Wow.

It makes sense, I reckon, to go through chronologically, if one wishes to piece together the evolution and shifting band formations. Too many good numbers to just cherry-pick, so I'd recommend one different album every two days, with one day off in between, starting from the beginning. That's keep you busy for quite a while...

I've played drums far more than bass. Nowadays things are much more calm and I'd take BRX's expression; I compose, and play bass for my compositions when it's required.

I think that a great deal depends on the raw material being good quality stuff from the outset, preferably filmed expressly for the occasion. I'll humbly admit, though, that my very first attempt was a far cry from that above (and successive ones not much of an improvement, unfortunately..! ). It didn't stop me from posting some of them here, though, back in the 'Promotion for the Basschat Composition Challenge' days.

Just watched the two programmes on 'tube, and thoroughly enjoyed both the presentation and the content. Well edited, well paced, varied, nice 'patter' and some good live music. What's not to like..? T'will be interesting to follow to the finals (if they all come up on 'tube...). Yes, I got to recognise Wot from the previous posts here; nice one, lad.

I suppose if anyone's to say they don't like it, it's probably me. Still, if it's supposed to look shabby, maybe that's a result..? It looks like a good candidate for a refin, though.

Here is what a guitar information site has to say... [url="http://www.muzique.com/schem/fret.htm"]Fretboard Care ...[/url]

I thought this was about cabs, not heads..?

I've never treated any of my guitars or basses in fifty years; they don't seem to suffer much. I wipe 'em down after playing with a clean, dry cloth. I've very recently bought a bottle of Dr Duck's, and wiped down my Takamine with it just the other day; a first. Maybe it depends on climate or something, but I've never seen any instrument needing regular upkeep of the sort. Maybe I've just been lucky. Every time the subject comes up on t'web, I see a whole raft of contradictions concerning the composition of these oils. Some say one thing, some another; it's rare to find consensus. Mineral..? Vegetable..? Lemon..? Tru-oil..? Gun-stock..? Boiled..? Raw..? All have been touted somewhere by someone. I use nothing.

[attachment=221547:cocabbage081613afeat.jpg] [/quote] That's no way to 'handle' cabbage..! I hope he 'leaves' them alone in future.

I came here looking for culinary or gardening tips. [Yoda] Disappointed I am. |/Yoda]

One advantage of living way out in the sticks. By the time the van gets here, he sure as eggs doesn't want to have to come back tomorrow..!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1465902667' post='3071943'] I think the euphemism is 'passed on through natural causes'. Or as I like to say, 'gone tits-up'. [/quote] Euphemisms are all very well, but sometimes a direct kick up the rear is the best ploy, or so I'm told.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1465900577' post='3071920']... I presume the previous bass player(s) didn't "shape up" then? [/quote] ... or died of old age..?

[quote name='The Dude On Bass' timestamp='1465838638' post='3071462'] Thanks for your warm welcome!!! I think I posted my video in the wrong section!!! I 'll post it again where it belongs!!! Thanks brothers! [/quote] Fixed, I've moved it to the 'Share your music' section. Please PM me your bank details so that I may invoice you correctly. Incidentally, when 'pasting' the Youtube link, edit to remove the 's' from 'https' to have the link properly embedded. Just sayin'. If you have issues (of any sort...) with a post, yours or anyone else's, the correct course of action is to use the 'Report' button; the Mods will see any message typed using that and will be able to act accordingly; usually very swiftly.

Good afternoon, JD, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1465817235' post='3071152'] Bwahahahahahahaha!!! I mean, it's good that they're trying and all, but really - [u][i][b]this [/b][/i][/u]is what the fuss was about? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! [/quote] Everyone starts out somewhere. Some have survived worse... http://youtu.be/QQyB5buEV5s Personally, I find the apostrophe more shocking than anything else, but there you go...

[quote name='The Dude On Bass' timestamp='1465808361' post='3071058'] Thanks for your welcome! is it alright if I post a video of me playing bass lines to introduce myself? [/quote] It is indeed; we even have specific sections of the forum for just that..! Have a look here, maybe..? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/95-share-your-music/"]Share your music ...[/url] There are several other opportunities for participating, such as the Noodle Bar and the Basschat Composition Challenge, too, as well as a place for videos of live gigs, or your favourite clips. It's all here somewhere; have a look round; make yourself at home...

Good evening, TDoB, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. There are more than a few here on the Continent (I'm in France, too, hence the '33' and '53'...), so you are far from alone.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1465769816' post='3070905'] But are the small ones more juicy? [/quote] Maybe, but less appeal.
