It's kind of Survivor meets the Eurythmics.

[quote name='woaheasylang' post='1117334' date='Feb 6 2011, 05:43 AM']all i can say is jeff berlin is an amazing bassist.. you can really tell that hes passionate about music and he doesnt seem to be the type to sugarcoat his critic.. i would be honored to receive his honest opinion(positive or negative) about my playing.. it would really challenge me to be a better musician[/quote] Welcome to the forum Jeff.

[quote name='Johngh' post='1114630' date='Feb 3 2011, 10:18 PM']Only if folk want to turn up on the forum just to cause trouble by posting offensive comments. In my view.[/quote] And you think someone like Jeff Berlin couldn't deal with this kind of behaviour? Perhaps a proffessional who spends their life being analysed on stage and studio couldn't deal with criticism? I don't buy the whole "suck up to the pros" argument. My knowledge of JB would suggest he's more likely to post if he thinks he'll cause an argument. Amongst bass players he's now more famous for his metronome argument then his playing.

[quote name='Johngh' post='1114568' date='Feb 3 2011, 09:33 PM']I guess the way this thread will end up will be a classic example of exactly why a lot of name players don't sign up to the forum and share their views with us. They will just get flamed by the 0.1% of trolls on here. Soz, just my view of it.[/quote] But it's ok to flame the 0.1% then? In your view?

We need the Seasick Steve of the bass world.

[quote name='ikay' post='1111351' date='Feb 1 2011, 05:54 PM']here's one for starters - Alain Caron 'Ink Illusion', F Bass AC6, watch for the octave pedal to kick in at 1min 15, awesome ... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITQd2NtbOKA&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITQd2NtbOKA...feature=related[/url][/quote] I swear he's doing that just to upset me.

Love these. Is it just the Jazz pickup that was added? What made you go for this mod over just getting something like a Fender Jazz Special?

[quote name='Bilbo' post='1088116' date='Jan 13 2011, 04:04 PM']Do you know any of them?[/quote] No.

Rush fans have hardly any friends on Facebook. I hate Rush and have, like, hundreds of friends.

His tone towards the end was dreadful. Bad hearing caused him to crank up the treble or he couldn't hear himself on stage.

[quote name='Sibob' post='1053242' date='Dec 9 2010, 07:28 PM']"Always listen to music you don't like, you might learn something"........can't remember who said that, but quite true I think.[/quote] [quote name='Mike' post='1053299' date='Dec 9 2010, 08:12 PM']Janek Gwizdala is a great believer in this.[/quote] Maybe its the only reason people buy his albums?

Looks real good. What will you be playing it through?

[quote name='Jase' post='1029196' date='Nov 19 2010, 12:42 PM']Well, Captain Fireblanket......Pete has made a good point.....arseholes like you piss off the guys that have something to share in the bass world! 2 definite arseholes: BBC and Captain Fireblanket, sorry Elcapitan [/quote] There's no need to put the laughing face, your hilarious posts highlight what a comedy genius you are.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1029333' date='Nov 19 2010, 01:52 PM']What the f*** are you on about?[/quote] Shooting sychophants. Like you.

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' post='1028631' date='Nov 18 2010, 10:46 PM']The Tip-Ex in a dispenser does a pretty straight white line [/quote] I bought 50 bottles of Tip-Ex the other day. Big mistake.

[quote name='silddx' post='1027887' date='Nov 18 2010, 01:18 PM']He certainly is. Just ignore him mate like the rest of us do. Back on topic ..[/quote] And there's me hanging on your every word.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1026264' date='Nov 16 2010, 07:42 PM']We should be honoured that a player of his stature and experience be a part of this forum. Imagine the advice he would have given for nothing, just like Joe Hubbard has?[/quote] Have you ever been honoured to meet anyone? Really? I've met a few of my heroes and always been underwhelmed. Stevie Wonder's sh*t stinks, and he doesn't even have the common courtesy to use the bog brush. Sychophants like you should be shot like pigs.

Serious stuff this.

a hundred and six notes? f*** mine.

[quote name='PaulWarning' post='994504' date='Oct 20 2010, 10:01 AM']Well I suppose you'll hear any bass if it's loud enough compared to everything else, a good amp will only achieve so much, its the computer saying, rubbish in rubbish out, If I were to say a quality bass sits better in the mix it might be better understood what I'm getting at.[/quote] [quote name='ElCapitan' post='993018' date='Oct 19 2010, 12:31 AM']What's the warning for? You being an idiot?[/quote]

[quote name='PaulWarning' post='958523' date='Sep 16 2010, 03:48 PM']If you buy a cheap bass no one will hear you cause they don't cut through in a band situation[/quote] What's the warning for? You being an idiot?
