me and my dad went to a music store and he wans in the room next door while i was in the bass room

i asked the dude who worked there (he was in the room) to try out the 51 ri bass and he said "ohhh little dude, lets try something more on ur budget"
my responce was " my bass is more than that" he asked what bass so i told him bout pizo my sterling fretless and he asked me what the ser number was and i couldent tell him and he said i was a lying and this 51 ri was worth more than me

my dad heard all of this and came in pissed and said " buddy hes not lying, my son dosnt lie and u better get that bass down or ill go get the man in charge. my son has been playin for 3yrs and has a bass thats is worth more than ur life&job so if u dont wanna lose both i would get that bass down!"

so he did and not that bad of a bass i might add

When I was about your age I asked to play an American Fender Strat with no problem. They even let me play the $3000 PRS they had. Of course, I was buying a $400 guitar so that could be why they treated me so nice. :lol:

A lot of those salesmen get a commission. If I was actually planning on buying a guitar.....I'd probably give the sale to another salesman.

Hmm... Sounds like tensions went high.

And, yeah, that '51 RI looks pretty sweet. Ironically, I was just looking at it on Musiciansfriend.

Sometimes I wish I had a bass... But I need a new acoustic and amp first.

I've dealt with similar problems for 21 years now. Some dosser of a lowlife looks at you dressed like a scruff and instantly dismisses your buying/playing potential.
One of my all time favourite moments as a guitarist was about 6 years ago. I wandered into a shop dressed in my work clothes (good british builders look like homeless people) and enquired about a engl amp. Frowns and grumbles all round from the shop staff. When i said i wanted to try it through a prs mcarty as i have one (i dont, i wanted to check the guitar not the amp but without the endless sales speil about the guitar) they said no. The ponce played it facial gestures and all then handed me a squire to plug in. I thought 'i'll show him' and mimic'd his co workers riffs around the shop and some of the customers. Told him the amp was crap and walked out.

I hate pompous schmucks
