[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1384290150' post='2274987'] What is a large boned base sound? [/quote] Fat bottom ? Im not fat, Im big boned

My bad, a quick trawl round the net reveals that it is actually a Squier. Learn summat new every day, apologies to all.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1376145230' post='2170208'] Really? I guess it's all a matter of taste. So what do you like? [/quote] Umm I like this ? Love the colour and the shape is different without being radical. Then again, I'm someone who gasses after Guild B301's and Danelectro Longhorns

[quote]Funny that - I've never dropped a pick in 37 years of playing. In fact I used the same pick for about 20 years - until I lost it.[/quote] Whats a 'pick' ? Is it the lost brother of a 'shovel' ?

I doubt I could keep a straight face if I had to play 'Teenage Dirtbag' even though I love the song.

My darling SWMBO thought this would make a sweet Xmas gift last year... [attachment=139765:metal-db.jpg]

Hey and I can get 5000 Nectar points as well ! Seriously tempting

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1373405051' post='2137322'] Turned out the fret markers were at 1 : 3 : 5 : 7 : 9 : 11 : 13 : 15 : 17 : 19 : 21 : 23. . . [/quote] Ahhh, that would be the Metric system then. Far more logical and intuitive than the outmoded Imperial markers.

Shame, saw the pic and thought 'At last a Fender I like the look of' Then clicked the link and saw the price.

....... and pulled

[quote][i]Sparky's Magic Piano voice:[/i] "...For now..!") [/quote] Sorry choom, blown it. Nobody below the age of 50 understands the reference. Anyone younger got a wicked plan?

[quote name='worroourkid' timestamp='1372160682' post='2122284'] Hi, Just browsing the forum as a newcomer and have to say, that guy modelling the Polo shirts looks a bit dodgy !! [/quote] Ahhh, now I start to understand Mr Hall's attitude to BC, clearly thought we were all pikeys (No, no not THE BAN !!! I was joking, honest!)

Awww, I thought Divinity Roxx had finally joined BC oops, another fantasy outed

Well its easier to play than a guitar innit ! Only four strings see and no faffin about with frets. Oh and Mark D Phillips hasnt butchered one (yet)

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1370976561' post='2108239'] Have it for free, mate (I am far left - age 17/18) [/quote] Now do the decent thing, post a larger version for a caption competition

[quote]Sadly, I'm not as good as I'd like to be, but he ho, there's always room for improvement.[/quote] I think that most people on here feel the same in that respect, welcome to the majority .

The song Aqualung still sounds great after all these years and the lyrics haven't lost anything, they still move me.

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1370471022' post='2101641'] Abbey Road is my fave (as long as you skip Maxwell's Silver Hammer - a Macca tune that even the other 3 said was like pulling teeth to record. Cheesey.) [/quote] Abbey Road is the only one I can still go back and listen to. Maxwell's Silver Hammer was a Macca ? All these years I never knew, always sounded like a Ringo (crap) track to me. You may have guessed I'm not a massive 'Fab Four' fan coz I didn't know this

Simply gorgeous and even better, when it's finished one of the links is to her playing Cassado's Danza Finale which I hadn't heard before but will be listened to again. Thanks for this.

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1370196423' post='2097482'] De[u]a[/u]p Val[u]ly[/u] [/quote] Thank you, I'm late to this thread and all the way through that was glaring at me ! Tried hard to like em but failed.

You are all wrong, the violin is the one true sex god

Nope Kate isn't a bass player but this girl is

Electronic autoharp !

Welcome to BC, stay away from the 'For Sale' section though
