BigKahuna855 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 if god told me "you can only own one bass", what would it be?? time to convert, of course!! but if i had to choose then it would definatly be "The Purple Monster"(if you dont understand, check out the "pet names" thread) "I'm thinkin' we should let bump answer this one...

TShakazBlackRoots Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 Did I say women were possessions? Oh no I didn't. I just listed examples of various commandments. I could have said 'we are allowed one woman or one man for that matter (if yo a woman)'. That's the Christian view. Back home, muslims can have as many as 4 wives, and traditional marriages allow that too. Very generous belief system Back to the topic, you are allowed to OWN just one bass...what would it be?

davebrownbass Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Well, then, Jeremy, make mine the BASS harp. Or, assuming the worst, I'll choose Bass Harmonica to play with the accordian band.

haggard Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Probably a Fender Jazz (4 Str) black and white. That will be my next bass. I would however doubt if it should be a fretless...

TShakazBlackRoots Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 By the way, wouldn't it be nice if a bass guitar that could use the 'Accordion technology' was invented?

wraub Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Originally posted by Sweet Willie: Only one? OK, I'll take this one: Peace. --SWOk,Will wins the contest. His choice is a bass, a washing machine , a bathtub and most of a fishing setup. Is YOUR bass that versatile? As for accordions, a frequent poster on the SSS has this as his sig line- "What's the difference between an onion and an accordion? - No one cries when you chop up an accordion."

jeremy c Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Did you hear about the accordian player who stopped at the 7-11 on the way home from a gig? While he was getting his snacks, he remembered that his accordian was on the back seat and that he forgot to lock his car. He ran out to the parking lot but he was too late. There were now two accordians in the back seat. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim T. Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hey Jeremy! I once bought an accordian that turned out to be hot... So THAT'S what the cops meant???) I'm so naive-I thought it was stolen!

rockinredneck69 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I'm reminded of the Pepsi commercial I saw recently on t.v. where a young Jimi Hendrix stopped at a vending machine for a soda...the Pepsi machine was next to a guitar store, if he'd wanted Coke well...that was next to the accordian store. The jest of the add was "that was a close one", it got a giggle outta me. Donnie Peterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant - Toupé Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 My Pedulla MVP6 "Burt Reynolds" - love her to death and she will always be my baby. But if God really did say that to me - first I'd be shocked, then humbled and then offended that such an omnipotent wonder, the creator of mankind would punish man with such a horrible existence - one bass? where's Allah?

a boy named sue Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Heaven is full of extended range basses. The languages that the Bible was written in couldn't describe them as anything but harps! If I can only have one bass, I want yours.

_Sweet Willie_ Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Anyone else notice that PJR hasn't responded to this thread? My guess is that one of two things has happened: 1. He is curled up in fetal position, sucking his thumb and whimpering something about a false god. -OR- 2. His head is still spinning around and around, eyes bulging,and he's puking green stuff and speaking in tongues (sprinkled, of course, with some choice swear words for even greater effect).

moot Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 If there is a God, what does he play? Would he have a bass I could borrow? I would think it would be better than my best. What about accoustics in heaven? Boomy? Echo? Can I choose my own vocalists, guitarists, drummer? "He is to music what Stevie Wonder is to photography." getz76 I have nothing nice to say so . . .
