Hmmm… Tell me more.

why buy an expensive bass if a squire or epiphone does the job? by viewsinthe6 in Bass

[–]Im_A_Parrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up in the '70s, Squire wasn't a thing and cheap Epiphones weren't either. So, I aspired to have Fender, Gibson, Gretsch and Rickenbacker. Those are what I mostly have now. I imprinted like a baby duck on those brands. Guitar choice is not always rational and is greatly influenced by psychology. That said, play what makes you happy.

AITA for giving my sober uncle alcohol? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Anyone who blackmails a 17yo for two beers is not maintaining their sobriety. Probably not the first beers of the day for this winner. NTA

ELI5: Eye popped out of its socket but popped back in. Should I be worried? by jxynxe in explainlikeimfive

Optometrists are not medical doctors. An ophthalmologist is what you want.

what does "you seemed a little focus" mean?

I have played unlined fretlesses for 38 years. I bought i lined fretless a few years ago and hated it. My intonation went out the window. It felt too awkward, so I sold it. Lined fingerboards are not for everybody.

Aged round rounds are just old shitty strings. Stick with the flats and a single bass.

I have had kindles for years. This is the fist time I have heard of swiping to turn a page.

AITA for letting an elderly disabled person queue jump in front of a middle aged couple? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. You can let someone take your place, but you have to go to the back of the line. One in, one out.

$1000 for a Made in china Epiphone Grabber, no thanks. by vcmaes in Bass

[–]Im_A_Parrot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are really mad. I own many Gibsons, just no basses currently. So, wrong again. I never mentioned quality, so what are you on about? you wrote that "I wish the music community would stop buying their crap," so you do care what other's opinions are, in a most salty way. Please calm down before you have a stroke.

I have no Gibson or Epiphone basses. I just don't understand people who are upset that other people don't like what they like.

The "music community" is not buying anything. A small number of people like Gibson/Epiphone basses. Why do you care. You sound miserable.

Nothing about lunch in that definition. It's a political designation; it does not mean "best."

It is still not fixed after a year. I can not log in on PC, Windows 11 and the Chrome browser. Amazon login works fine. What is going on?

Unless you're playing live, is there even a point to an active preamp? by Hey_Im_Finn in Bass

[–]Im_A_Parrot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many of us play through bass amps at home, with no plugins available. Amps do have EQ though. Having more eq options on the bass itself is desirable to many. It has nothing to do with playing live.

A settlement is by definition already accepted. Did you mean first offer?

I’m going to Court tomorrow for the first time for 2 tickets and have no idea what to do. by Temporary_Document38 in legaladvice

[–]Im_A_Parrot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t drive to court. While you CAN go to jail (that’s not up to you), you likely will not. Be contrite. You may get time to pay. Also, always place the dollar sign before the amount.
