I'm like Phil above, started playing (mid life crisis, bass or a motobike...music seemed safer!), answered an ad after about 3 months noodling in bedroom, band gave me 3 songs to learn,, we jammed em, I was in. 1st gig about 6 weeks later, with 4 original songs too. 10 years later I'm still learning, still loving every minute of it. get out there and scare yerself trying, the adreneline rush is huuuuge!

LMAO!! Sorry I couldn't resist!

Hmm must sort a pic out soonest, I love that tee you were wearing Blue, not seen that design before. Lefty is that a bass or a necklace you are wearing?

[quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1332590354' post='1590367'] But, dear God, did you see the dodgy 1980's long coats that musos wore in those days?? [/quote] I still have mine! Was thinking of breaking out again....maybe not......

Break the proverbial! and have fun

Woohoo! thats my friday night sorted then!! I might have to do the youtube thing too

Baboom tish! We are here all week folks!

I think the current issue, with Dave Ellefson, was the last of my current subscription, was in 2 minds anyway about renewing. Mind Def made up now! Ah well...moving on....anyone got any good cat pics?........oh ...wait....wrong thread

Yay I thought I was going gaga when I read that yesterday, it seems I ain't the only pedantic bugger round here And no it was an advert for a new Squier telebass I think. Thankfully the picture of said Bass had the spelling right on the headstock!!!!

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1331320409' post='1571477'] Someone was using this in the 70s: [/quote] No else thought this?.......*Oooh a Stak Stack*!!!!!! No? just me then

H H for sure, I think a guitarist friend of mine still has one

I kinda like it, always loved the ric..thanks to Chris Squire...until I played one..ugh! This however has a certain something......Would I buy one? not at the moment, got my new EB3 to play with

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1330874507' post='1564155'] Most random thing happened afterwards though. Just drove back to have lunch in Marlow with my BC book keeper Dave and we were spotted by a BCer who was in Pizza Express for his sisters birthday. I'm really sorry I have forgotten your username but it was great of you to come and say Hi! Give me a shout if it was you and I'll send you a present. [/quote] My name is Oopsy and I claim my 5 pounds...now...where is Marlow again?

was gonna say lazy git, but plays live...then saw thats the most popular choice right now and thought I'd better keep quiet!........erm ....wait.......did I type that out loud?

[quote name='Lenny B' timestamp='1330798397' post='1563219'] Well they nicked it from Floyd - that's what they did on the recording [/quote] Yup Saw Waters doing it in Hyde park a coupla years back on his solo tour. Gooood gig, got some REALLY dodgy video of me and me mates singing along to Wisha somewhere

[quote name='jonthebass' timestamp='1330771080' post='1562688'] Er, Nice bass but a slight hijack here - I have an [i]almost[/i] identical Bravewood available FS at just over a third of the price of that! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/154505-fs-bravewood-50s-p-bass-custom-ordered/"]http://basschat.co.u...custom-ordered/[/url] [/quote] Now then..THATS a nice bass, none of that 'relicing' malarky that totally shagged the Dusty Hill one

Smoooooth! Some buggers nicked yer headstock though

Great start to your Pink Floyd education my friend! Their music is far reaching and full of depth..enjoy
