Still wont work for me,( must be a mac thing

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1354568074' post='1887579'] I'm the person who likes Tai Shan... Half the World, on the other hand - tripe. [/quote] Yes, that is tripe ,)

That's a relief ,)

Well, as far as the 'Rush bass sound' goes, it's too hard(almost impossible) to decide which is best. Trying to break it down into the decades; 70's - Farewell to kings, 80's- permanent waves/moving pics,-90s counterparts. The bass on Clockwork angels is fantastic. Then you have individual tracks from none of the above. Then you have the producer/studio/amps etc. I will,stop after one more opinion.. Dog years is a terrible song- but is it as bad as Tai Chen (hold your fire)? Must go now ,)

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1330723614' post='1562337'] Not compared to "Dog Years" it isn't. "Dog Years" has to be the worst song ever written by anybody in the entire history of song writing. IMO...... Yes , that song is bad. [/quote]

Some serious tap dancing involved ?

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1354436312' post='1885852'] Is there much of a scene over your way? Were booking up for next year now so we can look into a gig in your area [/quote] Twickenham ? No. Kingston maybe. Then there's the m25., but I don't drive ,)

Ch guitars?

I tried the usual way on my Mac mini , but error messages came up, or nothing moved. The site won't let me do it on ipad. Any ideas? Cheers

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1354403916' post='1885711'] If you'd been out gigging tonight you wouldn't have seen Sarah Lunds awesome naked bottom - that's as good a reason as I can think of not to join a band. [/quote] Well said,)

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1354384399' post='1885458'] Brill. Some people've just [b]got it[/b]. Ray, here's what you [b]have to[/b] do: Do what your heart tells you to do, and don't let anybody else tell you what to do. Do this right this evening. [b]No delay![/b] BTW, the age argument, if indeed used as an argument for or against something, is nonsense, and you know it. It's just about where and what you wanna be, and by large that is what one needs to listen to. Me, I'm 56. Gave up concerting like 25 years ago, and have only performed a few times since. Now I want out and gig again. If I change my mind tomorrow, then I change my mind. Done! best, bert [/quote] Cheers Bert This evening, I've had a great time on my Washburn status. Later, I shall be watching The Killing,)

Glad it went well,) love the death metal stuff

Wow! So many responses,) . Well, it seems that over90% of you think that I should try again. I suppose , the older you get you analyse more,and become more indecisive .(in my case any way); 2010, was my worst year ever . October of that year was my last gig. I still know a lot of people, but over the years , they got married/ moved out. etc. Trying to get people to see me on a sat night was difficult in that sense. Ones you expect to turn up don't and the ones you don't expect do. Playing in front of one man and his dog , was deflating. Finding places to play is getting harder also. On the positive side of things, my playing has improved while recording bits and pieces on my ipad. Trying to do complete songs takes time tho' ,) May sell a few basses, but love noodling on my Washburn status. As far as another hobby , I have no idea what May join a hair (less) metal band next year. Who knows,)

...I told him I'm too old and fed up with it(soon to be 50) I pointed out the things against age, I don't drive, and location.also usual band politics etc. Then he said ,"you are single ,need to get out more " etc. Apart from possessing good gear, I'm still looking for something to convince me .

Is it joey bartons ?

My Washburn status was very bright sounding .it was made passive And ex band mates loved it .

Remember them on that channel4 programme ECT.It was very funny.The mic wasn't working, So the singer was looking like a giant goldfish,) .Warlock were great tho'.they too had sound problems.
