    Man I love the look of this bass. Never had a Moollon myself, but I've only read great stuff about them. Just a shame it has one string too many. GLWTS 👍

    I don't know. Maybe your example is the so-called exception that proves the rule, or your rule is a different type of rule, or I only reminder bits from my uni class. Man, it's 25 years ago, so I probably don't remember everything, don't even remember what I had for lunch today 😉 So, as the great philosopher H P Baxter once said, the question is what is the question?
  3. Eldon Tyrell
    I honestly did not think of politics. I just thought back to a course at university (sociology, social systems) where we discussed that a rule always includes the non following of the rules. For example, if no one ever kills anyone, then you do not need a rule or law saying that "you must not kill" in the first place. Anyway, back to finding loopholes to be able stay in the gear abstince game 😀

    Yes, it is just a bit of fun and, from a philosophical perspective, it is crucial that some people break the rules as there would not be the need for a rule without any rule breaking otherwise. Breaking the rule is a requirement for the rule to exist in the first place. Think about it.

    "Need more speed" - sorry, I am a bit confused. Since when is it ok to openly ask for a class A drug on BC? 😉

    What a lovely bass. Fab finish. Looks great 🤩 Good news for me is that it has one string too many (can hardly cope with 4 strings). GLWTS 👍

    Imagine the Peppers were self-reflective like the Matrix director Lara Wachowski (Matrix IV pretty much mocks the first three), then they would use @Ricky Rioli's Gordon Ramsey rant as a rap (with a nice funky groove) for a new song called "Black Summer Resurrections" 😉

    Fully agree. Nice song that could easily be a Californication B-side. Great to have John back though!

    Well if that's really an exam question, then I'll critically say: where is the link between "will power" and "happiness"? Where is the empirical evidence for this hypothesized relationship? Well, I guess now you know why I wasn't popular in school (or university or work) 🙂

    Tried it out and it really works. Sounds much better 🙂 Not sure about the "nu prog grindgrunge" label though.

    Cool, 50+ olds and punk remind me of these videos. Check them out 😎

    I realised in 2016 that we must be living in a computer simulation when nearby Leicester City won the PL. Leicester City? Really? This clearly must have been a glitch in the matrix 🤪
  14. Eldon Tyrell
    and we are all living in the matrix anyway. Time to wake up

    C'mon, I just want to have some fun. We can make our own rules, these are just social constructs anyway.

    I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread, we could change the rules and what really matters could be the difference between bought and sold gear. So, yes, as long as the number of sold basses, cabs, heads and pedals equals the number of bought ones, you are still in. I already sold four basses, have so far bought only one new one, so I am currently at -3. Therefore, I am still in and can even buy three more basses 😁

    or what if I say that I did not know that I bought a bass? or that I did not know that it was a bass? or that I did not know that buying a bass was against the rules of the gear abstinence club? I clearly got ambushed with a bass. Not my fault 😎
  18. Eldon Tyrell
    what if I send it to the shop that sold it to me and they then sell it as a used bass? Then I am back in, right as I only temporarily bought it from them? Kind of rented it 😉
  19. Eldon Tyrell
    Ricks sell...but Who's buying?
  20. Eldon Tyrell
    Good question. I bought one but will sell it soon, so I am back in, right?
  21. Eldon Tyrell
    Are you sure you really need this strange bright one in the middle? It clearly does not go well with the other two. Happy to be of help and take it from you. As the great late Meat Loaf once sang "Two out of three ain't bad" 😉

    Here we go again. Another one dissing St Anger. How many times do we have to read about how bad this album is, especially the horrible snare drum sound? How many times? Over and over again people criticise this album, telling us how bad it is. It has become such an easy target. However, if you sit down, relax and listen to it from start to finish, then you will hopefully realise that it is actually... really that bad 😉

    Maybe I should try out the Pure Blues too. They look great on your bass, they are pure indeed as they really make the fretboard and the top shine more than any other set of strings could do 😉
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    Very nice. Welcome to the club 🙂
