I imagine that Americans are to blame though I tried playing some butter the other day - it just made a mess and really doesn't play very well at all.

Err.. it literally doesn't. Unless it's followed by "Reason for selling: I can't stop it playing itself. I've barely slept in the last fortnight, and the neighbours are complaining about the noise."

bubinga5 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I do wonder if the term _it plays like butter" refers to Jaco who used to put butter or chicken grease on his fingers before playing.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Ohh... deep thinking there @bubinga5. Nahhhh... doubt it's that clever. Maybe Jaco got the greasy fingers idea from stoopid dudes saying "wow, it plays like butter". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 One that always makes me chuckle is; "There's a slight problem with the tone pot / jack socket / earth wire (delete as appropriate) - but this is an easy fix" .... so why haven't you fixed it???

discreet Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Or a bass that's so embarrassingly bad the seller resorts to '...don't really know much about it, selling for a friend...' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
