You're not the only one to do that sort of thing. That reminds me of a time when I was young (about 17 or 18).

I got out my electric guitar, plugged it into the amplifier, turned everything on and strummed the guitar. All I heard was the quiet sound of the chord I had just played! Not a sound from my amp. So I twiddled some knobs on both the guitar and the amp. Still no sounds coming from the amp. So now that I know that my amp has a problem and I start looking for it. I reached over the back, I touched the back of where the AC lead was plugged in. Well holy sh**! What a buzz. I had just zapped myself with 240 volts! But that wasn't good enough, my amp still wasn't working. So I reached over the back and touched it again. Whoa! Another 240 volt zap! Still my poor old amp refused to work and...yep...I reached over the back a third time and and touched it AGAIN (some people never learn do they)! Well I had had enough of the shocks so I went to put my guitar and amp away, when I noticed the volume knob on the guitar was at zero! It was the one knob that I had not touched. So I turned it up to ten and near blew my eardrums out! She was working fine.

But I'm telling you now, that was one shocking experience that I am not in a hurry to try again.


This is me "jamming" in the garage (around '76 or '77). I'm the one in the black singlet, playing the bass guitar
Sorry about the poor quality

Too bad you can't see my amplifier in that pic.

The worst part of it is that I was the lead singer as well! The other guys in the band refused to do any singing other than backing vocals, so I got the job of lead singer. I only found out years later (last year in fact), that because I could play and sing at the same time and none of the others could.

Playing bass and sing much harder then playing guitar and sing!!! Thats for sure. RESPECT!!!

How about that?

Yep, thats true. Im a pro sax player, and i have flight sim hobby. Thats how im getting zero sex appeal values But, at least im hot hitting negative ones 

But similar rw aviation graph will show Concorde pilots on top regardless of any skill, and Cessna pilots at the bottom 

Fighter pilots will be bellow Concorde, coz they young and foolish, and Amerijet 727 freighter pilots will be low, because of rumors that they dont have lavatory in their planes

BTW! There is a way to make flight sim hobby give zero, or, maybe even positive values!

You gotta buy real 727 nose section, and transform it into a sim. - thats for zero results, some girls likes lots of switches Im afraid of that kind of girls 

If you buy entire 727, transform nose into a sim, and passenger cabin into a super-luxury room - that could give a positive values

Just dont tell her how much it costs 

P.S. Its hard to do with a concorde nose section,....its too loooong 

Hey Windy.

I had a new girlfriend every other week because I got tired of fighting them off. So I dated them instead.
The ladies here in Aussie were uneducated, back then, they didn't know that the bass guitarist didn't have much sex appeal.
