  1. Yup. The difference is knowing when not to be busy.
  2. A sad occasion this weekend, as the trial WB-100 was collected by its first proper owner (another BC'er, I'm happy to say). Funds are tight for me at the mo, otherwise I would have bought it seconds after gigging it for the first time. I hope to correct that soon, though - until then, back to the also-marvellous R-400.
  3. Oh no. That's totally ruined my enjoyment of Def Leppard and Kiss.
  4. The truly remarkable thing about the vid is that the bandleader's glasses match his hair. That's SO COOL.
  5. I've been quite openly saying people have different approaches to mine. It's you that seems to struggle to comprehend that others can do it their own way.
  6. ...in your experience. I've (been lucky to have) played with people who just play, and don't need to get embroiled in the theory, or dot reading. Some of them undoubtedly do that with other projects, some don't. And they all do fine.
  7. You need to read all of my post...
  8. You learn it as the songwriter intends, which can be done either by following the dots, or just having a good ear.
  9. I probably am, and thank you. 'Right place, right time' can never be underestimated 😄
  10. The band learn it as the songwriter intends. And if it sounds cack, they persuade him/her to standardise it into something that feels right.
  11. Ha.. I'm fine until I get to a song with stops or stabs. Then it all falls apart (apparently) 😄
  12. Err... OK. I stand by my previous comment 🙂
  13. What do you consider a 'theoretical framework'?
  14. I doubt that's directly related to a lack of theoretical understanding.
  15. It's all horses for courses. Is it useful? Undoubtedly. Is it important? It depends.
  16. Maybe. But for every 'some great moments', there's far more great moments out there, on-line, waiting to be discovered.
  17. I depends on context, I suppose. I don't read, but I don't really knock around with musicians who rely on it, so it's never been a problem.
  18. People still buy these mags? ..actually, I guess not. That's why they're merging. Hooray for BC, I say.
  19. https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/77-events/
  20. Where are you based, Roger?
  21. There are a lot of queens reigning in countries around the world. I imagine most of them are well respected, and do lots of great stuff. Also, some are more well-known than others. In those terms, Aretha is Queen Elizabeth II.
  22. It's a Fender(style) thing, It's usually only noticeable if you're looking for it, and you certainly can't hear it. It shouldn't put anyone off buying this bass.
  23. This. All music is new if you ain't heard it before.
  24. Ha.. that would be nice. The most recent quote I heard was £900 delivered.
