can't help but feel sorry for poor ahkiat.. all he wanted was to create a talking subject in the forums among us bassists.
no other intentions or what not, and i'm pretty sure he plays bass for the music as most of us do.
but he gets flamed quite a handful. guess not all people see the humour in his posts. oh wells
i feel you though
anw, i've been lucky enough not to hear anything mean about bass/bass players from my friends or the people i'd played with before. haha. all of them treat me with great importance.
though there are various jokes about bassists out there, i just get a good laugh out of them. LoL. some of them really are kinda true.
as for girls.. those that i know seem to appreciate the bass and drums more than anything else in a band. but i'm sure it doesn't apply to all girls anw.
