Wot a 'tard.

Well I liked his playing a lot.

I bought a bunch of CDs off of Rob. Top guy, perfect transaction and everything turned up speedy quick. I couldn't be more happy if I was rubbing babyoil into a couple of naked playgirl bunnies .......... on second thoughts, bad analogy ........... positive feedback for Rob all the way though!

I always loved the look of Warwicks, and thought that I'd really want one someday. However, when I finally got my hands on a few to try they TOTALLY weren't my thing. A bit dissapointing, but I got over it. So I'd go for the stingray myself. EDIT: Try a Spector (Euro 5). They are great!

I've never heard of drawing before?? (In a musical context) I know so little about playing bass with others! Really must try it one day ...

A new law should be passed. Everyone should be made accountable for their internet posts. It could be pretty hard to police, but I have a plan: When God does the judgement day thing and burns all sinners in hell, we could get him to tack a paragraph or two on general posting behaviour after the big chunk of sinful naughtiness. Shouldn't take up too much extra time and I don't suppose that we will all have anything urgent to do by then anyway.

Fantastic! I love it. I thought of doing something exactly like that years ago, great to see that it works.

I alway stand up. The room I practice in has a pretty high table top so it's good for twiddling with the mac laptop etc.

Hmmmn ........ I find it a bit disconcerting when people want to abuse instruments in this way, unless it's i) a pile of poop anyway ii) something that you are definitely keeping for life. Still, it's up to you! Have you thought about getting a vinyl cut done? It's more easily reversible! There's probably union jacks already available, for cars etc.

I wanted one really good bass and I now have it. Probably end of bass GAS. I play quite a few instruments but I only really GAS for 6 string guitars. Everything else I have one 'really good un' now, infact I have the perfect bass, acoustic guitar, chapman stick, electronic drumkit and electric guitar so GAS should be a thing of the past (yeah, right!). The one thing I could improve on would be a better keyboard, but to be honest the ones I have are OK for my purposes and I don't really drool over keyboards.

Luthii .... sounds a bit like an Aztec god???

I don't mean to be rude, but that sort of ‘relicing’ doesn't really do it for me (although I love relics!). It looks a bit too much like you had to fight it off with a screwdriver in the dead of night! Makes a good punk bass though. Personally, I think that the best way to attain a 'relic' type finish is to strip all the paint off, do some careful masking of areas to stay as ‘wood’ (checking some genuine relic photos for accuracy) Respray body and coat with nitro, and then use that as your starting point for ‘blending it all in. I was going to do that with a strat of mine, but I stripped off the paint and it looked so cool (to me!) that I just left it like that. Having said that, it’s your bass and if you are happy with it then fine!
