[quote name='dood' timestamp='1505825026' post='3374565'] The break angle over the saddles or nut can make a difference it seems. A higher action, meaning the saddles are much higher means that the string going over the saddle down to where the ball end is mounted, will have a greater force being applied to the top of the saddle. Or to put it another way, the string will be more tightly anchored to the saddle. The same *can* happen for the nut. I have a bass with a string retainer on it. I took the retainer off as I decided to spray it a different colour. With the bass tuned up to standard pitch, there was a noticeable (not massive though) difference to the tone of the open strings. The string being pulled down tightly against the nut made a difference to the tone. Which is annoying as I really don't like string retainers over all strings! Guess I need to find a slotted 'quick release' version! [/quote] Furthermore, I remember watching a science program about Piano design and the 'inventors' of a system managed to make a like for like piano sound more resonant and detailed in tone. I think they used a similar method of bilateral string mounting. I'd have to look that up though!!

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1505817626' post='3374477'] This thread is depressing with some of the attitudes on display and justifications being made. [/quote] Indeed. Female bassists are just queuing up to join BassChat... not.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1493747742' post='3290420'] Looks like a great little bass. Would be brilliant to have at work... Sorry about the crappy quality BC 'title card' by the way... maybe we need a competition to do a new one??? Cheers ped [/quote] I think a competition might be a good idea!

[quote name='njr911' timestamp='1505741608' post='3373910'] Any more news on this - looks great from the video [/quote] Ask away, I'll be happy to respond!

Anyway, KK Jale, we've hopefully a recording of the track coming through - hopefully it will be the lyrics we are expecting. Your help was very much appreciated and I'll let you know if you have saved the day

Having worked as a musician very closely with sufferers of Dementia, this hits hard. I had an emotional time getting to know some truly beautiful people but seeing how Dementia affects them. I've met TM a few times and on one memorable occasion, I wanted to tell him that I loved his playing and enthusiasm, but he beat me to it, complimenting my own playing instead.

[quote name='Yank' timestamp='1505553987' post='3372731'] This might not be politically correct, but if the female is wearing revealing, provocative outfits, isn't this the response they hope for? I doubt that can-can dancers in years past were expecting mere polite applause. [/quote] [quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1505561286' post='3372829'] I work in shows with dancers all the time. They hate this kind of crap but tend to just take it as an occupational hazard. As for "loving it", no, not ever. They have to earn a living just like we do and almost never have any say as to what they have to wear. [/quote]

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1505572474' post='3372943'] My names is actually gjones. I didn't feel the need to hide my identity on a site called Basschat. Now if it had been a site called Asschat, well that's a whole different kettle of fish. [/quote] Kettle Of Fish, that well known website for tea making singletons.

Neanderthals walk amongst us even in 2017.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1505475143' post='3372182'] So it IS a pseudonym ... your real name is FinnSave. [/quote] Isn't that the Nordic equivalent of Aldi and Lidl?

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1505413300' post='3371794'] And we respect that, Dan. [/quote] and so do the 160K readers per month of Guitar Interactive, so I'm feeling pretty safe.

Another person has come up with the same song as a possibility too. Hopefully we can find some lyrics or even listen to the song to see if it's 'the one'.

[quote name='KK Jale' timestamp='1505414773' post='3371817'] A possible contender: Ronnie Hilton, Love You I Will, UK 1964 Can't find it on spotify nor youtube, alas. [url="http://www.45-rpm.org.uk/dirr/ronnieh.htm"]http://www.45-rpm.or...irr/ronnieh.htm[/url] [/quote] Thank you! I'll take a look Your efforts are appreciated!

I've been asked if I can find out some more about this song; it's quite important to the person asking. I would like to call upon the collective and impressive knowledge of Basschat to see if we can figure out what it might be. The Lyrics we have are: [color=#1D2129]"The king is richer than I am .. but I don't envy the king .. although the king is richer by far I have you and that's everything [/color] [color=#1D2129]( chorus) love you I will until the years have fallen away .. love you I will until forever and a day ....[/color] [color=#1D2129]The birds sing sweeter than I do .. but I don't envy the birds .. although the birds sing sweeter by far .. nobody taught them the words ( chorus) ...[/color] [color=#1D2129]"[/color] [color=#1D2129]Thank you Basschat x[/color]

I wish to remain anonymous.
