It makes no sense, don't listen to them. If you need to change anything then get a smaller amp and a smaller cab.

Move house.

[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1374443010' post='2148897'] I'm sorry but I find little offence in your position [/quote] Damn ...

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1374439062' post='2148829'] It seems that you did, because I said nothing the [u]intention[/u] behind your post, only it's likely interprepation. If you brand a piece of music as 'dire' then you're implying that anyone who happens to like and enjoy that music has dire taste in music, which if not offensive is certainly a tad on the rude side. [/quote] But actually it's OK to offend people, I'm strongly in favour of offending people. It's more than OK to offend, it's essential for people to be offended sometimes. Your freedom of expression is my freedom to be offended and my freedom to say so. And vice versa. Long live offence.

[quote name='gazzatriumph' timestamp='1374436938' post='2148786'] made some adjustments for intonation and it seems ok [/quote] I'd say you're happy then, at least I would be.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1374432589' post='2148689'] I will be biding my time from now until I get the oppotunity to use that gag on someone else . In the meantime , I've got a coat you can borrow to put over your head to hide the shame ... [/quote] I just used it now on someone else, it worked well.

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1374424460' post='2148564'] ... certainly offensive to accuse people of having 'dire' taste in music. [/quote] But what if some people do have dire taste in music and I am offended by that? What shall we do then?

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1374411845' post='2148425'] Species is a singular and a plural. [/quote] That's correct and maybe I could or even should have read it that way. Dinosaurs however is still not [i]a[/i] species.

[quote name='gazzatriumph' timestamp='1374408567' post='2148378'] Cheers for your replies, it does play nice no fret buzz etc, so do you think I would still need to tweek the truss rod [/quote] With higher tension strings you would expect no fretbuzz as the neck will be more bowed. Higher action is fine though especially with hollow body. How is the intonation?

You shouldn't need to worry about neck damage but you may need to tweak the truss rod, that's what it's there for, and do a setup.

Oh no, Teasie-Weasie-Cheazie-Weazie. Definite conspiracy.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1374340388' post='2147831'] [attachment=139512:Pick_Onio.jpg] Thought you might like a pickled onion with that cheese... [/quote] You're surely not suggesting Pastorius could be cheezie-weazie are you?

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1374340500' post='2147833'] Note the spelling variations: Teasie-Weasie / Teazie Weazie. Bit like the Pastorious / Pistorious thing. Two leading 'stylists', [i]both[/i] with commonly mispelt names. Bizarre coincidence or dark conspiracy? You decide. [/quote] I've never seen them in the same room at the same time.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1374338963' post='2147815'] Mr Teazie Weazie was one of the great hair stylists but you don't get mass fanboi attacks when his name comes up. [/quote] Ah yes, the great Raimondo Bessone: He taught Vidal Sassoon everything he knew.

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1374323504' post='2147555'] I'm always amused when dinosaurs are used in a disparaging manner. Remind me how long they were the dominant species on this planet compared with our own blink of an eye? Or perhaps I'm mistaken and you really meant that such classic rock will rule the roost for millions of years? [/quote] Dinosaurs is not a species.

[quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1374324023' post='2147566'] Advice? Never trust a fart and never waste an erection!! Happy Birthday mate! [/quote] Isn't that forty not fifty.

Mmmm ... Siena ... very nice.

I wonder if Clarky has bought himself a birthday present.

Happy birthday Clarky, I thought you were only 30.

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1374305943' post='2147325'] haha plenty of pics in interwebsland of jaco with his J wonder why he never played a P? [/quote] Jaco had a Jazz bass with a Precision neck which he used for practise. I think you can see it in the video in post #8.

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1374304428' post='2147305'] Marcus you could always try another beatles thread just to distract everybody from this one [/quote] Why not combine the two? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd6DTRywF7Q

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1374268992' post='2147164'] There's a phenomena of human achievement which is that it takes much, much more effort to break a boundary than copy it. We can all play 'Teen Town' now ... [/quote] Speeak for yourself. I'm confident I can't play Teen Town now, not that I've ever tried. I'll have to dig it out and have a listen or perhaps I won't bother. More importantly, it really is quite ridiculous the way people keep alotting their own experience to everybody else. [quote name='visog' timestamp='1374268992' post='2147164'] .. .but it took some real talent to write and play it when most other people were struggling with the latest ACDC riff. [/quote] I've never had any interest in AC/DC and I couldn't recognise their latest riff if you paid me. [quote name='visog' timestamp='1374268992' post='2147164'] ... In fact, most people didn't conceive or think in terms of entirely 16th note bass lines at the time. [/quote] So, who were Pastorius's influences there? Jerry Jemmott? James Jamerson? Who else?

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1374265064' post='2147103'] What a shame. Not to worry. [/quote] I'm not worried and it's not a shame.
