your playing."
--or--
2) cute and attractive member of audience comes up to you after gig, says "wow, i really like your bass. it's pretty. can i touch it?"
not that 1) couldn't happen, of course....[/quote]
Cute and attractive members of the audience always want to touch my instrument after the gig
