Ou7shined Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1342638226' post='1738533'] Why on earth would anybody find the thread confusing? [/quote] [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1342638226' post='1738533'] The only people I can see that were rude in this thread were the various people who seemed to think that it was a competition & questioned the OP about the prize. I think you & the other people were pretty damn rude about the OP's motives for the thread, especially as he's a newcomer. Quite frankly I think you've got a bloody nerve talking about the forum being friendly & civil after the way you reacted to the thread, which only a complete idiot would have thought was a competition in the first place. [/quote] I guess some of us complete idiots (as you put it) managed to confused the phrase "[i]may win a prize[/i]" with "[i]you won't win a prize, I was only joking.... but let's have a look at what you could have won... we have distributors near you[/i]". Sort of thread happens all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Looks like some people are taking things too seriously here. I don't think the OP has done anything out of place here except perhaps be a little sensitive to peoples reactions. A few have jumped in to follow to try and make a big scene, seen it all before I'm afraid. I would appreciate it if the bickering stopped (from all parties). Any issues drop me a PM, thanks.

Eljay Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ummm..Here's a picture of a cute Kitty. Shall we discuss him then?? English humour. I really REALLY hope I can work booking a 2-week tour in England. I'm trying with an Agent here, lots of details as you might imagine. We're not rawkstars, just a bumpin' 3-piece R&B Rhythm Section backing an outstanding Vocalist, doing OUTSTANDING old/new school covers. Some of youse would prolly like it. Then: In no particular Order: I would [u]GIVE AWAY[/u] Bass-Guitar straps for all my new friends from English TalkbassChat! we could all have a pint at the local; I could laugh-make that WE could all laugh at the ridiculous nonsensical assumptions and posts-counter posts made here. So much fun on the Web! Maybe there's a Croatian BassChat, and an Abdjerdejebian (sp?) BassChat, etc. (Some of) YOUSE guys. haha 'Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eljay Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 [b] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/1194-ou7shined/"]Ou7shined[/url]- Yes the people liked me, and I in turn liked them back. For you see, when on talks IN PERSON, face-to-face, one cannot make inane internet comments, like" AHHA you DO sell these straps! Gotcha!"[/b] Yes I do, to Retailers, in the United States. I'm proud of the work I represent, but the motive was not to advertise this product, it was encompassed in a thread which was a lark, and a discourse on the discontinued Gretsch SpectraSonic which is/was a great bass guitar. I don't GET you and the others that flew of the broom with this nonsense. Buzzkill; un-necessary stuff. But to each their ZOne. I still think England was one of the BEST travel experiences I;'ve had, and there have been many. As stated, I do wish to return and am trying to enfold a visit with a series of gigs. That would be cool. My Vocalist is beyond belief, and altho he probably won't tour with us, the guitarist in my project is high-profile, having worked with Diana Ross and Rod Stewart among others. Schweet. (Is that from Eton too?) Hope to see youse all soon. I did not get a chance to interface with the Bass Shops when I was over; I planned to go to Bass Centre I think it was, but my lady at the time was pulling me to the Tower of London, Harrods, all over the beautiful place. Killer Castles; Killer people. OK- Here' a pic of another bass- I DEFY anyone here to tell me WHAT exactly it is... Hawhaw Hint- NONE Prize: NONE WHATSOEVER Good Luck to us all!

Gust0o Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have got a new game. The prize is a strap, not available to anywhere in the world. Here's the question: "What nationality is our old jock mate Ou7shined?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Psst, Eljay. Ima give you a clue, cos I like the cut of your gib. He's not English. Don't tell the others I told you, or I'll go all Congress of Vienna on you, ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eljay Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Your jock mate it appears would be from Aberdeen, Scotland. That might explain a lot. Or not. I have lots of straps, you can keep your prize. Groucho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eljay Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) [i][b]But no such model exists...[/b][/i] However good eyes there, Roland Rock. Except the color is SeaFoam, not aqua. It's a Dano PRO Guitar body that was bench-fitted to a Dano Bass neck. Unless someone else did this, it's a one and only. It's been professionally set-up, has great low action and perfect intonation; to me it looks so bad it's GOOD. How does it play you ask?? Sounds like a Dano; that's a good thing. It would seem there are those who go into massive uproars and convulsions when I made the mere mention of being happy to rep a USA-made strap line. So you must note that I offered no strap-prize with this one. Good job though Roland, you know your Dano's; even models that never were. Here Now. tell me what we got here....
