I'd just like to make it very clear - I don't work for, or represent, or even own, a Rickenbacker.

Great shame Saw them at V'97 and although I hadn't been a fan previously, they were amazing. Very sad.

... either way, whichever gender the accused now identifies with, sound guy 'X' is still a git. I can't be more gender neutral than that! 🚻

Ah, but what if it's the other way around? Your patriarchal biases have been exposed!

I can't even work out how he could have been offended. Probably just didn't fancy working tonight. Git. Sorry this happened to you & the other bands - a rubbish way to be treated

But what if I like a bit of tawdry? Eh?

Good luck & all the best for the future Come & visit us! Hugh

Is it any good for metal? 🤘

Liked that!

Awww! Its not tin foil, it's my new skin. I am a robot, I have interfaced with my spectrum. Behold! 🤖

Thanks Ricky - a small part towards redeeming yourself!

Aaah, my dear misguided friend! *shakes head, smiling in a patronising manner* We were discussing the ubiquitousness of the precision bass - my analogy, or analogy if you will, was drawing an interesting comparison between the world of motor-vehicles & bass guitars - subjects that are very dear to many BCers hearts. I had hoped to spark an interesting bass/car discussion that could have led to enlightening & light-hearted interaction. Instead, I was met with your washing line silliness. Ricky, I feel that you've let yourself down, you've let Rickenbacker owners down, you've let BassChat down, and most of all, you've let me down.

Salut Sté ...again

Hi Steve

Hi Tony

It's like the VW Golf of the bass world - rugged, reliable, moderately pretty, often copied & available in loads of different versions. The jazz is more like a Jaguar XJS - more sporty, not as ubiquitous & prettier. Yamaha basses are the Mazda MX5 of the bass family - absolutely fabulous, good value for money & on the receiving end of snobbery because they're not European / American. Dingwall / Fodera & others are like supercars - expensive, odd-looking, wholly impractical & temperamental. Rickenbackers are like...? Anyone?

Yes I do, but be aware, I'm just the next fashion waiting to happen

How VERY dare you! I'll have you know NONE of my basses have more than the first 12 frets.

Thankyou kindly, Mr Fleabag
