Apart from your made up "fact" about Bach, you being more a troll than contributing or being unable to interpret dialogue. As you've already proved in your tantrum Jaco non-thread and subsequent replies, despite having it pointed out to you by other BCers, most of your almost-to-be-100 posts haven't been that helpful.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1360777162' post='1976350'] would that work? like it's not pigment, it's several layers of nitro/acrylic topped with a clear coat.... [/quote] No idea, it's obviously not for it's original purpose, but all good guys doing anything permanent practise on some scrap first. There would be a abuild up of layers too which might end up higher than the logo.

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1360775597' post='1976308'] Nearly at a stage where my p/j build body can be sprayed, I really want the head on the neck to be coloured the same, but it will involve ruining a perfectly good USA fender headstock logo etc. Should I do it ? [/quote] In good art shops years ago you could buy liquid rubber which was painted onto artwork to shield desired copy from an airbrush. Assuming you're handy enough with a paint-brush to paint over the logo & text you want to keep? After you've painted it rubs off with a pencil eraser. No idea if it's still available, but if it is it would be "the very dab" (c) Pa Broon.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1360769768' post='1976186']We will all agree that the Beatles and Elton John are great artists , because they will be the only pop music we have ever heard .[/quote] But we'd have to listen to them on those bootleg vinyl postcards, which will generate lively, healthy friendly debate on whether vinyl is better than CD.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1360769148' post='1976174']Now if you don't get it, you don't get it and it can't be explained so you do.[/quote] Based on almost all of your posts so far you don't mind too much if I just have you down as a kid troll out to stir it do you?

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1360766915' post='1976131']You're all a massive bag of tw@ts btw. [/quote] Wrong thread mate, http://basschat.co.uk/topic/199492-a-collective-noun-for-bassists/

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1360760729' post='1975940'] Not a fan then(?)[/quote] Neither one way or the other tbh; I just fancied ropping in a "Citizen Smith" quote. I hear a lot being said of Geddy Lee too on here, when I listen to him I don't hear anything remarkable, which probabaly entitles me to a place against the wall too, nor do I with Macca or many other bassists. But my guess would be that any one of them would be preferred to be seen as one element of the sum of the parts.

[quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1360754146' post='1975784'] [/quote] Maybe not! It may end up as a [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6AuKENgmLQ[/media]

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1360753851' post='1975775']Another Fab Factlet: The Beatles and Paul McCartney were the catalyst that prompted Chris Squire to consider a career in music and take up the bass guitar. [/quote] For that alone; come the glorious day, he'll be first against the wall, bop, bop, bop.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1360711776' post='1975422']......................... taking their pants off for a fight.[/quote] I've heard it called a lot of things but I've never heard it called THAT before!"

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1360704885' post='1975230']Must be doing something right then.[/quote] Uw locatie zegt Noorwegen maar ik zou veronderstellen Flanders enige tijd?

was the logo - or one very much like this - in my school band many eons ago. Oh how the art/drama teacher laughed every time he called us "Spilt Milk".

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1360700160' post='1975064'] A twat of old bastards. [/quote] Not so much of the "A" if you don't mind!

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1360688630' post='1974740'] I bet he owns a gallery...no...wait......wrong forum.... [/quote] It was a market wasn't it?

[quote name='marcus bell' timestamp='1360695094' post='1974916'] ............ and mark had carried on using jaydee basses[/quote] Presumably he still does to some degree or other?? At the time I met him (c'01) he was on a brief spell (so far as I know) on Fenders, possibly customised but he was still dropping in on John.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1360694654' post='1974905'] Apparently you misunderstood Nancy. I gave a serious answer, you just don't want to accept it, because that would mean admitting your foolishness. [/quote] I don't think you did, you just dressed up your opinion as a fact. I have accounts at a couple of classical only shops, I'll see if they know of anyone that states for a fact that Bach is THE most influential classicist. I think they'll agree with me that it's an absurd and unquantifiable proposal.

Had their live at Wembley on video & played it till it fell to bits; no such problem with the DVD Met him once at Jaydee's but was almost completely tongue-tied & hoping that he didn't ask me to play anything. A very nice guy, but I've found mosts "names" are when out of the public eye. There was an excellent docu on TV about him a few years ago - mostly at his home, showing his drumming as well as recording.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1360687840' post='1974719'] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-GkwIRbLw8[/media] [/quote] Oooh, ooo, a John Birch

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1360681949' post='1974529'] ...and a very pertinent question it is, too. Documented fact..? Well, even the Beatles bowed to his influence (Bach in the USSR, Get Bach etc...). Beethoven..? No, he'd never heard of Bach (well he was deaf, innit..?) ...and as for Brahms and Liszt, they were too... (Oh, s[i]orry; I have to go now[/i]...) [/quote] At least your answer was more worthwhile than Lowenders. FWIW, Jimmy Lea, who was a classical violinist from the age of 14 among other accomplishments, as well as a Macca fan, cited Mozart above the other classicists, & often dropped a bit of Gershwin into Slade gigs. Though I don't hang on to his every word & have been known to actually go in the door rather than stand outside his house .

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1360678403' post='1974435']Admit it -- you're try trying to be provocative now. If you don't understand the Beatles or Bach and their importance, that's fine. But don't pass off a lack of understanding as insight. It's just silly. [/quote] Yeah OK sweetheart; any one that has so much difficulty understanding three words such as "serious question, honest" has serious problems of their own so as to be not worth giving credence to. Choob.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1360677824' post='1974415'] Oh come on now, everyone has a favourite Beatles tune! Even my dad does, he claims to hate them. [/quote] In the very depths of my divorce, which was especially nasty on her part I once cried when I heard "Carry That Weight". Does that count?

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1360677283' post='1974395'] ...wanna buy a bass? I bought it cheap... [/quote] See! Now you missed a chance there, if you'd said "it's [i]going[/i] cheap", I could have said "No good, I want a bass that goes ba-doing!"

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1360676740' post='1974375'] Bach has been [b]the[/b] most influential musician of the last 400 years.[/quote] Is that documented fact? From his contemporaries or shortly after - or something accepted by classical experts? As opposed to Beethoven, Strauss, Litsz, Wagner etc Serious question, honest.

[quote name='Perennial' timestamp='1360676759' post='1974377'] To claim that my opinion is not valid because I'm new is frankly quite stupid.[/quote] No, absolutely not, but making assumptions without foundation most definitely is.
