I managed to get the latest Transglobal Underground album signed by the band for Mick, he's a fan which I'm very pleased about I thought it only fair I pay for the album and as soon as Mick received it he paypalled me the tenner. Thanks Mick, I hope you enjoy it!

Good for you mate. Pattern recognition is rarely mentioned but it's essential, and if you can elevate your PR skills to more and more complex music, you will develop a very good ear and memory and be able to learn compositions much more quickly. And it's mostly about breaking things down like you did. I think my memory is starting to fail me these days

They are the ugliest things known to man. I know GarethOx on here has one, and is immensely proud of it going by his avatar, but I'm sorry mate, it's a design-distaster, an aesthetic fail of unrivalled epicness.

I've heard nothing positive about Ed Roman. He's been described as an arsehole a number of times. It does look lovely though. Stack knobs were metal so these may be transition model knobs before they introduced the plastic ones perhaps?

"This is a lifetime keeper instrument!" Yeah that's why it's on sale

[quote name='alexclaber' post='1304565' date='Jul 15 2011, 11:33 AM']Apologies for the lip synching... This is what slap bass is for and how to do it right. Of course that's just in my humble opinion: No, actually it isn't, it's FACT! Do enjoy the bass break three minutes in.[/quote] That is SOOOOOOOOO BAAAD! In a bad way!

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='1304788' date='Jul 15 2011, 03:02 PM']That's right. Hence why china and india are the world's best footie teams...[/quote] And the best most prolific travelling donkey-drowners.

[quote name='mcnach' post='1304664' date='Jul 15 2011, 12:48 PM']It makes absolutely no sense to me As a debate is a non starter, unless we derive into superficial stereotypes... [/quote] Me neither. I've been trying to work out if the OP meant Gary Tallent.

Get a Hohner B2A, they go for £200 on the bay of E and they are light, small, and good enough to keep for life.

[quote name='cocco' post='1304358' date='Jul 15 2011, 09:04 AM']These aren't the droids you're looking for. But that is a seriously cool bass and I want one.[/quote] You're joking, right? The coolest space craft that ever existed, reduced to a pathetic little bass with a Fender neck. Sad, very very sad

[quote name='Clarky' post='1304362' date='Jul 15 2011, 09:11 AM']Nik, I presume you will be having a raffle and thus need some bass 'stuff' donations? I will have a dig around and see what I can come up with. Definitely have some vgc tab books (Bilbo!) kicking around, a Precision tort s/p and maybe some other bits and bobs[/quote] Good call. I will donate my Bass Builders books/CDs actually.

I'm still 6.25 inches.

[quote name='4 candles' post='1303995' date='Jul 14 2011, 09:13 PM']its a fact German footballers are better than English footballers! (sorry too say) its also a fact that English footballers are much better than Scottish footballers does this apply to bass playing? are German bass players better than the English? are English players better than the scottish? too take it too the next level, Anyone know a good indian bass player? I dont know of a good indian footballer, so perhaps they are worse at bass than the scotish? up for a good debait. well, I thought it was a better post than "should I buy a P or a J ?" "what colour should i paint my bass" "what strings shud I buy" etc Regards Mark[/quote] Know any good Scottish sarod players? Know any decent oud players from huddersfield? Know any exceptional cora players from Belfast? Mark? One of your candles has expired

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='1303289' date='Jul 14 2011, 10:29 AM']Kinda like a loose Mr Bungle, with badly thought out songs, no hooks and a singer who mumbles at a speed no human can possibly tell what he's saying, even when 'interacting' with the audience. There was a sea of people staring blankly. That said - They are doing well enough to open for Primus and clearly have a fan base looking online so I can't argue with success![/quote] They sound f***in horrible!

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='1303256' date='Jul 14 2011, 09:59 AM']Still enjoyed it lots, was cool to hook up with Robbie (RIM basses) and Dood, and the show was very enjoyable. [b]Let's not mention 'Hot Head Show's opening slot though... Urghhhh.[/b][/quote] Oh dear, that's our new drummer's best mate's band

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1303252' date='Jul 14 2011, 09:55 AM']+1 There's a more direct connection with the note, for me. It's also much more the sound I [i]want[/i] to hear. String on finger and wood, not string on metal.[/quote] I agree with this entirely. A fretless is an entirely different animal and I feel a deep bond with a fretless whenever I play one. Sadly, The music I play sounds better with a fretted, plus I haven't the time to practice hard enough to get the intonation accurate enough, especially above the 15th fret area, it's very f***ing difficult and I could not live with the mess I would create up there. So I sold mine.
