Lord Sausage

Just turned it on and Dave Grohl's rockin out. Just trying the suss the band. It's Jeff Lynne on gtr an vox. Is it Lukather on Lead?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1399041833' post='2440377'] [Robert Robertson] Ah, but will you find time to finish the opus, sir; there lies the rub..![/Robert Robertson] [/quote] probably not! ha ha. another unfinished entry

Got something. Like a contrast thing. Got something down already!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1399015862' post='2439898'] We just have to accept that our works are a minority interest sub-genre. [/quote]

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1398978350' post='2439734'] Now, now..! If I was an optimist, I'd say 'The voting's not yet over; there's still time for you to win..!'. * No, I'm not an optimist. However, your remark could be made by just about any of us. Of course, if to "do any good at this" one has to be near the top of the votes, you'd have a point. Getting a vote only means that one person thought your piece the best. No more, no less. Those that get less votes, or none at all, are not being judged as 'no good'; merely that there's better on offer. Looking at the current voting position (all is not yet sealed...), there's no-one this month that can lay claim to being the only 'good' one. Your piece is fine, despite, as you say yourself, being less than than that which you intended. For my part, I'd be proud to be able to produce semi-finished work such as your entry. The alternative would be for all of us that amass less than the votes we'd like to renounce, and participate no more. That would leave only one or two each month to choose from..! No, diversity is a great strength, and all the contributions reinforce that, and are necessary. Onward and upward; next month will be another challenge..! * (...[i]unless you were aiming at the 'beaten puppy' sympathy vote for next time, in which case ignore all of the above[/i]... ) [/quote]Ha ha. No i wasn'T going for sympathy vote...just playing along. Fortunately for me i have a high sense of self confidence, some people say narcissism...but they would say that as they are jealous of my beauty and genius. I just enter this for the crack the result is irrelevant really. I don't think I've ever voted for the piece that won. So it's all subjective to what's best!

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1398950142' post='2439312'] This thread has been re-opened after multiple requests and consideration from the moderation team. [/quote] The lunatics have taken over the asylum!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1398955214' post='2439397'] I am beating the Sausage.... Errrm. I think I better rephrase that [/quote] I never do any good at this!

Not that you are a floppy haired emo

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1398897191' post='2438926'] All fair comment. I know that eventually someone would have levelled it all out and then John would have felt supported as well as criticised, instead of where it is now - a cliff edge of vitriol. [/quote]Cliff edge of Vitriol....a great name for a floppy haired emo modern metal band or a Punk/hardcore/Pantera album.....call your next band that!

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1398897133' post='2438925'] But it wasn't, or at least, if it was becoming one they, Letts, were providing the rope. Whilst the feedback forum is normally the place, it was clear that in this case it was about more than feeding back, but about trying to get something done. I don't think the thread should have been closed until the OP's situation had been resolved, most appropriately I'd guess by a full refund. [/quote] BC ain't Trading Standards

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1398896834' post='2438919'] Which is exactly why I closed it down. What possible good can come out of a bunch of people, most of whom aren't even waiting on a bass to keep stating the bleeding obvious? It's already a matter of record that some people have had problems and are unhappy, it's a matter of record that one of Jon's employees made a mistake. It's just coming across as petty now. [/quote] Gotta agree with icastle. All the BC members were right on, but the point had been made and it wasn't gonna go anywhere great!

I've only met two. One who I bought a Fender jazz 62 re issue fretless off. Met him in Sutton Coldfield. As we know the whole midlands is a very weird place. I've never seen him again on here. And the legendary Risingson. Who was playing the aftershow party of a tour I'd just completed. Great player, we ended up shitfaced in a casino!.........gambling someone else's money!

blackmore and coverdale probably stayed as succesful in various guises

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1398618189' post='2435791'] Metallica still slated heavily for Saturday night headline slot which I couldn't be less excited to see if I tried so I'll most likely be elsewhere watching something a lot better! [/quote] Like down the local watching any pub band play Sex on fire!

Just been spraying the first coat of primer and a bastard fly landed on it. GRRRRRRR!

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1398444200' post='2434238'] Funnily enough, I was umming and erring on whether to be a little bit critical this month and seeing that Lord Sausage seems to be on the same wavelength as me I will. There is absolutely no doubt there is some great playing and great ideas every month in this competition and I have supported it every month for a good while now, but what his Lordship says is very true, there is a tendency to forget the compositions side of things. Way to much cool riffage going on, not enough sections as said, but also, not enough attention paid to a top line - I'd love to hear some more tunes! So keep up the good work, but if you're after my vote you now know what I'm after next month! Cheers, Mike [/quote] I initially didn't put mine up for entry as it isn't finished and there was no vocal or melody development. But Skol asked to put it in and i didn't feel strongly enough about it to say no. I did enter one month that had melodic development, counterpoint. Returning themes etc. Got very few votes. Not that I'm bitter. ha ha

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1398442121' post='2434198'] Daft thing is it'd cost you a small fortune to buy them direct from 'W'! [/quote] Madness! cheers!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1398440947' post='2434175'] I bought a full set. I paid a lot more, but they came with a free set of pups, strings, body and neck. They're light-weight and stable; don't need re-tuning much. I'd buy them for another bass without any hesitation. [/quote]Thanks pal. A great help as usual

Anyone ever bought these. Are they any good or is the price a giveaway to quality? http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_bass_tuner_machine_black_left.htm#bewertung

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1398212386' post='2431782'] No good for me, I'm scared of the dark and spiders. [/quote]ha ha. Nice one centurion. like it, like it!

Voted, was my favourite and had a bit more compositional elements than the others. I enjoyed them all, but a few could have benefited from different sections within them.

It takes me a list of random threads!

Just got the boy, tim higgins and mike bass left to listen to. Will do tomorrow, then vote.

What the f*** is K metering, how do you do it?
