[url="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_King_(snooker_player)"]Mark King[/url]. Crap bassist, by all accounts.

We get together on the 3rd Weds of every month to work on new stuff. We also rehearse on the Wednesday before each gig, playing through the set to make sure it's all good and brushing up any iffy bits.

Mirror.
Failing that, black. Or white pearl.

And Flea does Flea. I quite agree, & I think it's all that needs to be said. None of this "A is far superior to B" bollocks -- it's like arguing over whether oranges or apples are best.
I know who I prefer, by a long way, but it doesn't make him 'better'.

Horace Panter, god yes he was The Man early on in my playing too.

Awwww shucks, ya made me blush... thanks for the compliment mate, if you ever come and see us again then come and say hi... I owe you a pint for that!

[quote name='Rettoglide1' post='837220' date='May 14 2010, 02:46 PM']If you've been playing for any amount of time or are any kind of decent musician you will know the Level 42's records are musically and technically superior to RHCH just by listening.[/quote]
Oh please, don't patronise me. It is quite possible that I have been playing longer than you've been alive. You are attempting to present opinions as fact, that's all.

[quote name='Rettoglide1' post='837121' date='May 14 2010, 01:25 PM']the type of music King plays is far superior to Flea's anyway[/quote]
Can you prove or quantify that, or are you just stating a personal preference? I suspect the latter. Doesn't make it a fact.

Where is it?

[quote name='Rettoglide1' post='834525' date='May 11 2010, 06:54 PM']and as for Flea he's an ok bass player, but nothing special, and certainly nowhere remotely near league of the guys i mentioned.[/quote]
Or in other words, "bassist A is better than bassist B".

What was I saying about it being a pointless argument?

[quote name='Rettoglide1' post='834446' date='May 11 2010, 05:36 PM']And this guy is being compared to Mark King.....what a joke![/quote]
It might come as a great shock, but not everyone likes Kinger as much as you do. This doesn't make you right and them wrong, or vice versa for that matter. There really is nothing quite as pointless as arguing that bassist A is 'better than' bassist B.

Ooh, nice. And you said [i]he[/i] sounded like a two year old..?

Go and write out 100 times, "I must listen to James Brown".

[quote name='OldGit' post='832239' date='May 9 2010, 02:43 PM']Alan's only 50?
Amazing!
Great picture [/quote]
I reckon Alan looks about 40, never mind 50
was a great night, Al played a song on every instrument in the band he even played sitar on one. It was interesting to hear my bass in someone else's hands. We clubbed together and bought him a trumpet.

From our sax/keys/everything player's 50th birthday party gig-ette last night. Blurry, but I kinda like it actually. Yay, I'm officially a Bass Player In A Hat

Le Freak. I'm in heaven

I'm ampGAS free too. I'd like to try a couple of variations, different cabs really, but it's just vague curiosity. My Genz/Eden combination is doing the biz for me at the moment.

And "Why You Are Too Stupid To Ever Gain Respect As A Musician"

[quote name='gelfin' post='828021' date='May 4 2010, 11:08 PM']Anyone remember the POINT?[/quote]
Yes, very fondly. I enjoyed playing there. It was a disgrace the way it was killed off

If it's anywhere near as good as my much older AKG wireless (and being newer, it's probably better), then it's very good indeed. Infinitely better than the Nady I used to have. Have an unneeded bumpette

Brilliant news! Our gig there earlier this year didn't happen due to all the legal nonsense... hopefully we can reschedule it now!

[quote name='Wil' post='819419' date='Apr 26 2010, 02:25 PM']Brycie left for finnbass around the time the forums changed to Basstalk/Basschat. He's still in Hush I think.[/quote]
Yeah, Chris is a nice guy. He bought my Toby 6 and I bought his Hartke amp. I wish he was still here.
