she thought you meant a japan made bass or japanese bass.. or something.. Because it is very common to use the word "J" to subsidize "Japan or Japanese" in this forum, so in a way.. you kinda put us in a state of confusion..
If you had taken the time to read the

Ok, here.. i posted what it said:
Please dont use "Jap" as an abbreveation for Japanese / Japan; it can still be considered offensive due to its World War II connotations; if you *HAVE* to abbreviate (althoug really you just shouldnt) use J-~ eg instead of Jap Food try J-Food
