31 votes out of over 26,000 members, WTF? [size=4] I really don't get it. Ban everyone that doesn't vote, that should do it. [/size] [size=4] [/size][size=4]Sorry, rant over. [/size] [size=4]Well done Skol. Another cracker. [/size]

This month's contributions has made it the most difficult for me to decide on so far. Just outstanding chaps, the rest of basschat don't know what they are missing. The talent shown here makes me so proud to be a member of this forum. I think Bilbo summed it up for me when he said that he had paid good money for lesser work. I wish I could give you all a vote. I'm already looking forward to next month's selection. Keep up the great work guys.

It sounds to me like your are not being assertive enough and are being taken for a ride by your band mates. Have you tried to put your point of view across or do you let them walk all over you. The whole band should be making an equal contribution to expenses and then any profits split up. Do you have any say in the writing of the material or do they look on you as a easily replaced item. If you do not have an equal input to the band and are unhappy with this, then walk away. If you are happy to take the crap because you think it's worth it, try to at least get some money back for all your time and effort keeping this selfish lot on the road. Good luck, sounds like you need it.

Main stream newspaper give praise to bass, who'd have thunk it. [url="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/29/lets-raise-glass-to-bass"]http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/29/lets-raise-glass-to-bass[/url]

Done. Good luck.

Great review, good looking bass. Nice to see Martin Turner's name crop up too.

A guitarist with a brain, well, who would have thought that. [size=4] [/size]

Daz speaks the truth. I remember my first new bass day almost 45 years ago.You may go on to buy many new basses but the first one will always have a special place in your heart if you bond with it. Never sell it, you will regret it. Nice bass btw.

Sorry Mr Foxen, I thought you said Ross Kemp, I was thinking of a bald bloke running away when the music got heavy Back on topic, Rick is a great player and a gent, met him years ago before a Steeleye Span gig in Glasgow and was a top bloke. Great bassist.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1369428532' post='2089304'] Its definitely not Prince is it? [/quote] Nah,too tall. Cracking player though.

Nice one Clarky, will give it a listen on t'internet.

Mary had a little pig It would not stop it's grunting She took in the shed one day and kicked it's f@*king c**t in. Use with caution.

That's a great track and video, well done that man.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1369007713' post='2083971'] Having trawled the TB thread to save anyone else the trouble of so doing, I may confidently report the following: * Many respondents seem to espouse the neutral 'pointless question / apples and oranges / so what?' thing. * Others rate Mr Beauford as a drummer with superior all-round technique while acknowledging Mr Bonham's legendary thunderousness. Zero controversy, lamentable lack of 'Go USA', etc. Pretty much as one might expect were such an anodyne thread to originate here on BC, except that the TB-ers are familiar with Mr Beauford and his work with The Dave Matthews Band ([i]who he?[/i]), whereas most BC-ers are not. 'Zepheads' may sleep soundly tonight. No-one in their right mind would give a f**k. [color=#FFFFFF].[/color] [/quote] This.

[quote name='Junkyard Rocket' timestamp='1369006650' post='2083965'] if they were any good Rog & Riley wouldn't have flogged them off. [/quote] Wrong. The guys that put them up for sale would know that the history of them would bump the price up. They will likely get a cut of the sale price.The feel of them might not be right for you or me but their ownership makes them special.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1369003372' post='2083946'] He's a technically brilliant drummer whose artistic achievements pale into insignificance compared to those of John Bonham . [/quote] And this.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1369001258' post='2083920'] One more of many reasons to prefer BC to TC; BC leaves TC in the shade. Any other dumb stuff, whilst we're here..? Beau Brummel v Scarlet Pimpernel..? Boadicea v Maggie Thatcher..? Dinky v Corgi..? No offence, but some questions just beg a certain response. Sorry, Leroy.

I peaked too early once, she never went out with me again.

Not sure if I want to see you "package", just want to listen to the tracks. [size=4] [/size]

Get the tracks up asap, I love to hear new stuff from Basschatters. There's so much talent on this site.

Jeff Healey used to play Squier Strats, his manager told him they were Fender Custom Shop tho'. [size=4] [/size]
