You're right he is quite nifty. I gave up because there were too many licks and I couldn't remember them all and it addled my brain. I want to play alternative and punk now (because I know what I'm doing there)

[quote name='silddx' post='728833' date='Jan 29 2010, 03:48 PM']Does she know it's now at the bargain price of £675, and I'll chuck in the antique fish for free? What's her number? [/quote] She's a tough nut to crack when it comes to money is my wife. Even the fish didn't sway it.

[quote name='silddx' post='728821' date='Jan 29 2010, 03:41 PM'][/quote] Stop showing off the white Warwick, it's tantamount to torture you evil swine I'm going to have to lie down in a dark room for a while. The wife said the black Warwick looked nice as well, I said 'it's for sale', when I mentioned how much she lost interest What's that funny stunted looking thing at the end with the maple fretboard?

Welcome.

A hearty welcome from the westcountry.

[quote name='thinman' post='728025' date='Jan 28 2010, 07:57 PM']Someone's bound to have pointed this out before but isn't "Fretless Precision Bass" a contradiction in terms? Wasn't a Precision called that becaue it had frets, i.e. it had precise tuning, as opposed to all previous bass instruments being fretless? Must get more to do....[/quote] Have you contacted Fender about this gaff!

I didn't know John Merrick had two uglier sisters.[/quote] [quote name='silddx' post='728061' date='Jan 28 2010, 08:22 PM']He had a fair number of them going by that thread.[/quote] Now, now then. They're probably really nice people. Look they're smiling a lot.

A Salsa exercise cd the lovely wife brought home from salsa classes. God it's awful. Fake smile, it's lovely darling.

It's definitely Flea on my album version, must admit I wasn't aware of an alternative recording. But I don't get out much.

[quote name='silddx' post='727745' date='Jan 28 2010, 04:11 PM']Have you seen this thread mate? [/quote] Is it me, or does that thread make no sense whatsoever? Like when you post on here one post leads to another bit like a story but that is just so random.

Thoroughly agree with the last 3 posts.

[attachment=41289:images.jpeg] This has become frustratingly tedious.

Personally no. If you'd seen them you'd know why

WTF is going on. The MILF thread was always going to get closed. That was obvious as soon as it was started. Just live with it. The mods deemed it unsuitable for the forum, and thats the end surely.

Is Wayne going to IBTL?

Wouldn't let it get that far to start with. Lucky to both know what the balance is.

Biffy Clyro but I'm not really enjoying it.

It's more than likely to be a Ricky because it looks very similar if not identical to this, which is definitely a ricky. [attachment=41254:images.jpeg]

[quote name='Sonic_Groove' post='726373' date='Jan 27 2010, 02:24 PM']+ 2 Build calluses. In the old days (when I were a lad!!! LOL) we used to rub surgical spirit on the ends of our finger to help harden them! In them days strings were barbed-wire and action was what you got at the weekend! B[/quote] I remember hearing about the likes of Clapton concocting all kind of potions to build up calluses. Now where did I put my mixing bowl?

It definitely could be a Ricky.

[quote name='silddx' post='726330' date='Jan 27 2010, 01:59 PM']Your fingers look pure and fresh, unsullied by the calluses I would expect from a bass player. If I was an ancient Greek I would have you perfumed and sent to my room. I think you should play more, an hour or two of hard playing/practicing everyday on the Ric. That should have you fully manned up within a couple of weeks.[/quote] You flirt you. Definite need to build up some calluses. I haven't played properly for about 2 months now so mine are gradually disappearing. Don't seem to stay as long as they used to I would have thought it would have been the other way around: older=callus stays longer. But not it would seem.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='726129' date='Jan 27 2010, 10:38 AM']I suggest you don't try playing a 32-foot bass then. Stonehenge, anyone?[/quote]

I'd probably have a pop at the 32'. But I'm not very big and have got crap hands
