[/quote] Current E.C Regulations clearly state that slap solos[u] must [/u]be accompanied by a mandatory mullet hairstyle. This Health and Safety legislation is intended to warn any potential audience that there is the very real risk of unexpected exposure to the 1980's. I cannot help but notice that you are based in the Liverpool area, and therefore there is actually a very real possibility that you are already sporting such a hairstyle, but if for any reason your hairstyle has deviated from the local norm , I would suggest getting extensions at the first possible opportunity to avoid future prosecution . There are orange-coloured women working in hair salons all over the city that will be able to help you with that . (And before anyone gets offended, can I just add the disclaimer that mullets are also available in other cities across Britain.) EDIT: I found this clip on You Tube of a young bass player complying with all the current dress code and male grooming regulations regarding overly self-indulgent bass guitar playing : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFFQwYMZ40U Role model/ hair model .

Dingus Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Essex =mullet central ! Essex was also a hotbed of would-be fancy Dan bass players back in the day, probably due to the enduring popularity of funk ,soul and R&B music in that part of the world. I can see now how you probably couldn't help yourself and those triplets just spontaneously and involuntarily cascaded from your thumb. Secondary schools in Essex probably offer a G.C.S.E in Level 42, Bass player from Essex = slap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the boy Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1392671200' post='2371511'] Never mind apologising to your fellow bass players, it's the married couple you should be asking for forgiveness. Everybody knows a marriage needs a strong foundation if it going to work , and that foundation is built on a good , solid no-frills bass line . If that marriage fails somewhere in the future then it may well be that your fancy finger work was the beginning of the end for them . Slapping and false harmonics are two of the most commonly cited reasons for divorce in Britain nowadays. Fact. [/quote] Marriage is very like basing playing. A bit of harmony never goes amiss, however sometimes the only answer is a good slap when she's overfretting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
