Quote from CL reply:
"Casper" and "Bukka" are stupid names for a bass."
If I ever get a Fender Rascal, I'll name it Gumby.
Don't think i'd call the response "witty".
Scathing,yes. Witty,not so much.
(But i do agree with what he said....)

Hi,
They've already got one gig booked, and it's even a PAID gig. Real pros!
Thank you for your indulgence,

Yeah. I stop reading any such ad the minute they mention their gear. If you're pros, I expect you to have pro gear. And if you're a pro, I expect you to shut the hell up about my gear because I am a pro (semi, really) and of course I have pro gear, and don't really give a rip what you think of it. And ... if you are pros, I'd expect you to find that guitar player somewhere other than Craigslist. Sheesh!
tsk tsk, spelling résumé incorrectly
Well I'll be damned, I had no idea 'Mustang Sally' was
absolute, real world, authentic Blues.
I wonder why all the "authentic" blues bands never play it?

"We are all seasoned pros with serious gear and have world class marketing/business/legal skills and have proven real world experience in these areas. "
And you're advertising on CL.

How many bassists on here would state: "I don't fool around with any effects because I'm good. Damn good."?
So which one is the lawyer?"We are all seasoned pros with serious gear and have world class marketing/business/legal skills and have proven real world experience in these areas. "

Frankly, no one who lives on Lon-gEYE-land would know the difference.
(As a former LI-lander, I know this from experience. Reason Number 3,942 for not living there anymore!)

I think the response revealed much more about the responder than the original ad writer.
But the original ad ain't pretty after the 2nd sentence either.

That's my new response to any thread about effects. Youse guys will know the inside joke.
Dang. I lived but a couple miles north east of that blast radius between 1960 and 1973. I'm glad I got out before the that monster blues scene blew up.
Right you are but I have heard,
Effects? We don't need no stinkin' FX...where's the gold?
Somebody please please make a fake response to this add and get them to go to Manhattan and rent the studio and guitar amps for nothing and then post it to this thread.
I finally looked at the original ad with their photo. Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts. The standard uniform of a true bluesman.
