Flea is a bell-end who needs to grow and stop jumping about like a 14 year old.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='568131' date='Aug 13 2009, 04:28 PM']It's where the action is such that the level of fret buzz is so high, the note actually stops sounding. You tend to get it at the extremes of the neck - ie the first few frets and the frets nearest the body (especially if you happen to "bend" the note in pitch)[/quote] Thanks.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='568120' date='Aug 13 2009, 04:18 PM']His setups choked out.[/quote] What does that mean?

I once did a gig with a 5w practice guitar combo. What made it worse was the fact that the gig was an open-air festival on the Mir Space Station and was thus performed in the vacuum of Space.

[quote name='Mr.T' post='562674' date='Aug 7 2009, 11:09 AM']I got to the point with that rig that I would just say to the g**tarist "How loud are you", adjust my level to suit (while he let a chord hang)..... and we would play![/quote] I know I'm a bit of a philistine with these things, but that's what I do currently. The difference being, I never take my own amp to gigs, so just use whatever the sh*tty house amp is! At most I turn that rubbish middle knob down that makes you sound like a prog rock tosser.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='562649' date='Aug 7 2009, 10:50 AM']Millions.[/quote] I'm there. And you know what they say about Northern birds......

Are there gonna be girls there?

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='562620' date='Aug 7 2009, 10:17 AM']Yes indeed, very hard not to throw punches, they advertised in the Loot as a Punk band.[/quote] Sorry for the thread hijack, but how long were you with them?

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='562572' date='Aug 7 2009, 09:29 AM']I left Bloc Party before they got big.[/quote] I met them briefly once and they were a bunch of tossers. Was that the case when you were with them?

[quote name='Musicman20' post='562133' date='Aug 6 2009, 06:10 PM']Its part science, engineering, physics and art.[/quote] Much like my love-making technique.

[quote name='rslaing' post='561382' date='Aug 5 2009, 07:22 PM']Bargain!! Can't get much for around £1.50p an hour these days. Well, not since I became too old to be a rent boy [/quote] I'd slip you a tenner rslaing. And I'd pay you for it.

It's not a "bot" but what about an angry Irish Gorrilla called Ape O'Plectic?

Tell me OG, what is it that makes the Shuker stand out above the rest (apart from the extra string)? Is it build quality, dimensions, weight, tone, a bit of everything etc?

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='560445' date='Aug 4 2009, 05:41 PM']Anyway, back to topic.[/quote] I haven't read it this month. Will probably pick it up on saturday and report back.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='560443' date='Aug 4 2009, 05:40 PM']Take another shot then.[/quote] I can't. I''m "spent".

I've missed you guys.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='560397' date='Aug 4 2009, 05:21 PM']what exactly has Janek done or said to cause the adverse reaction?[/quote] He stole a Jazz gig off me.

Whoopeedoo! We're all here! Afternoon fellas!

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='560354' date='Aug 4 2009, 04:43 PM']You took the bait. [/quote] I'd hate to disappoint.

[quote name='Davemarks' post='560282' date='Aug 4 2009, 03:28 PM']He's a great musician. If you don't like his opinion, disregard it. But stop ragging on him.[/quote] I only "rag" on him because he presents himself as a bit of a twat. I'm in no position to comment on his ability. As a listener, I can comment on his musical ouput - although this will always be "just" my opinion, which isn't worth much. I don't doubt he's an incredible musician. I also like the fact he's slightly outspoken. Good stuff. I'm sure he's a good laugh in the pub. He has (like many others) flounced about on here a bit, hence I say he presents himself as a bit of a twat. Are we suggesting that because he's a superior musician we can't comment on his general behaviour? You pros talk about resilence and drive, but f*** mine, all it takes is someone to annoy you on a web forum and you f*** off back to talkbass. Call me a weirdo, but I can't suck up to a guy just because he's an incredible musician. I'm great at making cups of tea, but that doesn't cut me any slack on the Twinnings forum.

[quote name='gwizmon' post='532519' date='Jul 4 2009, 05:04 PM']It really doesn't matter anyway. talking about gear just detracts from the music which I think is a far more fruitful point of discussion.[/quote] Why did you start talking about your beloved Fodera then? We were talking about a magazine. [quote name='gwizmon' post='532519' date='Jul 4 2009, 05:04 PM']How about a thread which discusses melodic development in modern music, and what possibilities lie ahead for our industry and for us as players? or would that actually be too realistic of a topic? and would there not be enough opportunity to bitch about the cost of instruments or pieces of gear for page after page......?[/quote] Why not start one then instead of whining on this thread? I like you Janek and I think Crockett's Theme is a quality tune, but your inconsisent posts don't do you any favours.

We've used a really horny Swedish bird in London for live photos. Never paid much attention to the quality of the pics, but the chic taking them is smoking! I'll try dig out her details if your interested. She's blonde, slim, probably early 20's. Lovely.

[quote name='jakesbass' post='530951' date='Jul 2 2009, 07:11 PM']Sing the bassline.[/quote] Trouble is, I can't sing for sh*t! I'm totally tone deaf. If I tried to play the line I was singing, I'd be so far off it would be unreal! All my learning is totally mechanical.
