awesome!

nice to hear of other girls taking up, or wanting to take up bass, for one.

i think that bass is an infinitely 'cooler' instrument to play, and she will hopefully get a few friends who play too and torment you with band practise in her bedroom!

i think that anything to get anyone into any kind of musical instrument is totally worth every penny spent.

hurrah! happy birthday basschat!

congrats everyone.

depends what you want from it really. i don't think regional meetings are ever likely to be on the grand scale that 'The' bassbash is, and at the end of the day, theres always the option of sitting out in the sun in a beer garden and having a chat?

urgh, i wish i could have made it.

spent all day fixing peoples sunglasses that had been dragged out of bottom drawers/glove compartments/handbags/safe places with parts missing and most of them unbelievably mangled, instead of being outside wearing my own. bah.

piccies?

me too! its funky music that makes my insides smile.

sheesh. thats terrible!
can't believe you are actually getting turned down because you are a girl. i like to think that my having skinny girlish fingers makes them nimble!

definitely keep looking, sounds like you weren't 100% happy, so don't go back.

i'm looking for a new tutor too, as it happens. (previous one was lovely, but lessons were moving way too slowly for me, and the guy was pretty down on a lot of the stuff i love). it should be you turning the tutors down not the other way around imo. [i]you[/i] are paying [i]them[/i].

good luck finding a new one...

awesome band, a personal favourite of mine.

re: name ideas. the two words that flashed into my head were 'pond' and 'unbearded'. but to be honest, words like that often pop up randomly in my mind. i don't usually pay much attention to it.

+1

i haven't voted though, as i don't think either 'yes' or 'no' really say it. its nice if people do introduce themselves, but not essential.

googlin' around, basically. can't actually remember what i was looking for at the time. answers, probably, but not sure what the questions were.

[quote name='skywalker' post='170300' date='Apr 5 2008, 03:50 PM']Yep [/quote]

its ok to mix an iron and a kettle up when you want to make a cup of tea, but it doesn't work the other way round.

x

absolutely.

if it was me, i'd go in there assuming they would give me a replacement.
i'd ask them something like if they would prefer to replace the amp on the spot for a new one or if they would rather give me a loan amp while that one is fixed.

get 'em with the ol' double bind. don't even let you [i]not [/i] getting a replacement be an option, but yeah, stay happy and relaxed!
good luck, i'm sure they will come good on it.

[quote name='Mrs Tinman' post='170010' date='Apr 4 2008, 08:57 PM']Mewsie - do you partake in extreme ironing by any chance? [/quote]

it would be extreme to actually catch me doing ironing!

cheddatom - WOW. thats extreme knitting. i do like things done to extreme, or on a large scale, so that gets a thumbs up from me.

mrs tinman - thats a shame
