True. You can still get a nice clean strat tone from it however.


In the larger sense of the word, no. But on this board? The conversation might go something like:

"Eric Clapton, my name is Dilemma. Pleasure to meet you, I own one of your Signature Strats."

"My pleasure, and I am glad you enjoy the Strat."

"Noob"

"Umm, excuse me?"

"I called you a Noob."

"WTF is a 'Noob'?

"Someone who is new to a forum. You are new here, so you are a Noob."

"Does someone have a Gibson I can clobber this buffoon with?"

this is awesome

I thought exactly the same.


I really do hate the term 'Noob', it's completely rubbish. It conveys this whole underlying, unspoken idea of someone new to a internet site not knowing anything. Sorry but assuming somebody knows nothing is complete arrogance and therefore stupidity in my book.

Clapton is a noob.




sounded way too funny in my head not to post
