If I could play that it would definitely get me off in a sexual way. Thats why I play naked. I can jump straight into the shower afterwards.

Welcome Simon. I've always fancied owning a bookshop - although I don't read books. Welcome to the forum.

What's wrong with a paddling pool, 10litres of baby oil and some wrestling masks at the next BassBash?* Now that's a competition. *(hopefully I'll be invited this time).

Welcome Augh-nuto. Good to have some more non-UK members.

Yeah, that is a problem. I've found some brands "flatten" quicker than others, with Fender SuperBass strings being the worse offenders. As for the intonation issues, I've always put it down to my lousy playing.

My issue with trying new strings is that I hate the sound of all strings for the first few months. Because of this, the three basses that I own all have their original strings on them. The only thing that would make me change would be breaking a string. I might start a second hand string donation thread.

Welcome.

Was good to meet you Stuart. The journey only took me an hour in the 'Chief mobil. That baby sure does fly with the wind on her back!

Its quite a simple equation: Warwick = C*** (edited by me to cause less offence and warned. The burpster)

I hate their very existence. Small bodied, long necked, ugly pieces of wood, usually in the hands of mulleted, German session musicians, who split they're time between World of Warcraft and fetish clubs... OR.. Played my long haired geeks, who are still trying to upset their middle class parents at 35 years of age playing in "metal" bands to rapidly decreasing audiences, who also split their time between World of Warcraft and fetish clubs.... OR.. People who just like the sound of them and enjoy playing them.

Thank God J is back in front. I try and play a P every once in a while because I'd love to like them, but they always feel like dogsh1t in my hands. ......but at least they're not German and made of driftwood.

Welcome Fred. Unfortunately I never got to take my Tax exams - the Falklands conflict broke out and I was dispatched with the rest of 2 Para. Congratulations though, and welcome to the forum.

Welcome. South Staffordshire is my spiritual home.

[quote name='BassBalls' post='191563' date='May 4 2008, 01:18 PM']Im from Swanley in Kent, can i join?[/quote] I'll think about. It concerns me that you're slightly too far North and your profile states you live in 2 locations.

What email adress is it from? I'll send them an email accepting and I'll try to sus it out. I love having fun with these guys. I managed to get one of these clowns to promise me first dibs on an "unnatural sex act" with his sister the other week!

You're from West Kent. That means you can join me and Clauster in the Double-Hard Bastards club. Rock on.

[quote name='Jase' post='191412' date='May 4 2008, 12:33 AM']Anything of ACDC is worth learning/listening to. It is the law in all forms of bass playing,[/quote] Not just bass playing. Life in general. When confronted with any of lifes big decisions, I ask myself "what would Bon Scott do". I then go and get pissed and have a kip in a friends car.

[quote name='Doc B' post='191072' date='May 3 2008, 09:17 AM']from reading the I Hate/I love jazz threads it would seem that Jazz is for the more discerning, intellectual player and the P is for the true 4 string dullard - 1 pup, 2 knobs, nothing too complicated [/quote] Not for everyone. I'm a J man, but far from intellectual.

Who's the pr1ck in the dress?? Hate these c*nts who try so hard to be quirky. We should be waterboarding them, not the shoe bombers.

It makes you a sleazy active top into WS, hard sports, red, brown, yellow, O&A without, to completion.

I like sh*t gear. I'm a sh*t bass player. I'd feel a c*nt playing anything to flash. I'm also def as a post, so my Carlsbro combo sounds much like an Ampeg.

A fat neck makes me feel inadequate when I go for a slash after playing. A J makes me feel slightly better about myself.
