I was playing a gig not too long ago...we were supporting a big UK band, and their tour support was a typical trendy London band (dicks really).

Anyhoo, I knew the moment I saw him the bassist was going to be a twat, I just knew it. And sure enough as I was talking to him, he was always 1 upping the rest of us: "Oh, you play a 4 string bass? Yeah, I play a 5, more to work with, makes me better", "Oh, my amp has EQ built in", He even started discussing how much money they made....

Anyways, as we were about to soundcheck, I got out my Mark IV, set it all up, and this bloke comes over...

"Oh, you play a Mark IV? Yeah...they're OK, I had one (Yeh, he plays guitar too apparently), but I traded it in for the Mark V"

:lol:

:lol:

That's classic! What an idiot!
Unless maybe he's testing for Mesa.... lmao!!
 
you should've told him how much better the IV's are than the V's, but you're waiting on a new VI straight from mesa signed by RS... ;)
 
:lol:

I havent had the chance to meet somebody like this at a show yet.

The closest I've gotten was "oh you're playing Mark IV, huh? sweet amps! probably the best amp Mesa ever made"....

then me: "yeah I'm thinking about experimenting a bit with more Mesas and probably some Marshalls".

Him: "ahh Marshall, NOW you're talking amps...."

:lol:
 
You should have said, "Really?? I had you pegged for a Dual Inverted Cascading Kilowatt Silicon Unidirectional K-bus Rectifier Rackmount... (D.I.C.K.S.U.K.R.R.) fan. Most douchebags play through those." That would have had him thinking for a while.

That's awesome! I doubt i'd be able to remember that and regurgitate it when confronted by such an ignoramus!
 
you should tell him: They are sweet, but I've upgraded my IV to V* and it's killer.

and tell him something about your triaxis v3.0 slim mod :lol:
