    [quote name='steve-soar' post='463570' date='Apr 16 2009, 12:48 AM']Popular music, ie, Pop Music has been around for a 1,000 odd years. In the early 60's, The right time, the right set of communication networks, the right economic situation was primed for the right pop group. The Beatles were the first band that were able to communicate ideas of sex, anarchy, hedonism, murder, mental ilness, black magic, loneliness and all other human emotions and failings/celebrations, into 3 mins of perfect popular music. The Beatles are without doubt, the most important pop band ever.[/quote] slightly off-tangent but a difficult point to disagree with!

    [quote name='AM1' post='463545' date='Apr 15 2009, 11:54 PM']Wrong wrong wrong! My capacity for obssessing about music is unchanged, I still have the exact same passion for actual music, I just hate the bullshit that surrounds it![/quote] But the point isn't about your capacity for obsessing AM, it's about the fact that it takes so much more to be amazed now because you've already experienced so much amazing stuff (which is why you obsessed in the first place)..

    [quote name='dangerboy' post='463537' date='Apr 15 2009, 11:45 PM']And accept that you'll never obsess over a band like you did as a teenager because you've heard so much more now and have so much more music in your life.[/quote] Spot on!! Plus of course, everything has been done...and done to death. Most everything that 'rock music' has had to offer the world was done by about 1975...

    [quote name='chris_b' post='462242' date='Apr 14 2009, 04:14 PM']My imagination is always better than I am but my playing usually takes several steps forward when I buy better gear. In my experience better gear helps to improve your confidence and playing ability.[/quote] +1 It's a constant process, trying to improve your playing, then your sound.. then your imagination goes up a level, and so the whole thing continues.. Having said that, I think there's a point where you probably can't get much better gear once you spend over a certain amount of money, but contiually working on your playing will always improve you as a musician.

    [quote name='acidbass' post='460680' date='Apr 12 2009, 06:09 PM']Wow, looks the business! How does it compare to your other Precision in terms of sound? More throaty I'd suspect?[/quote] +1 very cool finish indeed!

    That does look really nice, though a lot of lifting to achieve it I guess...

    There are some bass players who are more 'conservative' than others, and vice versa.. Same as in all other walks of life isn't it?

    [quote name='Sercet' post='459660' date='Apr 10 2009, 10:24 PM']I often see people on this forum selling basses because their wife/girlfriend impose a one in one out rule and others who would like to buy a bass but can't, again because of the wife/girlfriend. Well, my wife has stopped me selling this - she's always liked the look of it (she doesn't play), and when she found out it was made in August '89 (the month/year we got married) she put her foot down. I was going to use the funds raised to but a new EUB...which she insists I go ahead and buy. It's effectively her bass now. Apologies to those who came close to buying it (You should buy Beedster's Wal instead). Steve[/quote] Good decision, if I might say so....

    That's a very good price for a Wal, even in this climate! Good luck with it Chris

I've always liked his take on Jacques Brel songs too.

    Really enjoyed this thread - proves you're never too old to learn.. Some great players I've never heard of but I think that Paul Jackson clip with the drummer was unbelievable!
