Marvin Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I drive an old Mondeo to practice and gigs, think I'm automatically excluded. And I don't own a p bass. And neither do I wear sports stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painy Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1368194891' post='2074348'] Does TE qualify as chav now ? That could make a lot of sense . [/quote] Well they were available with 'neon downlighting' Funnily enough, tonight I shall be playing through a borrowed TE AH400SMX in my Rock covers band (my trusty old Ampeg B500 died on me last week - sob) and will be using my P copy on a few numbers although I'll be using my Fender Jazz for most songs. Where does this leave me?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafbass02 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 No p bass, but I drive this, which I'm pretty sure qualifies me here [URL=http://s34.photobucket.com/user/gafbass02/media/imagejpg2-3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/imagejpg2-3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriswareham Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The case for the prosecution: Lives in Enfield. Drives a beat up Mitsubishi FTO Works, but attire is jeans, T-shirt, trainers and stubble Preferred drink is lager Plays a second hand Jap copy through a junk shop amp and speakers The case for the defence: Enfield's actually nice west of the A10 where I live The FTO was a gift from my brother I'm a computer programmer so scruffiness is obligatory I only drink lager made to the Purity Law (German, Czech or Polish) The copy is a high end Greco Rickenfaker and the amp has been rebuilt from the chassis up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradwell Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Me: "Would you like a cup of tea?" Friend: "That would be great, milk and three sugars please." Me: "Uh, no, I've only got Earl Grey and it's usually served black. I've not got any white sugar in the house either, is demerara alright?" Friend: "You're too middle class for your own good."

Weststarx Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I had one Birthday party gig I turned up to in a mis-matched tracksuit/Pjamas before. I NEVER go out in a tracksuit or anything that would resemble me looking like a chav but I ended up watching a film and really getting into it. I completely forgot about the gig, and left myself 10 minutes to do a 45 minute journey. All I had time to do was throw my gear and some nice clothes in the car and put my foot down! As you can imagine I got a fair bit of abuse from the band for being late, and turning up to someone birthday party looking like I was about to steal all the gear. I also play a P Bass in a covers band [u]USING A PICK[/u] Edited May 11, 2015 by Weststarx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradwell Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1431356203' post='2770383'] I put milk in my Earl Grey. Does that mean I'm in? [/quote] Personally I think that's disgusting, but it doesn't indicate a preference for Tetley / PG tips / Asda's own brand over Earl Grey. Consider other criteria such as have you resprayed your bass with pearlescent car paint? Are you playing through a battered 4x10 cab even though two of the cones are busted and have to be disconnected? etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
