whoops I accidentally'd a bass guitar

I mean it was under £70 delivered, in working condition, and it's TRANSPARENT PURPLE!!

I told my coworker, who is a bassist, and he said "Get it otherwise you'll regret not doing so, even if it sucks."

@TonicBH Yeah I was just looking at that too.

This is the single that has the different chorus: https://www.discogs.com/release/891119-The-Offspring-Pretty-Fly-For-A-White-Guy

@TonicBH The way I ended up finding the single again was because for every other one the B-Side is All I Want, but on this single it was No Brakes and, as these were the first two Offspring tracks I was actually aware of I kinda made a memory of it.

@TonicBH SO because this was the INITIAL single here in the UK this is the version I had heard for months until Americana released and I was really fucking puzzled as to the lyrics change. I don't even know if there's ever been a published reason as to 1) why it ended up on that single or 2) why it was changed for the album

@TonicBH I meant to comment on this back when you posted it but forgot. The one that comes to mind for me is a version of Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) which has extra words in the chorus and, IMHO, actually scans better than what they went with.

It was only on one of the CD singles released in Europe, and I had to track that single down to be able to hear it again.

@dragonarchitect I'd love to get a beat up/not working bass and fix it and use that. I've heard that a good amp is more important nowadays, so that's what I'll be looking at more once I know what scale of bass I want.

Finding out that guitar technology has reached a level where it doesn't really matter what electric guitar/bass you buy when starting out has been a bit of an eye-opener; that even the cheap ones for sale at gear4music/Argos/etc are more than 90% par with more expensive instruments, is pretty awesome and also a relief that I don't need to worry about brands for my first bass.

@kevin thankee!
