PS - if anyone here is considering taking me seriously, please don't.[/quote] McCartney great? Don't know, I said he was much heralded by some Jilly Cooper writes that's all I'll say on that. And my mum likes Pam Ayres so I'll leave that one alone as well. All I can say is that I like the carrots.

Most of us don't know how to read music because it takes too long. Especially when your crappy job, diy, kids and all those other responsibilities get in the way. Like many others, and as Wii wrote, for me music is a hobby. In my case I don't want to feel I have to learn to read music because that becomes a chore. And then there is the simple case that many of us don't need to read music, personally I'd rather learn more theory. Then there's also the fact that some of the much heralded players can't read music either. Are we going to tell Sir Paul Macartney and Mark King they are lightweights because they can't read music? Dare you! [quote]Oh dear, he we go again with the 'you cant be a great player if you dont read' argument. Close the thread right now and save everyone the time and effort......[/quote] +1

Loved it. The man just accentuates cool. +1 git

I tend not to take anything apart so afraid am not much help with that. Just wanted to add that the finish you want looks great. I really like translucent paint effects.

Definitely not me. My passport has run out so I can't leave Devon, and I haven't had my vaccinations. Oh, and I'm not in a band at the moment.

Cheers.

I've been trawling through google trying to find an Ibanez parts dealer but have had no luck. Anyone got any suggestions?

I've obviously got a lot to learn. Always tended to just listen to what sounds good with any given chord - probably need to do a bit more work!

Two of my best friends were learning to play guitar. Then we all decided to form a band and I was left with either drums or bass (I don't sing, on principle). So it was bass for two reasons 1. I didn't have anywhere to put a drum kit. 2. I wanted to be a musician! (how pretentious).

That's put a whole new slant on things. He's certainly no John Entwistle

Go for the spector. Yamaha second.

Played through the Line 6 in a store the other day, very impressed.

Even if you don't play a Fender (like me) you have to acknowledge that without the man things just wouldn't be the same. Full respect to Leo Fender.

RESULT.

middle age spread gets put on everything - wagon wheels. farley's rusks - two of my fav foods, must have been spread with something cause they are a lot smaller now.

Saw them twice in the early 90's. Once at Milton Keynes Bowl then at Wembley Stadium. Never really into them but they were bloody good live. Better than some more established acts!

BGM is a bit like bass players themselves. Understated but fulfills an essential duty. Wish it was a bit longer finished mine by 3pm yesterday only bought at midday!

My points on this are. 1. Tell her ASAP and offer to have it repaired. 2. She might be more pissed that you put a pic of her on a site full of men. 3. She is hot and I would, (optional)[/quote] Very married couldn't possibly comment. More

The common consensus, and I'm with that, is confess your sin. Good thread by the way enjoying this one a [size=6]lot[/size]

Anyone know where I can find either the tab or notation for Women by Free. Trawled the usual tab websites with no joy. Thought I'd ask on the off chance. It's not particularly important, just mucking about with some songs thought this one might be alright know!
