Bugger, I just bought a J bass - trust me to get the wrong one!

^^^ Haha! I'm the only one in our house, so I must be top too! *thinks, must go and buy P Bass 🤔 🎸 *

Wait... you can tune a bass? I don't hold with all this new-fangled messing about & chicanery! I told the rest of the band that my tuning can't be changed, so they have to re-tune to me. Problemo solvedo 🎸 🎻 🎶 🍻

Hiya Strawbz

Loud & clear! @Newfoundfreedom

Okay 👌

I have now! That's a gorgeous bass, but it doesn't look like a Ricky. Am not a beech either! 🌳

Beautiful bass!

Ok @EBS_freak RickenTractor (no ™) by EBS. Happy now? By the way, does anyone else think that RickenTractors look like they could be used to open massive bottles? (sorry @Ricky 4000 )

This thread raises some interesting points, and I think that we could all learn from it. However, what we should not do is have an extreme reaction & go crazy. @Maude BANJO!?¿ Are you ill? Are you mad, man? This is exactly the kind of dangerous behaviour I was talking about. Good God man! You'll be buying a RickenTractor™ next!

Good luck with your practice I'm always boring, so I'll not distract you. 🔥🎊🎉🎇🎆🚬🍷 🍻 sssshhhh!

Bilbo, I know nothing at all about cardiology, so I won't be offering you any heart advice. I hope that you make a full & speedy recovery - take it easy & look after yourself. All the best

^^^ Like a lot

Please don't stop using BC Bassislife - there are many, many good people on here who are always willing to share their knowledge, there time, and offer their support. The cr*p is pretty rare & can be avoided.

*I would have 'liked' all the above posts, but yet again, I'm too reactionary & have had my little picture-thingies revoked

This forum is a very warm and friendly place, with occasional spates of passion & strong opinion. People have different opinions & some are more ready to push them than others. I'm very grateful for the friends & acquaintances I've made in the short time I've been on here, but I hate the idea that Basschatistas would be put off by the posts of others. People can be stroppy, but its worth bearing in mind that things & problems happen in real life outside BC that can cause this - no excuse though. The Admins & Mods do a fab job & I'm very grateful. Play nice BC peeps, & if anyone wants a fight, I'll be in the car park after lasties

'Guitar music' - I'd agree with you. But just as the electric guitar & bass were new-fangled instruments way back, computers, sequencers & samples & the like have been utilised to make music more recently, alongside 'traditional' band instruments. Its not better music, its different. There is some garbage about in 'new music', but there was always dodgy music about. (I refer you respectfully to The Bay City Rollers et al *runs for cover wearing tin hat*).

NBD I have failed already Four bloody days! Do early birthday presents count?

First, you start with a tree of your chosen type... ... then the Bass Pixies do magic. That's it. Technical, I know!

Or, ring him up and ask him the cubed-root of 2. 893 and if he doesn't know, pick up your stuff and refuse to give him any payment! Glad bass is ready

Are you going to get a melodica instead?

Anyone else remember these? Far cooler!

You notice this ^^^, and not the fact that none of them have fingers!
