[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362930754' post='2006332'] For my own part, I thought he was a humourless assclown and I shall henceforth cease contributing to this thread which only provides oxygen to the rancid flames of Inti's burning egomania. I shall depart forthwith and watch Star Trek: Next Generation on Syfy. Later, boners! [/quote] This is a fair point. He did seem to think that some people had a genuine infatuation with him. In reality, people were using him as a joke (and still are.).

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1362927726' post='2006273'] I did too, but some folks on here can overreact. Sometimes I think we could have much more interesting conversations on here if we could keep cool and not resort to personal attacks for the lack of anything intelligent to say. [/quote] What i saw, and experienced, was that he was usually the first to launch a personal attack. He called me an idiot for not sharing his views when essentially what i said to him was "It's alright yo have your views, just don't be so obnoxious about it". In the end, i decided that he genuinely did need mental help, and informed him thusly.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1362929570' post='2006307'] Don't mistake this guy for a martyr - he's a self-obsessed intellectual pygmy with nothing to offer the seeker of truth. He is a Judas. He is a liar. He's watching this debate now and he's got one hand inside his trousers. [color=#ffffff].[/color] [/quote] HAHA! Oh, i do love it when you rant

The thread no longer exists, but my first guess would be... Inti? Why am i not Derren Brown's understudy?

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1362580069' post='2001601'] Anything happened with this yet? [/quote] Sorry, just seeing this now! No, not yet. I'm afraid it's on the backburner for the minute, but it will happen, i can guarantee that! Just focusing on another project at the minute. But let's see what happens in the next few months.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1362740761' post='2004010'] I love Jazz basses, but... yes. [/quote] Me too, but they are so common, there's no point in getting a custom made one.

[quote name='yamahabass' timestamp='1362694108' post='2003626'] a Jazz bass copy with alder body and maple or rosewood neck, 20/21 frets....... PERFECT! [/quote] Why bother? there's millions of the things. Might as well just buy one of those.

[quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1362693574' post='2003607'] + lots on that, strings are important too. [/quote] Yes, but they are very easy to change if you don't like them. A lot of people wouldn't be happy changing a pickup, bridge or nut. (i would try installing a new nut if i had the tools). If it's an acoustic instrument, the woods matter very much, because they ARE the amplification, but you can have a brilliant sounding bass made from plywood if you want, like McNach has already said.

Have you seen this, José? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG88o8DPZhw

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1362690744' post='2003531'] Mind you, it does raise a smile when it is some mid life crisis playing something they think is very hip and failing catastrophically - I had a guy in my street with a Jeep and he would pull up with stuff like Supertramp or Toto blasting away - not very street! [/quote] Or Westlife

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362690471' post='2003521'] That's the one that gets me! And it's [i]never [/i]Mozart, is it? What really gets on my tits is the perpetrator's assumption that he (it's always a 'he') obviously has much better taste in music than you do - therefore it's [i]not [/i]noise pollution - he's actually doing you a favour! [/quote] I once drove around Dublin in my mums Ford Galaxy after a RHCP gig, blaring RHCP songs with the windows down while yelling "THE CHILI'S!" at all the people standing outside pubs listening to RHCP on the jukebox. That was a brilliant night.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1362648949' post='2002571'] I read that as a mini rant about people who are only into 'crappy pop music' and the cult of celebrity, rather than quality music, and the subsequent difficulties of getting 'real' music into the industry. Of course I've been known to be wrong :-) [/quote] Yes, so did I, and that's why it annoyed me so much to write a reply.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1362623078' post='2002417'] Realising the amount of people who don't like music but pretend they do anyway, and ruin everything for everyone who does. [/quote] Eh? How do you know exactly what "people" think about music, and to what degree they like it to? And even then, how does what other people think about music ruin it for you?

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1362646116' post='2002507'] That's the sort of thing yes. Check s few reviews to make sure the drivers are good for the platform you have (Mac or PC) Most people with MOTU kit love it right up until they try Apogee or RME ;D [/quote] If money was no object, i would go all out on the recording gear. And also pay somebody to come and teach me how to use it all But as it stands, i'll just stick to the home hobbyist equipment for now.

[quote name='Toddy' timestamp='1362616908' post='2002391'] Sorry to revive an old thread, but amazed to realise it was nearly twelve months ago the thread was started because our old sprinter was poorly, just realised since then, she has been round the UK coast anti-clockwise twice , as well as many trips to Scotland, south coast, north east, and its still earning its living., sat here trying to remember the last 12 months worth of calamities' but highlights include,, pa pushing the side window out in Yarmouth, window went flying but didn't smash!, good old gaffa tape fix to get us home, ignition switch failure, still not fixed !, soldering iron to the ready!, hit a caravan, got hit up the backside at the toll station on the Humber bridge (no damage to us,, totalled the little van with the idiot driver who was on the phone!), err ripped the back door handle off in a freak unicycle accident, new radiator, glow plugs, starter motor, broke the only ignition key, snapped wiper arm in Glasgow, but, did get round to mending the radio! looking a very tatty old van at min,, but bless her for getting us this far,, and loads to do yet. Sprinters are cool [/quote] My dad has an ancient sprinter, which he revived from the grave after a long long time off the road. Filled with rust, busted windows (an ex-bus). The brakes just stop it and no more (i realised this when driving it around the pit-lanes with a racing car in the back). Everyday, i hear it cough and chug it's way back into life (it can take a few minutes) but it always does start, it always goes, it always does what it is supposed to, but it gets on like an arthritic old bastard with pneumonia and tuberculosis. Stick with a transit. Rough as all get out, will rust before your eyes, but you can guarantee the engine will still be running long after the body is beyond repair

Other musicians. Other people. People in general. The universe.

This would do what i want alright, wouldn't it? Would love to get that Apogee Duet, but got to balance the quality with the cost unfortunately http://www.thomann.de/gb/motu_4_pre.htm

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1362596888' post='2001961'] I've reduced it considerably by placing weight on the roof of the cab when using it. It's defo the cab. [/quote] Eh? sounds like the walls of the cab might be moving about a bit then. Look inside and see if all the joints and screws are tight.

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1362498997' post='2000214'] Listen to how Frank Sinatra sings well known songs, and how they differ from the original... that's 'phrasing', that is. [/quote] Cheers!

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1362550090' post='2001092'] This, it's not what you know it's.................... [/quote] The way that you know it?

And we can't forget the soliloquy either. There's always a soliloquy.

And the french just smoke cigarettes over slow jazz in black and white, with a glass of wine.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362511363' post='2000573'] Er... I can't think of any other reasons, unless it's to bring peace to the middle east, or something... [/quote] Well, songs that i would write for the sake of myself are just out of the love of doing it. Yup, it's fun, no, it makes me absolutely no money. These things are fine by me. If i was to become part of the pop world, it would be for money, because i don't have a great deal of passion for the music.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362511153' post='2000565'] Not bad, but there are [i]far [/i]too many syllables in this for a pop song! [/quote] I can just hear all the drunk people in a club slurring all the long words together over the top of the song.

[quote name='the_skezz' timestamp='1362511020' post='2000561'] I read this out in the style of Flight of the Conchords 'Business Time' myself. [/quote] Me too!
