I used to think I wanted to play guitar …. I got better though and now I’ve recovered from that sickness “thou shalt have no other instrument than bass” (commandment #11, turn the slab over, Moses, God wrote it on the back), is my mantra

Speaking as a past dweller of a god-forsaken brambled bolt hole - I mean rural idyll I’d say you’d probably be very brave to move to another country and expose yourself to our bizarre humour

That’s a nice to have, I’ll take dots also im not picky

I want you to keep an eye out for something for me since you have all The luck today so, four a side machine heads, blocked fingerboard, old tortoiseshell and painted three colours probably black red and yellow. Might say “fender” on headstock please make sure it’s got “1962” stamped on the neck. I’ll give you E100 for your trouble and take the worthless thing off your hands, might make good firewood .. probably

No one near me except @Oldmanand someone else new whose name escapes me right now

Check your timing when alternating- I lead with middle as otherwise I get a shuffle effect

I wouldn’t look that disinterested if kylie was checking my trombone

Is th is that available as a five string ?

Yes it is a tiny place. They all know the president and see him everyday. sarcasm aside, I recall talking to an American lady who had heard England was small and was totally convinced that we all personally knew the queen

I’m sure if we explain it, typing loudly, in English, whilst making bizarre hand movements, any of our foreign readers will eventually realise what we mean @nilorius satirising us btw

I think @niloriusdoes very well given that he’s doing this in his second language. It’s really hard not to accidentally offend a foreign culture

Don’t you have lines on your sticks do you can do rimshots exactly ? With precision if you will

I had one of those as my first bass also! Lovely instrument that I should have kept

I like it

You’re being very hard-on him

Ali are pretty good these days

@Joel McIvercould you please comment ?

I could do, but I’m busy in working hours and a monthly mag that I barely get time to read is fairly low on list sadly

As blackadder said “thank goodness I wore my corset because I think my sides Have split from laughing” 😛

So what is going to happen with print subscriptions? How will my remaining two issues be delivered ?

You’re not filling me with confidence, hope and enthusiasm

Slight thread derail (for which apologies) how do you know where the notes are, every single time, except maybe via some feature of the grain?
