iconic Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) I used to really like something their stuff, can't speak Welsh but hey good grooves and basslines though...I even bought Nid Hywadd ....this is some strange looking bass, sounds great to me though! ....looks very active with two very large pups...with Jaguar looking body, but Aria head....it must be pre-'89 though. close up at 1:14 onwards.....sounds like a fretless...with cheater lines [media]FlhA5R0s4oE[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlhA5R0s4oE&feature=related[/media] Edited October 7, 2011 by iconic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sime17 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Being actually proper Welsh and that, I can confirm that Welsh the language doesn't really exist - it's just gibberish they're making up on the spot purely to be annoying. Particularly north walians. Even my dad pretends to speak it from time to time and other people pretend to understand. That being said, I'd like to watch the clip to try and i.d. the bass but I fear I'd become mortally embarrassed by it. From bitter personal experience it appears that Welsh language tv (it's gibberish remember) would actually let a monkey on if it pretended to be speaking Welsh. PLEASE don't think that people in Wales actually watch this stuff and think it's good. FFS my tax has gone into making that. And I can say this cos I am Welsh. AND I don't even like rugby. Go figure. Anyway, what was the question? Edited October 8, 2011 by sime17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sime17 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Not as far as I know sir - but the man's clearly a genius so compliment duly accepted BTW - having now read the op a bit more I can see he liked the clip so please excuse my cynicism - I still haven't had the heart to watch it and therefore I'm unable to judge exactly how guilty I should feel for my scorn-pouring- but I will just say that if it's good then it was probably in the minority on S4C that particular evening. Most of the channel is exactly like watching the 'channel 9' bits on the Fast Show, just without the suntans and Chris Woddle references. I'm genuinely horrified to think what people accidentally tuning-in to some of it must think of us .

xgsjx Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I've just watched that video! I bet the 2 blokes standing playing bits of wood & gabbering gibberish would love to deny the existence of this clip! Sime17, your country is not alone. Us up here have a made up language for winding up tourists (& English types). I believe Ireland, Yorkshire & Cornwall have similar gobildygook too (although I'm led to believe Yorkies & Cornettos try to speak it to one another too). Back on topic, that is a pretty good bassline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime17 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I knew you guys'd understand - I've seen BBC Alba too ! To their credit - I don't think the Yorkshire and Cornish types have taken the extreme measure of dedicating a whole tv channel to gibberish. Yet. Still can't bring myself to watch the clip....

CPBassman Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Sime17. I can hardly believe what I'm reading. I wont use this medium to discuss the ups and downs of being Welsh. However, I think its important that other forum members are fully aware that not all us Welsh people have such an inferiority complex and negative view of our wonderful country and language.

sime17 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 ... C'mon Col, I'm only kidding! Ok. It's [i]not [/i]gibberish. Did we just hijack the thread btw ? Sorry everyone! No really - what's the emoticon for 'a bit embarrassed'? yours self-depracatingly, Sime PS: Still haven't watched the clip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilby Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Think Jah Wobble uses one of these ovations. (that's an artist I'd almost forgotten about. Anyone know if he's still busy being odd?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmachine2112 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Puss is as auld as the hills,yer puss has a geggie as well. "Shut yer Puss" is simply "shut your mouth cause I can smell effluent emminating from your mouth" Economy of words and straight to the point.
