BassTractor Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hey Bassic, Welcome! Yup, this site is huge and large and big. Also, it contains livestock that will happily hear you tell about your previous bass life and discuss with you how fantastic Bullets are (or not - Idunno) Many people (not me) here have had long sabbaticals, so you're not alone. Enjoy the site! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Welcome Bassic! I've been here for about 2 years and I've learnt more about bass playing and equipment that I ever did in my previous 7 years of plank spankin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastnotleast Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Welcome. A student of Jamerson - excellent even if you mean the whiskey (although I prefer Kilbeggan). Our stories are similar in that I was on sabbatical until last summer except this is the first time for bass. This [i]is[/i] a great site with tons of quality info but, even more importantly to me, tons of quality people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Hey! That's [b][i]protestant[/i][/b] whiskey! (before someone corrects me: look at the history of both that and Bushmills) BTW, kudos to Bassic for the login name find. Would've expected that to have been taken long ago. Some people are able, aren't they? best, bert Edited January 4, 2013 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever tasted their Quinta Ruban? This may explain my proclivity for these beverages as I am of Scots-Irish descent and presbyterian (more or less).

IMS, according to a web thing I read, Jamesons started out as a protestant whiskey, as the old man was a protestant himself. But it's made in a Roman Catholic area, and is most often called the Catholic whiskey. Bushmills' story is exactly the opposite Don't know Kilbeggan. Might give it a try. Glenmorangie is not a whiskey. It is however a fantastic whisky brand, where even their cheapish "Original" is a very, very good whisky. That and their very expensive stuff. Now to keep this On Topic: Anyone ever tasted Bassic or Bullet? How was it? best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Judging by its title, I thought this thread was going to be an exciting anecdote about how you were shot, then treated the wound yourself so as not to get the authorities involved. I think we deserve the whole story, really. Out with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassic Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks for the great welcome everyone I also thought my login name would have been used yrs ago Definitely a fan of both Motown legend and whiskey wherever it comes from ha ha As for digging out bullets, other than the Korean version from my loft I live in sunny Gloucestershire were you would do well to stub your toe Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
