The body of a bass guitar can be used to damn the flow of water in a gutter.
Is that a positive or a negative? |

+ or - depends on the Brand mainly..

Ken, are you having a good birthday?
A double bass has big f holes that you can store small things in. |

Positive for sure. The neck of the DB makes an excellent gutter spout auger.

Must be the 3 1/2 months older than me that you are, but you did eventually grasp the entire deal. You had me worried for a fleeting moment.

Well, whatever it takes to get you off your sorry behind and quit moaning about whatever it is that you moan about, and get your double bass playing self back on the hill of sunshine. That's the mission I have chosen to take for the sake of my big bass playin' man down there in NZ. I'm sorry that you're mad, but to you are h&k's.

Yes my friend, but sometimes less is more.

I'm sorry Oren, my old friend, but I made up that bit about the double bass having more strings.
And now I've gone and used an angry face when I should have chosen one to represent my more apologetic state. Probably a guy with a soft smile would have worked better. Maybe this guy - . A double bass doesn't have a chin rest. Oops, sorry again, I compared it to a violin and not a bass guitar. |

You can grow flowers through the f holes of a double bass.

Yes - but can you grow pea-nuts?

What are you guys talking about?
How can you expect an ounce of a serious reply with all this childish clowning around. Maybe just change the name of the threat do people don't mistake for something actually about the bass. Cause.. it's not! |

typo..
It was for a typo you made a big deal about. It's fixed so I deleted your reminder. Didn't make sense leaving your post if the typo was fixed, does it?

Big deal? Me? It was a sort of tongue in cheek reply to your reprimand.
Ken, even my dear ol' mum didn't look after me that well! Thanks for the consideration. |

So, what makes these two instruments different?
The double bass stands next to you, like a dancing partner. It doesn't demand logic, more that you show everyone in the room that the two of you are together, like a team. The bass guitar needs more physical support. The bass guitar is more needy. A bass instrument isn't something that should be defined by ****ytical comparison. It dwells in the same realms as a wife does. So, let us rise above the notion of logical comparison - things like "I can play faster on this one" or "This one has a better tone." Why not move into the space of "I could grow flowers in this", for, in the end, isn't that what what life and art are all about? |

My first guess would be that we're much younger than you and have not completely grown up. Secondly, what does it matter if the children are acting up a bit? After all, it's not the formula to the Atom bomb that we're dealing with. Serious and not serious can ALL reside in harmony in the same thread, and in fact, that is often what makes threads interesting.

I'm not sure what this means. Maybe a typo, a missing word or words or something?

One last post on this. This thread is in violation of the specific subtitle under the category in which it appears. The Bull Pit - "Anything NOT About Basses. General Topic Hang."
To me, it's no big deal, but if there is going to be as much scrutiny, censorship and control as has been demonstrated previously, maybe there should be a specific category for childish exchanges, but limited to adults only and labeled so that forum folks will know that there's a good chance for BS. Maybe that's where some of the threads and posts would best be done and left alone. I've personally had no problems with many of the violations that have been ignored. In fact, most have been fun and interesting and yes, occasionally informative. There are a number of other categories where one can be super serious and that is fine for those categories. Life is short - enjoy your allotted time. |
