daz Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 [quote name='risingson' timestamp='1349540995' post='1827562'] Don't ever expect anyone to pay any attention to who your instrument is made by. Count yourself lucky someone at least enquired! [/quote] Indeed. The only people to look at your headstock are other bass players. To everyone else it might as well say Walt Disney (or Acme) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyboy Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 [quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1349540173' post='1827538'] God I feel old sometimes! We were playing at a charity event in Edinburgh last night - which was great. After our short set I was approached by a lovely young lady, a volunteer I think ... LYL - " Oh hi, you're the guy that was playing the red bass" Me ( Rather chuffed) - " Yes , that's right" LYL - " Oh, I thought it looked, it looked really nice , like a Fender" Me - " Well , it's a Precision..." LYL - " Yeah , but what make is it, is it new?" Me " Well, no I got it in 1985" LYL " That's like 100 years ago, your older than my Dad! What make is it" Me " Well, it's a Squier by Fender " LYL - " So it's like a Fender ?" Me - " Exactly !" LYL - " So Fender make basses then ?" Me - " Yes , that's right" LYL - " Since when?" Me - " Well since the '50's" ( Yeah I know your great grandad was probably born then) LYL - " Oh my God, I thought they just made proper guitars!! Bye!!!" Me ( By now slighty bemused & slighty less chuffed) - " Bye, then." [/quote] Update/resurrection.. We played the same charity Battle of the Bands event a couple of weeks ago , and won ,again Before our short set I was approached by a lovely young lady, who looked kinda familiar.... LYL - " Hi, how are you?" Me - " I'm good, thanks..." ( Thinks , who is this LYL?) LYL - " How's your Fender?" She remembered The Red Fender Bass , and me! Bless... [size=1]Didn't tell her I didn't have it with me!![/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
