Turtle would probably come out of his shell to this

It's a very multifaceted question. After all, PRS guitars are incredibly flexible instruments, ideal for everything from blues lawyers to that scumbag tone.

For basses I'm mainly thinking Sadowskys, since I'm pretty sure their 5 string Js can vaporise you on contact if you don't have the right sort of degree. They're also active and utterly soulless, which almost makes them a strong contender, were it not for the fact that they don't really do scumbag to my knowledge. That's more of a Fieldy-esque Ibanez sort of thing.

Warwicks kinda do both, but I don't want that to be true because of Zender. Love early Jamiroquai. I'd also kinda get it if you'd say Music Man or maybe even G&L (RIP). I think those brands are all much too likeable.

PRS do have some basses, but they're just not the same to me.

I'm really stuck here. Maybe bass doesn't have a true PRS equivalent? What about other instruments?

Yesterday some friends and I went to one of SF's main soccer bars to catch the US vs Australia game. The bar let us in just before the game which was hours later than their usual opening time. The line to get in was blocks long

Why did they have us wait? Train was filming a music video. Fucking Train. They took forever to clear out their gear. Their manager was an insufferable twat who was bossing the line around so he could get a shot of outside of the bar without people in it. The band slipped out the back because the line was chanting 'Fuck Train' whenever someone associated with the band popped out

The bar owner seems to be quite the Train fan. There's a signed bass behind the bar. He gave a silly little speech about the band being friends and their next song or album or whatever shares its name with the bar. Blah blah blah. His speech and every time they played a Train song was met with chants of 'Fuck Train'. I couldn't get a 'Stop The Train' chant to take off so 'Fuck Train' had to suffice. The table of young-uns next to us was a blast and put more energy into the 'Fuck Train' chants than they did cheering for the game. I shared the WMTSS video with them

A US Soccer win, early beers on a Friday off work, and a crowd coming together for music snobbery was about as much fun as I could have hoped for

Dude is BEAMING
