I mean, you only ever hear good things about these basses.

I just wished they looked a bit more rock and roll - or maybe that's the point, you could wear them low and look like the [i]ultimate punk [/i]

Spotted this on Facebook. I'll second Nige in saying that I really hope this has a positive outcome.

Here, here!

Very nice

I need some more euphemisms for my application. Also, some pictures of a woman. I know this sounds shady, but I need pictures of women with boobs. To prove that I am right for the job. Help a sister out, Basschat.

f*** it. I was hoping it would be sh*t, and thus avoidable

I'm assuming we'll all be responding to the ad with that Youtube clip, then? I'm all for giving people another chance. Large-breasted Basschat'ers, who may feel agrieved at missing out on this opportunity, are welcome to join my band. All of you.

Welcome Joel

Any "before" pictures, to complete the transformation? Looks very nice

Failing that, we can try [i]regression theory[/i]. I can put you in a headlock until the lack of air makes you think [i]you have gone back to when you were 19[/i], and we can use this regression to diagnose your musical ailments

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1341319860' post='1716908'] Then we played, and I hated every minuet of it, I'm not disrespecting rock bass players in anyway with what I'm saying here (If it wasn't for thrash & rock music I would have never picked up an instrument, I still love the music, but I don't play it any-more) but I was bored, bored by playing open E for what seems like an hour, bored by the same basic bass lines that I used to hammer out when I was 19......... [/quote] They're [i]your [/i]bass lines, chief. If you don't like 'em, change 'em. The genre is just an excuse - but whether you're painting your funk fingernails, or sewing on some sturdy elbow patches for the local jazz festival down the Dog & Badger, you own the lines; compromise, by all means, but don't settle for crap. Personally, reading it, I think you're suffering from [i]Basschatitis - [/i]it's a condition, often foreshadowed by symptoms around feelings of inadequacy, as users bump into other users, who have played [i]longer, [/i]who know [i]more[/i], and who have [i]read some books[/i], which were very f***ing boring. A modest man can succumb quickly to this condition: he can start reading some very boring books, as both means and an end; he can start talking about want to become one with the instrument; and often be found musing over obscure musical frameworks. The only known cure is to go and have some fun. Because that's what it's all about. Not fretw***ing; not reading a book on theory; not listening to someone yack on about how they supported a guy who once tuned Jaco's bass and had a 5hr bass solo in his set. Just, plain and simply, about having fun and [i]the pleasure inherent in the enjoyment of things[/i]. If you don't like the bass lines: write some more fun ones. If you don't like the band: find a more fun one. [i]Ad infinitum[/i], etc, etc. As you were talking out loud and not asking for help, please feel free to disregard

I give in to it when I can afford it without compromising anything else I want to achieve. A sound rule which has worked for me.

Now that's how you sell a bass Great acquisition, hope you enjoy it

A or D.

Well done, chief - I am now looking forward to the buzz around your first gig

Awesome, looks stunning!
