[quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304'] But some of youse guys here on this Forum.... Wow wow wow. [/quote] I know what you mean, buddy. I went on Talkbass once, too; pack of *****. Good job you got out when you did. Welcome in or some sh*te

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1342627408' post='1738217'] That's nothing. Beethoven died 185, [b]yes 185[/b] years ago but people are still cashing in on him. [/quote] Wow, that must have been one [i]old [/i]dog...

I just got a PM from John Hall warning me that it's definitely an illegally produced Ric copy. You can tell this from the use of wood and four strings. If we don't comply he's going to take us all to the small claims court and we'll all go down and end up sharing prison cells with men who like men.

Looks good. The only person I've seen not make the block inlay work was Hitler.

I wish ESP Surveyors were suddenly unpopular, as I quite fancy giving one a try Someone make this happen.

Couldn't [i]afjord[/i] it? Takk!

Well, the joy of recording... you wouldn't know it took 20 takes! Are you expecting to play it live, too? That's always my concern when we demo something, [i]"Ok, I've got it now... can I do it after four pints and in front of punters?"[/i]

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1342623969' post='1738094'] I'm with you on this one. It's frustrating getting asked the same questions all the time but it's a pet peeve of mine to see experienced board members point people in the direction of the 'search' function when it's obvious that the OP is just wanting to get some advice and is most likely unaware of how seriously we can take ourselves from time to time! Get over it boys, answer the question. My (short) answer is to play with both, and to press home how unimportant it is that pick playing might well be seen as the less 'professional' way to do things. What a load of nonsense! [/quote] Amen. Although, in defence of some of the old curmudgeons, our young scallywag and latest member [i]did [/i]have his own opinion to hand. I don't think we enlightened him. Though he did offer to take us for a beer, so I instantly rate him higher than most of you ball bags Apart from discreet. He's a class of one. Just one.

[quote name='ben604' timestamp='1342605152' post='1737595'] The Cavern is and always has been a live music venue, not a Beatles venue. It's the expectations of the Beatles fans which need to be managed! [/quote] Bam! This is it, people.

Aw man, for a magical moment I thought you'd read the thread on pick playing and decided to try my [i]drag your dick on the strings [/i]technique - in which case, this was the best thread ever, with a title which worked on all levels! However, containing my disappointment, I thought it was a great little riff! I'll be honest, for me, that would have gone in the "tricky" pile - kinda tough, but sounding really fun Nice work Chris

[quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1342615921' post='1737906'] I do understand fingering is a valid technique. As proven by the massive phenomenom that is 50 Shades Of Grey. [/quote] Further validation for my [i]drag your dick on the strings[/i] technique

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1342613652' post='1737855'] Struggling to find the difference between this thread and the recent 11 page epic? [/quote] The Search function knows, but it's not telling.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1342611977' post='1737815'] So if finger players are better than pick players, where do I stand in all of this? [/quote] You stand in front of me, lah, so I can keep an eye on you... you dirty finger player, you

[quote name='Alex Nikitin' timestamp='1342611271' post='1737795'] [color=#000080]As for soundung itself, a decent effect pedal board or processor can turn a bass sound into any tone wanted.[/color] [/quote] Cool, so you could equally play pick and make it sound like fingerstyle, thus regaining the mantle of most respected from those nefarious fingerers! Of course, the really cool kids would then just bang their dicks on the strings. Nothing more manly than that. Not with an effects board.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1342566423' post='1737316'] You been working on your Magnum? [/quote] Blue Steel. Sorry, would have replied earlier, but got into a petrol fight...

[quote name='Alex Nikitin' timestamp='1342607743' post='1737683'] [b][color=#000080]Playing bass with a pick or fingers[/color][/b] [color=#000080]which gives more groove? which shows you are more talented? which is more respected?[/color] [/quote] [b]Don't[/b] go on Youtube with this one. I've seen less ball bags in the shower after a match, than on that load of sh*te. In short, you can groove with both techniques. Having the ability to use both shows you have more capability in your playing than someone limited to one technique. Both are equally well respected. Tone is the real changing factor - and it's an individual call as to what you prefer, and what the song calls for.

This thread is in danger of becoming more ridiculously good looking than Zoolander.

[quote name='Bass-Thing' timestamp='1342544013' post='1736915'] If you are still interested Gust0o I will ask her but she's not keen on mustaches or big hair (which is why I shave my head because my hair looks like your when I grow it). [/quote] Smashing mate. I'll have a shave and then she can sort out my iRig. Needs plugging in.

MIne is Sex on Fire. I love playing it live. Especially when the rest of the band are playing another song. I find it keeps them on their toes.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1342529089' post='1736602'] Well at least he can take it on the [s]chin[/s] [b]chins[/b]. [/quote] Fixed it for you, honeybear
