I wouldn't let it spoil my night

when your name is John Smith, it becomes difficult

If I could chose just an over rated album, then Paul Simon - Graceland . Pretentious rubbish

[quote name='Bolo' timestamp='1505323306' post='3371072'] Jamerson & Pino. Not bad, but heavily overrated around here. [/quote] Jamerson was another musician at the right place at the right time. He shaped a lot of Motown songs with his bass lines. Maybe not the best ever, but he must be one of the most influential. Some of the bass lines sound like they should never go with the song if you listen to them in isolation, but they fit like a glove when put into the mix.

You're Gorgeous - Babybird. Not the best wedding song

I also like the Levellers. Levelling The Land is one of my favourite albums. Fantastic live in the early 90's.

A bit of IMHO type of question. If pushed then it is virtually any famous boyband from New Kids On The Block to Westlife and everything in between and associated with before and after

I had a go on a left handed Lull. I went for the Clover instead. If I had the extra 1k, I would have walked out with The Lull. It really was nice

[quote name='Quevlar' timestamp='1505093787' post='3369432'] Apologies for the silly question, have only just signed up to the forum, never played a bass and don't currently own one (hoping to get one soon). Is this something that's open for a clueless beginner to just come along and have a bit of a nose please ? Only about an hour or so drive and would be nice to have a nose at some bass playing up close and personal and see some different bass' in the flesh so to speak. If it is open to anyone with an interest in bass do you pay at the door or need to buy a ticket in advance ? Cheers [/quote] You will enjoy it. The ticket price is about the best value you will get in my opinion. The masterclasses were outstanding last year, and looking at the roster this year, I expect the same. I look forward to this event every year.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1504874392' post='3367948'] I've uploaded a PDF file with the bash timetable here: [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/d0pqwakzmmlffre/South%20East%20Bass%20Bash%202017.pdf?dl=0"]https://www.dropbox.com/s/d0pqwakzmmlffre/South%20East%20Bass%20Bash%202017.pdf?dl=0 [/url] Can someone please try and access it, and tell me if you are allowed to download the file? It should work, but always best to check. Ta [/quote] The link works perfectly on my PC, and able to download the content

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1504784220' post='3367265'] As I'm heading to a gig after the bash, and it's a band I play guitar, I will not have room to bring any Shukery goodness. [/quote] That is unfortunate. I was blown away by their basses at the LBGS. I would have been happy to gawp at it

I have just seen a message to say that the Steely Dan bassist has passed away. I can`t find anything to corroborate this.

It would be interesting to hear someone sing like Russel Thompkins from Stylistics to Isaac Hayes in original keys

I still buy CD's. My car still has a cd but no bluetooth. When i get a newer car then i probably wont buy many. I also buy them as i have a cd jukebox. I did buy a record player just so I could get the Superfly album, but i doubt i will buy many.

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1498671735' post='3326271'] Saw the Foo Fighters, Royal Blood and Iggy Pop on the same bill at the MK Bowl a couple of years ago. (in the Dave Grohl broken leg period). Foo fighters: boring. Royal Blood: get a band. Iggy Pop: stole the show for me. [/quote] it has to be hard playing after Iggy Pop

You need to be wary of most people with really nice gear. I always wondered years a go how people in my factory drove new BMW's until i heard of PCP. Obviously not all, but there will be a few with nice gear with maxxed credit cards.

I thought he was good. I like Oasis though

I am loving every minute. What a top entertaining band. So much better than last years Saturday headliner

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1498062502' post='3322313'] What, the kind that get a laurel laughs? [/quote] Hardy har

I think the problem is having too many made and not enough people. There are so many manufacturers, and with cnc machines etc, everything is quicker and quality better resulting in longer lasting guitars. It is easier than ever to learn to play an instrument now

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1498224944' post='3323275'] All the ads on that site have the same formula; they apparently don't allow plain direct links. It's simple enough to get around, however, so shouldn't be too much to the detriment to the posters, as long as the readers are aware of how to see further. Good old Google, eh..? [/quote] Something helpful to come out of this topic. Good to know that links may not work

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1498153070' post='3322853'] Wow, you mean this isnt the first of this type of thread? What a pathetic thing to do. It used to be a friendly, helpful place here until a few years ago, and now we have threads like this where everyone wants to bitch and slag other people for no reason other than sport., Its pretty obvious Americans think and talk in a different way to those in the UK (otherwise we would nt have this thread ;-) and picking out every other word and analysing it gets us where? No wonder the old crew dont post on here anymore. [/quote] This post could be the reason the old crew, whoever they are, don`t post anymore. I am finding it interesting to see how people interpret the advert. Could be useful for people who want to post an advert in the future. I guess that is why I keep coming back, as there is always something that keeps me interested. I second Aphook that you could just use the same topic for future adverts instead of a series of new topics

I got my shift off, so I will be there.
