NPD: Strange things happen when you're trying to repair a bass guitar...

[Iron1]

I have a backup Ibanez SR500 that has some onboard preamp issues I've been trying to fix. Finally decided the best option was to just replace the onboard preamp, guts and all, and move on with life.

While searching for a good donor bass, I ended up going another direction and came home with this:

I posted this in the amp & cab forum cause I sold a 412 to pay for it and we apparently don't take kindly to drummers around these parts...

To make it even weirder, the guy I bought it from gave me a set of golf clubs for buying the drums... cause that makes all.the.sense.

Literally can't make this stuff up.

So, now I'm going to learn how to play drums - or golf. Or beat on them for awhile and trade them in for a bass... who knows. It's anarchy.

FORE!

Piece of sage advice....
Destroy the golf clubs.
Now.
Completely.
Then dig a deep hole and bury all of the remnants.


Now pick up a White Stripes album and copy Meg's simple beats as a starting point.

Sweet! Drums are so much fun! I sometimes enjoy playing a kit more than a guitar.

May I suggest using the Clubs as Sticks? Maybe make a video of you doing so. Could go viral.

Save the golf bag though!

Hahahahah nothin’ beats a good “I was looking for a shitty bass to steal it’s pre-amp and came home with a drum set” story!

Personally, drums are my favorite instrument to play and I sometimes wish I made it my main instrument in my teens instead of keeping it on this “I don’t have space” back burner.

BEAT THE HELL OUT OF ‘EM!!!

Double kick or gtfo.

Words to live by, honestly.

That may have to wait til I swap pickups in my Arrow-1000... EMG for Iron Cobra + Bocci Ball set.

Whenever double bass comes up I gotta tell the John Bonham story.
He's hearing all about Ginger Baker's Army and his new huge double bass kit.
Goes to see them and is thoroughly unimpressed and in the spirit of the moment,
records a new Zep track using two drumsticks in each hand as a semi-spoof.

Ya, it inspired the song title.

Double Bass Overkill, no Midrange Guitars, and Bass Guitars you can't hear was a Movement.

"it's in the way that you use it, boy don't you know."

I am really surprised that nobody has pointed this out yet, while there is a bass drum in that kit, it is not a bass... Now go find the bass you meant to purchase. :)
