[quote name='rodacademy' timestamp='1376862675' post='2180185'] Oh man your killing me! Not seen that before... Yawn! [/quote] I think I know what GW's fatal flaw is. The hinges are in the wrong place so seat keeps falling down when you're in mid flow innit.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1376861331' post='2180163'] xilddx it was the latter, but one of those both the distributor in uk and the manufacturer would choose never to admit. [u][b]which is why I don't effing WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT OK??[/b][/u] [/quote] OK cool, I assumed because you brought it up it must be important enough to tell people about it.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1376856767' post='2180092'] Couldn't possibly say without starting a major slandering match which I can do without. [/quote] [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1376857605' post='2180099'] Odd. If it's a flaw you can evidence, then I'm not sure how it can be slander. Beats insinuation, mind, which sets minds to thinking Drop me a PM. If you can tell me what to look for I'd be happy to check mine [/quote] Shame a flawed bass got passed on to another buyer too. Why not take it back to the shop? Or was it a design flaw?

This news has made me very sad.

[quote name='OldG' timestamp='1376636626' post='2177044'] Have you tried using monitors/speakers turned up fairly well yet? should work the same as a guitar amp... [/quote]thats what I do and it works a treat.

Had this not better be a Status Kingbass?

Yep. I love my CleartoneEMPs 100-40, they make my bass come alive.

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1376512648' post='2175387'] shame most of those on there havent bothered to read the brief that or they are designing tshirts for two year olds [/quote] Jesus, is there no imagination left in the f***ing world?

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1376512188' post='2175370'] I regularly go about in a Gibson T-shirt. Why? Up yours, that's why [/quote] Oof, that's your cover blown, old chap. How does it feel knowing that one in 11 people walk past you muttering to anyone who'll listen, 'look at that muppet, he should have got an Alleva Coppolo'?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1376512075' post='2175364'] I thought that's what 'Business Studies' were for. [/quote]

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1376511850' post='2175356'] How about a Ri*******cker dildo ? Then they could take and ... well you get the idea . [/quote] It would match that small little ball thing they have on the headstock.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1376511450' post='2175342'] God, yes. And have you noticed that people with LED markers are insufferably smug about them,[b] like they've done something clever[/b]? [/quote] Like having to look where their hands are. They are like toilet seats, so you know you got your sh*t in the right place. The French don't need all that lark, you stand up and aim properly. Most French basses don't even have dots on the board. People need to learn how to do their sh*t properly.

All music company merchandise, caps, t-shirts, polo shirts god forbid. All that horrible wearable sh*t. I mean WHO the f*** would be seen in a Warwick baseball cap? (I have one somewhere) A Hartke tee-shirt? An Alleva-Coppolo skirt?

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1376509441' post='2175280'] And when people don`t trim the ends of their strings [/quote] Yes! They should be strangled with them and given a fiver for a pair of pliers. Oooh I hate that, it's not punk, it's just damn ugly and careless.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1376509153' post='2175272'] careful, Nige, no-one's mentioned gloves yet .. [/quote] Bring it on baby

[quote name='paul h' timestamp='1376508856' post='2175262'] Hahaha. Perfectly rational dislike if you ask me [/quote]

[quote name='operative451' timestamp='1376508598' post='2175254'] People who wear guitars up high like they're pretending they're in the beatles. Also, the beatles. [/quote]

Oh god, 5 string Ps or Js, they look f***ing vile. Guitar straps with skulls or any of that voodoo sh*t on. Traben bridges. Are you f***ing twelve?

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1376502335' post='2175086'] My dislike (call it rational...or otherwise) is designer made "road worn" basses/guitars. [/quote] Oh gosh, yes, me too.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1376502236' post='2175082'] Weirdo [/quote]

I can't stand pale rosewood fingerboards, they look cheap to me, even on hugely expensive instruments. Tort PGs on Black look disgusting to me. Red tort is really awful, especially on white basses. All single cuts - except one of the Warwick designs that didn't make it into production, they went with the ugliest f***ing design I've ever seen. Posh looking wood basses (apart from Xylem basses) they look far too musicianly.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1376484798' post='2174601'] Try also www.playbassnow.com and google Scott Levine who has lots of free stuff A little theory goes a long way Asking for help is also brave so well done [/quote] Scott Devine

Hello Jon. I would recommend getting a good tutor, it will save you so much time and effort. Learning off the web is ok, but it's haphazard. Have a look here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/26-tutors-available/"]http://basschat.co.uk/forum/26-tutors-available/[/url] Best of luck mate.
