. Twas surely well done to apologise, homer, but why immediately continue with a post that essentially says that you are right and the others wrong, only to finish it off with: [quote name='niceguyhomer' timestamp='1360672446' post='1974245'] there’s a small group of idiots (not you Bilbo) who drag this place down to the point where it’s just not worth taking part anymore [/quote] I don't get this way of proceeding. In fact, i feel it's another attempt at putting yourself in the right, and without having an open dialogue. Should we all guess whether it's us? What have the idiots done to drag the place down? What can be done to reverse this process? As you and I never had any contact or dispute as far as I know, allow me to come with an observation as a bystander: For at least half a year, but probably longer, your messages have come across to me as frustrated and aggressive - not as constructive towards the level of communication on here. So in my mind, your have been contributing to the downslide your describe, not trying to hinder it. A farewell is helping nobody. If you have enjoyed BC previously, and I assume you have, then please stay and be a part of the solution. best regards, bert edit: spelingue

Leen, I'll take the soon available shredder spot.

Yeah, farewell! In the unlikely case you do manage to return: Welcome back! Partake in the banter and in the occasional exchange of info, and generally enjoy! best, bert

Hey Houn, Welcome! In my 1.3 years as a future bass player, and a couple of decades as a bass lover, I've never even heard about the DiPintos. Any good? Don't be shy, and feel welcome to show us a pic of it. Also, please share some knowledge and some stories from your couple of decades. Enjoy the site! best, bert

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1360606280' post='1973257'] Indeed they are excellent - but sound not like a Stingray at all. [/quote] Some people on the MM forum wrote that the single H Bongo is like a bigger, fatter, rounder single H StingRay, and still in StingRay territory. Would you agree with such a description? BTW, pics of the Women, Dr T, or it didn't happen. best, bert

Hey Steve, Air! Finally air! Welcome to the surface. However did you manage indeed. Anyway, I hope you'll thrive among those that float. Sorry you'd go for Music Man. Not very good that stuff. But we do need to see that Pangborn indeed. Yes thanks for that pic. Enjoy! best, bert

Hallo Gilberto Welkom op BassChat! Je hebt leuke dingen in die lijst: MB, SWR, P, J, TNT, J5 ... wauw! Eksplosief, hoor! Ik hoop dat je het hier leuk vindt. Heel aardige mensen hier, dus dat zal wel lukken. Garoets! besto, berto

Hey man, Welcome! Enjoy your stay, and share your knowledge with the noobs please. best, bert

,olleH

Ah. Thanks. Never mind then. Didn't like that low frequency anyway. BTW, twas too tachy/glossi as well. (Thanks, Wikipedia!)

Is your hedhegog vulva for sale?

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1360353765' post='1969303'] I don't go in for all this muscle memory stuff, it's just the brain. [/quote] Of course! I've known that forevaaah. I thought. ... and what happened two or three days ago? Some or other scientific report seems to indicate that they've now found some or other form of memory in ... wait for it ... our muscles! Not that I'd just easily accept that that would explain musicians' abilities, but at least it would be interesting to read more about it. best, bert

... and details, please?

Pics, please?

[quote name='afterimage' timestamp='1360442347' post='1970612'] North west. [/quote] Have a look at a map, you effing Scouser! best, bert

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1360441314' post='1970601'] It's superb. [/quote] Do you mean to say it can sound like a StingRay, or that it will fulfil the Ray's functionality? Or? That, and did you really have to say that just two (2) days after I received my expensive Ray 5 fretless? best, bert

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1360438024' post='1970553'] I've just purchased one of these... il let you all know how I get on with it. [/quote] I have one, and I can predict your future: you'll be thinking it would have been nice if it had been a bit smaller, but will be chuffed again when thinking about the price you paid for what's basically a nice bag. It's not me. It's the stars that guide me. best, bert

Impossible! It was the best one on here! best, bert

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1360437429' post='1970535'] I strongly suspect that the character you allude to did not even originate from Europe, actually... [/quote] Based on his name, my guess would be Swedish or Finnish father and Swedish, Finnish or South american mother. best, bert

Hey Darren, Welcome from a noob. Yeah, great you could boost the contingent from the North East, as I think all 6,385 of us North Easteners will agree. I'm just North East from you, actually. I'll call you for a pint. Enjoy the site and share some wisdom. best, bert

[quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1360401984' post='1969761'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Norwegian Wood. Wasn't that a Beatles song? [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] But I don't think they [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]mentioned a fongerboard. [/color][/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828] [/color][/font] [/quote] I can't understand why people always go ballistic over simple typing mistakes. Look at your keyboard! These are almost adjacent keys! OF COURSE he meant "funkerboard"! best, bert

I presume we're on different tracks here, coz I still don't exactly get what you are and are not talking about. Right now I get the impression it's about improving the playing quality on a track you do already know. In case, I agree with you on that as well. I realise there are many fine lines here as to what one talks about. Anyway, best, bert

Same here: no guilt and no embarrassment, but I should be able to find some bands that some people wouldn't understand my love for. OK, how about the following three bands: Ekseption, Sex Pistols, Spice Girls (first album), Carpenters. uh ... I'll come in again. best, bert

[quote name='koha' timestamp='1358589101' post='1941687'] How much this used Samick fretless is worth? [/quote] That one is a very rare Limited Edition. They go for between 17,000 and 19,000 Euro, normally.

[quote name='clashcityrocker' timestamp='1360354739' post='1969349'] I have a mm sterling (bit different but..) and a fender jazz,I would say the sterling is 10 times better in every way than the jazz. I think MM are just in a different league,get another stingray,in a different as not to offend the memory of your old one [/quote] I have no opinion on that. Just wanted to say you have among the coolest interests I've seen on here. best, bert
