Whatever is going on?

Pino interviewed on the One Show on Friday by a girl who clearly "gets it" and was picking up on some specific phrasing etc.

Now this morning on Sunday Sequence on Radio Ulster, the reporter (rather than simply ignoring a text from an anorak), read out said text question "ref the new Dallas TV theme tune - why have they replaced the slap bass in the intro with drums instead?"

Crikey. Bass guitar is soon going to be like TCP/IP networking 20 years ago. All of a sudden your girlfriend asks you an "informed" question about something you thought no normal person would have heard of and you think "what?!?".

there is a slight flaw in your logic <_<

you have assumed that the slap bass versus drum part enquirer to the show was a 'member of public'

by the same logic couldn't we also assume that the aforementioned member of public is a basschat forum member who was covertly posting a sl*p question for the titillation and general amusement of fellow bass players ? ;)

The "girl" who clearly gets it is a professional singer.

...and she and her husband just happen to be two of the leading vocal coaches in the country. Or is it just an illusion? :rolleyes:

At this rate we'll soon see famous bassists being given a country's highest honour in recognition of their contribution to music.

Er, hang on . . . . . [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19532151"]http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-19532151[/url]

Nope. Nothing in there about him being a bass payer. Think he played piano at the Olympics. ;)

John Taylor (Nigel ) of Duran Duran was on Loose women this afternoon plugging his new book , he did not actually mention bass guitar during the interview , the loose women seemed more interested in the drugs and sex .
Watched the Pino clip on the one show , great stuff , lovely old fretless Musicman and the delicious Mrs Grant .
