Guitarists eh? sheesh Hiow familiar does the following sound to you guys? I was in a band....well the beginnings of one years back where the guitarist had written a tune. Fairly simple but nice in its own right. "Can you put some bass to it?" So I write a line that fits behind the guitar line nicely IMHO and has a few little incidentals to sauce up his melody line. "Ooh that sounds good" and he starts playing my line. Grrr. "Ok" thinks I and writes another line to go behind what was my bassline but is now his guitar line. And feck me with a shovel, he does it again. Im no longer in that band

At the end of the day, theres so much to choose from. Quite prolific little space trolls, werent/arent they? Tho ASAM not one of my faves, its still in my collection. "....fell onto the carpet, crawled across the floor, up on my shelf, inside my piggy bank, and............stole my stash." "STOLE MY STASH!!!!"

Hi, well done for sticking around. This place will delight you and frustrate you in equal and sometimes unequal measure. It does me anyhow Kind of like my wife really. Tho why would my wife be delighting you? I think you me an explanation good sir. And possibly child maintenance. I am undone

Tho Ive never seen it in the flesh, I think the most beautiful bass i have ever seen is Big Red X's stunning Sei offset Flamboyant. If you are ever in the need of another left nadger Big red X, i gladly would trade mine for it

Honestly, youre so vain......Ill bet you think etc

[quote name='marcus bell' timestamp='1365536658' post='2040925'] absolutely love tony levins stuff, what a player... so yeah the bass is now a lined fretless and running through a few paul young and peter gabriel numbers cracking stuff! [/quote] Jeez, that was quick!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1365421622' post='2039218'] You'd explode at the speed of light! [/quote] I suspected it might be something like this......or worse

I used to use a Samson Concert 4, my band had a coupleof songs in low A and I never had a problem. Ive still got it, and would love to be able to use it, but i dont think I can, is that right? What would happen if I did?

While there is a thread going for little things that we cant figure out, can someone please explain the purpose of a ramp, coz I cant get my head round them? Also, Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?

wow, ive learned im not in acovers band after all, but in a 'Tribute' band thanks basschatters......I think?

Is that Rod Hull?? "Wheres myyyy JEELLLYYYY!!!!!"

[quote name='Davetheglitz' timestamp='1364337461' post='2025224'] Glad to hear about yours though!! How are you feeling about Friday! [/quote] Nervous but then I kinda expected that, i havent been on stage in over a decade

Hey Dave Nice to see you on here bud, sorry to hear about your band

Im in a covers band because i got the job - I honestly didnt expect to. And like the OP, I thought Id never do covers, but the band Im now with gives me a heck of a challenge and its very enjoyable, first gig in a couple of weeks , I may change me mind after that tho!

hmmm, I could have sworn Id already commented on this, but it seems not Anyway, what I woulfd have put would have been " Really liking that tune mate " or summat like that, 'coz I do, its great

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1362875505' post='2005820'] Sorry, for all the Keiths out there, this is how we spell it! Oh, and as ex Yorks knew exactly what you meant by "plays pop" [/quote] Oopsy! beg pardon to all Keefs

Discreet - Im waiting for your avatar to try and hypnotise me...... maybe it already has

hes married to Kieth Chegwin

I think thatmay be the most hideous thing Ive ever seen

I think Id be telling the agent where to go, and also showing any correspondence to the other venues he 'manages' telling them why you arent or wont be playing thier venue anymore, even tho you love the place and its clientele etc Im sure the other venues will get the hint

Whoever did your plastering seriously ripped you off :/ Nice bass tho

Yeah ive done it, more than once too. But that was in thedays when I was a lot more svelte, would definately not get the same reaction nowadays!

Reckon thatll go on my xmas list if i ever get round to making one lol

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1354465739' post='1886262'] Good afternoon, Tom... I'm sorry, but this kind of appeal, however well-founded, is quite the last to motivate me, and possibly others, to respond. There are several fundamental flaws (imho...) which go against my upbringing and 'culture', such as deservedness, worth and 'honesty'. It could be (slightly...) different if you had at least asked to listen to the purported entry, along with others, and judge the likeability for ourselves. Asking for a blind (or, in this case, deaf..?) vote is not on, in my book. No disrespect,and I wish no malice to anyone involved, but this doesn't work for me, at least. Good luck with the competition, but on loyal terms. [/quote] very well put
