Kev

hey dude, nice to see a good introduction

hey man get the amp sorted!

flea is a brilliant bassist, but he certainly does not see himself as being one of the best. he's just a guy doin what he loves, and couldnt care less what other musicians thought of him. its a shame that he is hyped up to be the best, but then again, i far prefer his playin to the likes of wootnen, he doesnt overcomplicate thing, and has wrote some superb, if not simple bass lines

iv got a feeling alot of pickle pie B's are gunna be sold, it does sound quite supreme to anythin else iv heard in a long while

higgie id like to have sex with your DJ4

doesnt sound too shabby at all

i love the 81 p

i second the recommendation of the B2 since your askin about effects, im guessin that a compressor will not be what your after, as youl probably want something a bit more 'effect' like for your money?? overdrive would be a must for me, be it subtle or balls to the wall, and certainly needed if your playin rhcp or green day stuff i would think you say you dont want wah, any reason?

very subtle

il have the rotosounds if possible, and perhaps the la bella slappers,. please!

last one i taught myself was stayin alive funky stuff

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='186361' date='Apr 27 2008, 11:02 AM']Wonderful playing - I actually watched it all and that is unusual for that sort of gig. I dont think it would have gone down very well had I played it at the Empire Club last night though. Nor any other Ferrets gig I have ever done. Lots of this stuff on poo tube comes from gigs like that. Had it been at Wembly it might have more credibility for non bass geeks. [b]I think what it comes down to is there are two kinds of people on basschat (excluding Mrs T who is in a class of her own). Bass geeks and bass players and I doubt if the two will ever agree on stuff like this.[/b][/quote] very true personally i just dont appreciate all the complex techniques, coz basically it just doesnt appeal to me, for me nothing beats good old fashioned playing

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='186345' date='Apr 27 2008, 10:37 AM']not exactly well argued points, but whilst I don't agree with you on the double slap thing being "rubbish" (as it is incredibly skilful - can you do it?), i subscribe to Oscar South's views that he is an amazing musician and his arrangements are incredible. Slapping aside, if you haven’t watched or heard him playing Norwegian Wood then check it out. Edit: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9a4ThBNacY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9a4ThBNacY[/url] - that was at Bass Day '98[/quote] i didnt say it was rubbish, i said it sounded rubbish it is indeed skillful, and i can only do it slowly, but its not something i want to perfect as i just dont think it sound good! IMO

b seems to sound lovely, but the bridge is interesting, with those possibly troublesome grooves...

okay, but what about new members that join solely to post a link to something they are selling on ebay, which has happened a couple of times lately? and i mean in the classifieds, not in the ebay links section? i do get your point about it being good that more stuff could be bought, but i cant see many people joining up to a forum ,to sell something for a bargain. but meh, majority appear to have no problem with n00b sales, so looks like changing things would cause more problems i guess
