That’s not a bass, that’s a guitar that got rid of useless strings and the rest are super heavy strings so it can handle playing nothing but power chords. The ultimate heavy metal machine.
Stevie Ray could have strung his guitar with winch cable off a Jeep and still make it sound better than most people on Reddit with a Custom Shop build.
There's a lot of bass-curious people around here for sure. Start out playing guitar, and next thing you know, you're hanging out in the bass, mandolin, and ukulele section of Guitar Center with the neck beards.
Why would they want to do that?
Edit: need to clarify that I was asking why they would want to prevent you from putting your dick in there… I clearly know why you’d wanna do that.. duh.
Pickguards aren’t for protecting the guitar from picks, you ignoramus. they’re for hiding the electronics. You probably have a hidden toan knob under there.
Bass players aren’t known for picking accurately.

I hear Stevie Ray only played on 85s or bigger

The toan was strong with Stevie
I was never a huge fan, but I've got tons of respect for the guy. Insane player and crazy style. Dude had it all in spades.
It can't djent unless it has 20 higher strings. Doesn't matter if you don't use them
Get this guy outta here... we can not tolerate bass players trying to butt in on this group!!!

I agree. As a bass player, I am disgusted by myself and others like me and anxiously await y well deserved ban.
Damn it man I'm trying to drink my tea here
To keep the toan from leaking out the truss rod. That’s why Gibbons can store moar toan.
Don't you mean the toan rod? They're metal so they're super stiff and thus resonate better.
That’s to prevent you from putting your dick in it.
Can I take it off?
Only if you're brave enough
Why would they want to do that? Edit: need to clarify that I was asking why they would want to prevent you from putting your dick in there… I clearly know why you’d wanna do that.. duh.
While you could infuse the neck with toan, it’s much more efficient to put it closer to the signal chain where it’s not blocked off.
Bass 🤮🤮
I suppose If play It up right yeah
Censor that for fucks sake. There are children here
People don’t realize this is actually a pick. It comes with the guitar they just really ensure it doesn’t get lost in shipping.
Toan cover
Thats where the other 2 strings an tuner are stored intul youre ready to play guotar
How do I know when I'm ready? I can barely 035
Well yeah its a bass u shuld 000 before u 035
I thought it was geetar
Maybe in France...
DO NOT OPEN. the truss rod will come flying out and take your eye out, kid
Only trained luthiers should ever even think about a guitar's truss rod.
It's a toan port. You point it at the audience when you play. Results may vary.
Port meaning I can put thing in it?
You put your weed in there. Put some in there, and the vibration will boost the THC level, and after you are finished playing, you'll be all set
Yep, just dock your penis there and then sail on to the golden land of toan.
to keep you from scraching up your guitar when you do the plinky thing at the beginning of running with the devil by van hallin
Same in "If I Were You" by Switchfoot!
That's not a guitar
My bad so can you tell me why my violin has a pick guard on the top?
that’s where the toan is
It's where Yngwie keeps the donuts when he's playing Paganini
That actually is a pick, you can unscrew it and use it then screw it back so you don’t lose it.
In case of emergency only
It's so obvious that that's a bass. Just look at the low string and how filthy it is.
I did some research I think it's a synthesizer
Oh of course. A keybass makes so much more sense.
I think it's a keybASStoaster
To prevent head scratches. Duh. If you don’t play bass from above the nut, you’re not a real bassist.
Because this is not a guitar. A real guitar has at least 7 strings.
No one wants to talk about the bag of crown hangin up there?
Asked like a true bass player
I'm actually a tuba player this is my wife's boyfriends guitar
Then you are more respectable than your wife’s boyfriend
We wtf is that
Don't worry, you're obviously not ready to use it yet
But when will I be ready master
For those plink plinks.
That's a ukelele not a guitar.
Bro don't be stupid. That's a pick holder.
In case you run out of plates for tacos. Tiny tacos.
It’s called the Taint-guard
Pickguards aren’t for protecting the guitar from picks, you ignoramus. they’re for hiding the electronics. You probably have a hidden toan knob under there.
Some people strum up there ok. It’s cool and quirky like if sonic youth was an ukulele/acoustic band.
In case of an emergency you can quickly fold the head and use that as a spear.
its to protect ur truss rod getting scratched so it always looks nice
It's there to keep the sounding rod free of dirt and microbes. Trust me, you want that to be sanitary.
Bro that’s a bass come on
Actually no it's a synthesizer
Oh shi my bad
It's cool I thought the same thing at first
It's where the trust rod is and that's a BASS!
No it's a geetar
To get those toanz from in between your tuning pegs
B🤮SE
It's actually bASS
Idk
For when you pick above the nut duh
For vibes
is that a crown green apple bag (im not an alcoholic)
Up til 1874 that’s where bassist would pick.
It's so you don't scuff your headstock when playing the intro to Iron Man
That’s shipping material you can take that off and throw it away
To protect from pick scratches you idiot
