Burns-bass

I saw them at Ozzfest with Dimebag and it was proper brilliant. I was too scared and too slight to enter the mosh pit but was an excellent day.

It’s not a huge problem. I am lazy and I don’t like change. The pink bass I have does everything I need and has done for 5 years. I think I’ve used it for 40 gigs a year for 5 years all with the same strings.

I love the sound of my flat wounds and I have done 50 or more gigs with mine. What I do find is that the longer you had them, the more frequently you need to tune them. Ultimately, I love my bass and the strings, so will change when they break or drop out of tune during a song!

I love this bass and even more I love the thought behind it.

It was recommended to me by a guitarist. Once read I’ll add it to the recycling pile here.

I have had multiple people recommend this book to me, and so I have ordered it.

I’ve never heard it called that, but I do the same on my phone. I listen to everything, even banal stuff, so it gets done.

I’ve probably got some bass books I’d send you if you want them (free, if you want). Just send me a DM.

Don’t put your mind or body under and pressure! I agree with Bilbo’s advice above. I am currently learning how to play classical double bass (where you have to read music and play with a bow). It’s a completely different instrument and approach, but it’s transformed my electric bass playing, and improved my jazz sight reading. Whatever you do, ensure it’s fun. Sounds like you need a bit of that…

I described a pre cbs jazz bass here as mint and it wasn’t. That was fair enough. The fact we acknowledge the changes is better than ignoring them (which I’ve experienced before!)

I’m sure I’m as guilty as anyone of doing it. Bet if you go through my old listings I’ve done it! At least BB acknowledge it and provide a clear listing with good photos. Can’t imagine paying all that for a bass but if it makes someone happy, why not.

Looks nice. Another: all original (except for the changed hits) listing, but cool anyway.

Was great wasn’t it…

I was going to say this. I have never liked the Who and (from what I have read) Daltry sounds like a tool. But I got a free ticket to see them in Cardiff in 2006 (with Pino, I think as Entwistle had died) and they were really, really good.

I have no need for it but I wish it well on its onward journey!

It’s a 4 year old video, so it seems the “innovation” hasn’t caught on. Shes a great player though and if you like that sort of music (which I sometimes do) she plays with some great people.

If all you ever see are the negative examples of business behaviour, then no wonder you’re so jaded with it all. Thats fine. We need regulators to keep things in check. But not all businesses - and business people - are bad. Neither are we criminals, tax dodgers or rule breakers. If we’re doing stereotypes, there are enough of those about tax people, but we won’t go there. Workers do generate wealth, that’s completely true - but this situation only occurs because someone has create a vehicle, with the inherent risks associated with it, to enable them to do so. We don’t need to invoke the spirit of Marx to explain why they shouldn’t capture *all* this wealth, but the rewards should reflect the risks (as they do in all walks of life). Oh, and I’m writing this while taking a break from building a new business website. Can’t imagine any of my contractors are doing the same…
