    My wife treats me like a god. She takes very little notice of my existence until she wants something

    [quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1428833504' post='2744921'] I just say "Thankyou, I'm glad you've enjoyed" I'm another that doesn't take compliments too well!! You can always tell when it's a general punter or a muso punter... The muso punters always mention the fretless! [/quote] that ^^ The singer in my Kate Bush band gets the "You sang that better than KB herself!" quite often, but the other night I was told "You played better than John Giblin himself" which I cannot believe for a second.....ok just a second or two then Of course my unassuming bassist brain soon reminded me that 'better' is a relative term, peculiar to the beholder, and is easily swayed by 'alcohol'

    Hi, for sale here is a Squier jazz that you may have seen before, this used to belong to StingrayPete of this very parish, ive just got too many basses now having acquired a tasty Ibanez fretless the other day and this just isn't getting played as I spend all my time on my gig basses. Im going to put a link up here to Petes original thread as he described the bass better than I can. Im after what I paid, which is £275 posted. The bass is just as it was when I got it, except ive raised the very low action a bit to cater for my slightly clumsier playing style. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210670-squier-jazz-bass-with-loads-of-tasty-mods-sold/page__p__2129019__hl__jazz__fromsearch__1#entry2129019"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2129019[/url] Bass is near Axminster if anyone wants to collect. cheers,

    Panic At The Disco were so named when founder member Brendan Urie realised he had forgotten to 'water' down his orange squash drink with vodka at his yearly school celebration

    [quote name='alittlebitrobot' timestamp='1427710920' post='2733211'] I wonder how low he's willing to go. [/quote] Low enough to entertain buying and selling the abomination in the first place. It should be carefully cleaned, placed in a glass case and then tied to several tonnes of masonry and dropped into the deepest part of the drink, never to rise again

    Not last night but the night before at Manchester academy was an excellent gig, we went back to just us and the music as the projector for the visuals broke down, which made it much more Good old Rock 'n' Roll ( as much as KB can be anyway ) But it was the crowd that made it, what a bunch! We shall definitely be coming back. Similarly, Sheffield o2 the night before. many thanks to the gig goers of both cities **obligatory gratuitous hairy bass player foto included** [URL=http://s392.photobucket.com/user/sprocketflup/media/11080318_844121332301737_5508606652925783960_o_zpswdg5tscp.jpg.html][IMG]http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/pp4/sprocketflup/11080318_844121332301737_5508606652925783960_o_zpswdg5tscp.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1427193866' post='2726882'] Going to try to get down to see your show at Rescue Rooms in Nottingham in May. Partial to a bit of Bush now and again. [/quote] Hi mate, yeah we all like a bit of Bush Be sure to come over after the gig and say hi

    Not bad. The Tepid Chili Peppers also has a nice feel to it IMO

    [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1426868437' post='2722956'] The Red hot chilli peppers aren't. They all have a normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees F. [/quote] Which is quite warm for a vegetable. Specially one straight out the fridge
