[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1344718199' post='1768438'] Really? Gosh. [/quote] Uh oh I'm in trouble...

I would like to apologise for my previous statement that I wouldn't miss any mods if they died tomorrow. This was insulting and against forum rules. I am also sorry for my multiple rule breaking in previous posts. I fully expect to be banned, if not worse, but at least Gust0o will miss me

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1344707890' post='1768261'] Well, in a word, yes. [/quote] Really! OK, I'll miss you too then (whoever you are) [quote][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Lovely as a PM, maybe not quite so lovely as an open post. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [/quote] Seems you are right Skank - I've just had a severe reprimand from HQ, threatening me with suspension for insulting the gods. In the interest of clarity and before I go: I was just being honest and I saw no reason to keep it private, but I apologise if my post insulted, upset or hurt anyone. I don't know any mods personally and I've had no interaction with any apart from a couple of times, when I've found them arrogant and sarcastic. I'm sure there are lots of lovely mods too, but I would be lying if I said I'd miss them if they died tomorrow (except my new mod friend of course). There are very few people on this forum (or the entire planet) that I would miss actually and I doubt I'm alone in that. There's maybe a handful of members that I would miss - the ones who make me laugh, the ones I've met in 'real life' and the ones who have helped me in various ways. None of them happen to be mods. This does not mean I wish death on anyone, just that I wouldn't miss them and there is absolutely nothing insulting about that. If honesty gets you banned, then so be it.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1344706730' post='1768240'] Yeah pretty harsh, you might like to rephrase that, Redstriper. [/quote] Why - would they miss me?

Wayne, you are the people's hero and you don't need a badge to prove it. I wouldn't miss any of the mods if they died tomorrow, but there are plenty of regular members that I would miss and you are one of them. Many's the time you have brightened my day with your humour and I'm aware of your good deeds too. I still miss OldGit, especially at this time of year. Keep smiling Wayne and don't let the bastudz get you down.

Mods come and go, but Basschat is nothing without it's members.

Never heard of him before or any of his music, but he seems a nice chap.

If you want some reggae bass lines: [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/ALIONBASS?feature=watch"]http://www.youtube.com/user/ALIONBASS?feature=watch[/url]

They're just samples, not the full songs - as one reviewer put it: [quote][color=#333333][font=Arial,]What an absolute waste of time - not even worth downloading for free. A complete wind up as none of the songs last any length of time. On top of that a VERY annoying American-accented voiceover purporting to "educate" the listener. What was the point of this apart from irritating me?[/font][/color][/quote]

You can spend a lot of money replacing pick ups with no guarantee that you will prefer the sound. String type, EQ and playing style can change the tone as much if not more. Just saying....

Why do you want to replace the stock pick ups?

Yeh - you look so cool, I'm off to get a cheap suit and tie - fame here we come!

[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1343684571' post='1753782'] That is the bare minimum that is required of a remote seller under Directive 97/7/EC - the primary legislation for which the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (SI 2000 No 2334) is the UK Parliament's implementation. A seller would have to be outperforming the minimum duty placed on it by law before I'd think about complimenting its customer service. [/quote] I thought this legislation allowed 7 days for cancellation not 30 and that return postage costs are not automatically covered. This would mean that Thomman are outperforming their legal minimum duty by a considerable margin.

Great bands (or solo artists) are great whatever they look like or whatever clothes they wear.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1343668149' post='1753429'] Hilarious. I think this is where many musicians don't give their bands a chance, they have an over-inflated sense of the worth and uniqueness of their own music, and a lack of understanding of what audiences usually want in their genre. [/quote] And you think dressing up will fix that?

Some blind people enjoy music too and some blind musicians do quite well.

Sorry, but I don't agree - Dick looks like a Dick and I prefer the look of the other band where you can at least have a game of darts if the music's boring Just kidding - no offence meant to Dick, I'm sure he's a lovely boy.

I have always found their service excellent, they offer a no question 30 day money back guarantee, which I have used and they collected the item free and gave a refund on receipt, after checking it was in original condition. Any experience of rudeness and bad service will obviously colour your personal opinion, as will reading a few negative posts on here, but they also have thousands of happy return customers.
