[quote name='Leen2112' timestamp='1361302156' post='1984258'] So the thread hijackers strike again [/quote] Indeed. There should be a warning sign when you join up. "Warning, Milty and company may divert your thread from it's purpose, original point, or reason".

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1361300472' post='1984222'] Yup, a superior musician as well as superior human being, reportedly on people skills sabbatical these days. But this is nothing. Did you see Roland Rock's programming language sig? It's awesome: =IF(YOURBASSSKILL>=INTIBASSSKILL,"THANKSARTIST","F**KOFFCLOWNWHORE") b, b [/quote] Yes, i saw that and laughed my ass off. (yes, literally. I have surgery on monday). God, where do they get them from? When i think about it now, i just laugh. And laugh. and laugh. To think, he included his youtube channel in his signature *cough cough* (hint hint) then started taking down the videos when people were actually going to watch them. That's how superior he was. The inferior minds weren't allowed to even watch his videos! OH WISE ONE, WHY HATH YOU FORSAKEN US!?

[quote name='LLCoolA' timestamp='1361289700' post='1983992'] I can't get enough of spending ridiculous amounts of money on cables. [/quote] Then the Planet Waves website be the place to be for ye! I love Planet Waves. Nearly sold off all my stuff the other day to fund buying EVERYTHING they have on the website. I even started a thread about AAS, which is Accessories Acquisition Syndrome, which is something i suffer from far more than GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). Anyway, enjoy the site. PS- Bert, i love your member title. Where did you think of such a witty thing to put there? Must have come from some superior mind, eh?

[quote name='AussieBassman' timestamp='1361285483' post='1983899'] how can that ever happen? you can only raise the pitch of a note by stretching a string. [/quote] Obviously missing the difference between flattening some within a concept, and flattening something in reality. IT. WAS. A. JOKE! Can't believe how many times i have had to say that the last few days.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1361275931' post='1983654'] Sweet! [/quote] No, it was Mark Knopfler, not Sweet.

You lucky old sod you I love Mark Knopfler, and dire straits. Glad it went well!

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1361230516' post='1983348'] My ears tell me that the main riff is in Em7 and the ascending part you've asked about is in Bm7 [/quote] I WAS RIGHT! Who would've guessed?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1361222777' post='1983174'] How is that in any way relevant to anything? Also, you can't own land here, the Queen owns it, you can just hold it. [/quote] f*** knows. I'm off to bed. Goodnight

But Officer, how can you [i]own [/i]a tree. It's not like you can [i]own[/i] a plot of earth. You can't [i]o[/i][i]wn[/i] steel, man. Despite my pleas, i still got arrested for stealing a guitar. (disclaimer- This never happened.)

Great stuff! you should check out how chris commerford got his overdrive sound when in RATM. Although i couldn't blame anybody for not choosing to go down that route (unless you have money for 3 ampeg valve heads and cabs and a complex pedal board which switches and blends between the heads, set at different levels to give different amounts of drive). I just came back from a lesson where i was plugged in to the drive channel on my teachers preamp. I cranked the bass on my on-board preamp, and the thing just fuzzed up. It was cool.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1361220585' post='1983120'] Do people make cars and booze for people to drink it whilst driving them? Did listening to music make anyone die? Is drinking and driving actually an illegal thing? [/quote] I suppose if you phrase something the right way, you can justify anything.

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1361213540' post='1982946'] Really? I think you find most people have a very strong sense of morals. Not everyone's morals are the same but "whether you can get away with something" is not a major factor in most people's decision making process. [/quote] Mmmm, it seems to be. Loads of people speed and drink drive because they think they won't get caught. You're right, people do have a strong sense of morals.

[quote name='heminder' timestamp='1361208961' post='1982830'] You're completely missing the point here. [/quote] [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1361208800' post='1982828'] Because i'm incredibly tired. [/quote]

It looks like you are striding somewhere in every photo ROCK. ON!

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1361208685' post='1982825'] As long as you remember to focus I don't know why you are getting so upset about something that is beyond all our control and doesn't affect you or anyone you know. Things are as they are, the world has changed and it will keep changing, so why not relax, accept the reality and make the most of it? Just a well meant suggestion - I don't want to argue and I'm afraid to upset you, especially now I know you're armed [/quote] Lol, because i'm incredibly tired. I would go to sleep, but i have a bass lesson in an hour.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1361207664' post='1982798'] Well why not then? Whats the point of having a gun if you aren't going to use it? [/quote] It's not my gun. Why wouldn't i go on a mad gun rampage? Well, i'm reasonably stable mentally. I'm fairly unstable physically. I don't hate anybody enough to kill them, and it is illegal. Like i have said before, if people think they will get away with something, they will do it. It doesn't make it right, even if it is legal.

Just remember to really dig into the seventh fret to flatten it

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1361206967' post='1982780'] It has the tag there for info, if someone is so desperate keen for there to be a price tag, then it can have one, but it doesn't, much like, as you point out, a cold doesn't have a price tag. It it is replicatable, like the cold virus, chances are I don't want it, like the cold virus, it can be passed between people without the person passing it on ceasing to have it, like the cold virus and like the cold virus, it has no price tag. Now explain which bit is similar to randomly firing a gun that you have. [/quote] Sorry, i don't take orders. Yeah, smallpox was passed from person to person, in much the same way that a cold is. In fact, loads of things are, especially viruses. HIV for one. Aren't all these things horrible, horrible diseases? Why yes, yes they are. (apart from a cold. At worst, it's annoying). Why would you draw a parallel with such horrible things?

Seems to be in the key of B Major with a flattened 7th. Maybe not, i'm not too great with theory either. But that's assuming your tabs are correct

[quote name='Elvis Valentine' timestamp='1361205007' post='1982723'] I think the definition is a good one but i think its probably easier to make an example of two singers singing the same song. For example Bonnie Prince Billy - i see a darkness compared with Johnny Cash's version. Frank Sinatra thought that Willie Nelson was the greatest with his phrasing. [/quote] This is a great analogy! Thanks. I instantly thought of this when i read that - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgRYzZlqAHM

Ok, it's getting vague again...

[quote name='Samashton12' timestamp='1361202288' post='1982659'] I'm really not! aha, it just sounds like that to me [/quote] I'm absolutely terrible at working out notes anyway, especially when they are all bunched together like that. The best i could do is find the key, and kind of make it up as i go along.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1361199214' post='1982594'] Exactly. That was my point in reference to the post i quoted when i posted that. [/quote] Yes, that was an over-simplification.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1361198500' post='1982582'] I just checked the ID tags on mp3s and there isn't a price field there either. [/quote] Why would there be a price tag on a file format? that would be stupid. The price tag is on the sites that you download music from, like iTunes. But sure, why bother paying? we've already established that there is next to no chance that you would ever get any form of charges brought against you for it, so you might as well, eh? i mean, because you can, you should, yeah? There's a gun in this house. Maybe i should grab it and start firing shells off everywhere? y'know, it's within my means, so why not?

Well f*** dude, from the looks of those tabs, you're already a better bassist than me (which wouldn't be that difficult, i have to admit) so no, no help from me. Sorry
