Need a good 'comeback' for..."How do you get that thing..."

[Ken Smith]

Dave, how big is that Bass of yours, 7/8 or 4/4?

Gee, I wish I would have gotten a 3/4...

I was walking in Philly with a Bass and a girl passing by said with a smile, "I always wanted to play the Cello"..

I couldn't talk. Maybe that's why she didn't.. Clueless

How do you get that thing under your chin? "Sure buddy, hold still and I'll put it under yours so you can get a better idea". Spear the wise guys' neck..

Speaking of Big, I am thinking of taking out the 4/4 Panormo school bass out this weekend. No low notes that I have seen in the music as I took the Martini last night to rehearsal and didn't touch the C-extension at all except to tune up.. 'A Night in Old Vienna' theme. Um pa pa Um pa pa..and a few runs here and there.

We gotta get a few guys together and have a 'Duel of the 4/4s'.. No 7/8ths allowed in to watch without a parent..

Ken, maybe you should give her the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps she was thinking,
"Hey, there's a guy with a double bass, that reminds me of how much I've always wanted to play the cello. Even if I didn't get very good, it'd be easier to carry around that that guy's bass.
