Doing Things Wrong

Not Funny

Exploding drummer - now that's funny !!!

While surfing the internets, I found this list of drummer jokes that someone has maliciously edited into bass player jokes. These are the worst ones. This is not funny at all. This is the sort of thing that gives guitarists a bad name.

Q: How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one - but the guitarist has to show him first.

Q: How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Six. One to change it, five to fight off the lead guitarists who are hogging the light.

Q: How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. The keyboard player can do that with his left hand.

Q: What's the first thing a bass guitarist says when he knocks on your door?
A: "Pizza!" ( Note: This is definitely a drummer joke ! )

Q: Did you hear the joke about metal music?
A: I don't remember how it goes, but the punchline is "the bass player got hit by a car".

Q: What does a bass guitar and a lawsuit have in common?
A: Everyone is relieved when the case is closed.

A young child told his mother "When I grow up I'm going to play the bass guitar."
His mother responded "Well honey, you know you can't do both."
( Note: Definitely another drummer joke. )


How do you get a drummer off your porch?

Widely regarded as the greatest pizza deliveryman of all time
In fairness, the rest of the band do a great job too
Drummers through the ages
Even Ludwig Van had to start somewhere
No explanation necessary
Must have own car
Tip generously, mp3s are killing album sales
Even in the deepest Amazon jungles
Make your own

The belt attachment is what makes it far superior to an ordinary spindle sander. Belts have a far greater working area than the small cylinders most spindle sanders have. They last longer and are cheaper to replace, and are available in a wider variety of grits. The #36 belt is ideal for removing material to make a rough shape, then clean up with a #80. The big end of the belt drive is a 2-1/2" diameter, which turns out to be by far the most useful part of the machine, and exactly matches many of the curves on a Fender neck. Of course, there are smaller spindles all the way down to 1/2" for tight spots. The flat on the belt will cut reasonably straight for small parts that fit entirely in it, but anything that overhangs the ends is going to be gouged by the rollers unless you are very careful - light touch and always moving the workpiece. It's good exercise.
