stingrayPete1977 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 This could be the new Mystery bassist thread! At least last time we had a picture, can you tell if he is playing a 4 or 5 string bass, class D amp or big Ampegy one, flats or roundwound etc, come on we want clues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Does anyone remember that story of the phantom bassist of Tumbridge Wells? Does he/she only play after midnight on a full moon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Next time he/she practices you should mimic what they play so they think they've got some delay unit plugged in somewhere. It'll drive them nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The couple living in the room nextdoor knocked on my door, very excited to show me something... I got in there and there's porn on the telly... Turns out they were picking it up from the telly of the weird bloke who lived downstairs. I know that things that receive can often become low power repeat transmitters but I'd never seen it happen like that from a video player.

There's a black four string bass (possibly a Jazz) and I'm certain there's a Purple Chili cab next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChick Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 So are they any good? Do you have competition? Maybe you should think of finger breaking plans just in case..... As you don't want to be second best bassist on the block! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you could just turn your amp up to max and play his music at midnight, and then when the other neighbours complain you can say how it was him, as you've been practising quietly for years with no complaints, but this new troublesome bassist turns up and suddenly it's loud low notes. If all these fail.... You could just be their friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clauster Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 During the course of the day, I have realised that getting in the lift to his (or her) floor and saying "I see you play bass. Are you on basschat.co.uk?" would have been a lot quicker As far as I knew, I was the only bass player here, but that's still no guarantee I'm the best And we don't have wheelie bins. We have chutes that send rubbish to the bowels of hell (as far as I know). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 My nearest bass playing neighbour woke me at 0258h this morning. Gonna be hard playing anything with yer head in a sling you *%£#*+- £#%&. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
