That's...........incredible.

[quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1363985281' post='2020695'] Bass players are (usually) weird, individualistic, quiet, relatively ego-free, musical people... what's not to like? (or so I tell my better half all the time - he's not buying it though) [/quote]That's probably why he's with you. We're quite a catch.

Basschat is a special place because of threads like this. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/190388-caden-beggan-6-years-old/page__hl__kevin_lindsay"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/190388-caden-beggan-6-years-old/page__hl__kevin_lindsay[/url]

Right, that's enough back slapping, let's get back to hating/worshipping Fenders.

I have a 1981 Stingray and a Status S2 Classic. The Stingray is much more "there" big sound, right up until the 12th fret. The Status has all the notes sounding great all over the fingerboard but the Stingray has that 3D quality that hovers around the room.

It has the most articulate, courteous people you could ever wish to meet. And a lot of shining wit, too.

The last line is the killer. Shared.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1362663684' post='2002951'] The only person who will give a sh*t is you. Be prepared for the empty feeling inside screaming FAKE! every time you look at it. If you like the bass, be proud of its maker. [/quote]Massive like.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1363824734' post='2018373'] I wasn't talking about the audience. But there are musicians, engineers, band leaders, who will all make assumptions based on what they see. I'm not saying showing up with a Squier is a deal breaker, but some people may put a strike against you. So if someone wants to change the decal for that reason, I say it's no big deal as long as he doesn't try to sell it as such. You may feel those people are insignificant but if you're looking to establish yourself as a professional musician, every bit of an edge counts. That's the way the world works. But if you're just doing it as a hobby, then yeah, it makes no difference, in which case he can put whatever decal he wants on his bass. It's his bass. [/quote]Is it music or Formula 1 we are taking about, a bit confused here.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1363824246' post='2018369'] Then talk me through your thinking on this one. Here's mine. For starters, 99% of an audience don't give a rat's ass about what bass you're using full stop, and in fact depending on the audience they probably aren't even aware of your musical function in a live situation. Those that do care/might care about what bass you're using and might turn their noses up at the fact you're using a cheap/inferior/smalltime brand instrument (delete as applicable) are so low down on the scale by this stage that not only is their presumption totally ignorant, it actually pales into almost total insignificance. [/quote]Walk away my friend..

A sermon.

Oh, and she can play the f*** out of a bass guitar.

She looks like a little posh boy with long hair, you're all weird. Not my kind of woman.

What does "Psycho Acoustic" mean?

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1363048899' post='2007706'] I actually can't think of any,now I have a L/H Thunderbird. [/quote]What? A real Gibson one?

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1363702197' post='2016097'] Email Ashdown and got the following straight from the horse's mouth (email from Mark Gooday) yes he is just our web is new :-) and we have not loaded our artists all up again. So no worries there then. [/quote]All is well with the world. JJ is the reason I started playing bass.
