Listen to ?Gimme Shelter" by Grandfunk to hear that stingin' bass. )
Like I said before, if you play a guitar and wear a kilt . . .well, you will not want for female companionship. As for me, I'll take that Gretsch 1620, a Gibson 335, or a Les Paul anyday for electrics. (Actually, I'm too old to be that cool anymore, so I usually show up with an Alvarez Yairi and do more laid back stuff.)
Man, just put on a kilt and wail.
You'll do fine.
