BassTractor

Welcome, Saimon! You are indeed not alone. There are several other people here who can imagine being on a bass forum. Enjoy! Bert

Yeah, the chichonera is the gorro de paja to the left of it.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1401374891' post='2462954'] Actually, I didn't... that was the entire pic, or at least the version I copied. Please feel free to post an alternative if you have one. [/quote] Yeah, I assumed as much, but couldn't resist hating censorship. Would have posted the pic already, but my Windows Explorer doesn't work well. But here's a link to one: [url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AQs7OP-s7JE/T_2DCT1tsoI/AAAAAAAAAMc/1zsj_HzMugs/s1600/mens-vintage-hats-1.jpg"]http://2.bp.blogspot...tage-hats-1.jpg[/url]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1401360027' post='2462765'] *Pulls Gorro Catalàn down over face and hides behind sofa* [/quote] You could've spared yourself the pulling down bit if you had used the Gorro Automovilista. But then, you censored that part of the pic.

...or are you underestimating me, or bringing the [i]thing[/i] to possible other readers' attention?

[quote name='Mark Dyer' timestamp='1401350019' post='2462604'] It's an image in my head that will probably never go away. [/quote] Great story! And what a great idea they had, improvising a return of the favour as it were. But ... are you without affection for that image or are you quite fondle of it?

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1401320244' post='2462531'] However the band I play in just got a new guitarist who just happens to own a Wal mk1 lined fretless and he brought it along for me to play a few days ago. Absolutely loved it. Was funny seeing everyone's reaction as I took to it again like riding a bicycle. No one in the band had heard me playing fretless before and couldn't believe the singing notes etc. [/quote] Cool story! Brought a smile on my face. The kids as well as my ex now gather around me and ask for money, and it's all your fault!

Welcome to the surface, mbr! BTW, I like the colour scheme and the tasteful minimalism in your avatar! Enjoy! Bert

A Bongo HH 6 is among the top 1 of my wishlist. I hope to own one someday.

Ah! Had forgotten that. Thanks, RR. Les Coccinelles it is then, or Les Bêtes à bon Dieu. Now there's a name. You could enter the Eurovision song contest, Leschirons! "Les Coccinelles: sept points..."

Welcome, Philobedo! As to your question, you're probably best helped if you ask this in the Amps&Cabs forum within the Gear section. I can't remember having seen a direct comparison, but they are both extensively described there. Also, they are quite different animals in several respects, and you will probably need to hear them. General tendency, I believe, is that the Terror Bass is recognised as a one trick pony with a bloody fantastic trick, whilst the RH450 seems to me to evoke more disagreement. It's certainly more flexible and luxurious, and probably more General Purpose than the Terror Bass. Enjoy the forum! bert

Welcome, you young whippersnapper! Lovely intro you wrote, Richard, or rather: I liked reading it. Enjoy the site, its laughs, its occasional eruptions of knowledge spreadage and the everlasting coldth (should have been a word) between old, smelly me and the discreet one with the brain. best, bert

[quote name='Diablo' timestamp='1401225404' post='2461523'] That would be Le Coquenielles (sp?) would it not? [/quote] Are you maybe thinking of Les Coquilles, as in les maisons spirales des escargots?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1401215047' post='2461356'] Er... isn't that [i]The Beetles[/i]..? [/quote] Couldn't be. I said it had never ever been used before - in any language. However, that is not the good part. The good part is that Leschirons has called himself Leschirons for who knows how long - probably without most of us knowing that a chiron is some type of coléoptère. Impressive as well as funny in my book. Though: I don't know what [b]he[/b] means with the name.

Les Coléoptères, a generic form of Les Chirons, and also never ever used before, in any language.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1401198180' post='2461017'] frequently dropping to his knees, tears rolling down his face with the shear emotion of it all [/quote] [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1401200998' post='2461085'] booting a pig's head [/quote] Please refrain from veering into off-topic, BetaFunk. CamdenRob was talking about sheep. [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1401209230' post='2461225'] You actually went to another village? [/quote] and so true. Me dad was almost killed coz locals thought he was from another village.

John, you only got in before me because I was counting how many times we've welcomed Tom already.

[quote name='Diablo' timestamp='1401088964' post='2459811'] I guess my play on the word "hit" was lost then [/quote] ... which seems strange considering that musicians are statistically overrepresented - both as victims and as the ones paying. So .... is BC really a collection of non-musicians? Twould explain a lot...

I'm aware it's encyclopaedic custom that all concepts in the article are assumed known, but still: What is this ...... "practice" of which you speak? ([b]Somebody[/b] had to volunteer! And all the others took a step back!!! )

Doesn't surprise us. You have already been seen to agree with me, so your dementia is certainly reaching a new stage. From the amount of similar questions, my guess is it's one of the forum software bugs. However, just to be sure: You are aware that the "My Content" function is leaky, and will not show all your content? Also, AFAIK, searching is not fuzzy. It requires the exact string you're looking for (though it will find individual word occurances if your string contains more words). But yeah, still seems to me that this is a bug of its own. I just hope you paid your seven quid twice. (BC needs it, yes?)

Welcome, Rosscoe! Yup, you assume correctly. It's a good place to learn. Yesterday, I learned about the Jacobites. Innersting! Enjoy! Bert

Nice vid of a guy playing along a track and having some fun. He is NOT standing on a stage having certain responsibilites, and we do not know how he would have chosen to play the bass line were he to be in such a position. I liked it.

Sorry, but I don't understand the Buzz. [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] [color=#ffffff].[/color] Or rather: is it a Buzz? Suddenly realised I have no clue. Does sound grand though, and very lovely played too, IMHO. Another thing is that to my noob ears it sounds surprisingly like a fretless StingRay despite what looks like a PJ config. I'm probably wrong.
