Wonky2

World wide most recognised bass line , allthough ripped from bernard, would have to be another one bites the dust , without question. The simple vocal refeain and its meaning likley transcends most language barriers too. . . The fact it follows the rythem of the bass line makes it rememerable to the most unmusical ludites out there

You'ze guyz!!! Let me slink away into the darkness !!!

Brought up on the two tone scene

Rule no 1) stop buying gear i dont need !!!!! 2) dip toe into upright bass ( disreguarding rule no 1 already) 3) ahhhhh , thats too many rules for wonky

Ive played with many bands over the years, and agree with most of the posts here.... The clear distinction between what we do is A ) is it for fun B ) is it at a professional level ( ie for a wage related pay packet) catagory B is easy and presents little in the way of personal issues as its a job. You learn your skill, turn up on time, take it seriously and most importantly respect the fact that what you do is play a part in a team ..... Not show case your own ego, not show case you speed, tech, gear, thunder thumb etc etc..... You fit in, where you belong and you do what the music requires, no more, no less. Be friendly, help others, consider others parts......... Do this and you (or your band) will be hired again. If all involved follow this mantra it should all go well. Catagory A is harder... Here, fun is the driver (which is great of course) but This is all too easy for all involved to work as a group of individuals, their part being the most important to them, preceeding the music. This only serves to feed frustration of all involved. Volume, sound, restraint (or lack of it) all these things regulary running a mock. I think restraint is the key here and the difference, letting loose is great in the right place but not the whole song or even worse the whole gig! Dont get me wrong, im quite sure many bands who play for kicks do it very well, and are not all happless ego maniacs, but my point is that a certain mentality is required in the approach to what you are doing is required and mire importantly, this MUST be understood by all involved. Thats not easy and takes the finding and pulling together of experienced people....When it is, its likley your fun days of playing will evolve into a more structured, productive "business like" approach..... Promotion to catagory A All that said, playing music should be fun and enjoyable, if its not, your doing it wrong Playing is no longer my main income and as such i wouldnt care much if i didnt get paid any more than covering my expenses, but if the rest of the band were not professional in attitude, well .... Id be loading up and heading home Wonky

Ahhhh the plant. . . Reminded me nicely of a band I used to play in , we played 29 palms, great track..... Ooo I digress, back into the corner for me, where's my pointy hat ?

Hajahahaha now reached hot topic status! If only my for sale adds got this much attention ! Ill class this as my 15 mins of fame, even if i was famous for being a dink Im sure it will pass and someday i can slink quietly away into the darkness of bass chat obscurity.........? Otherwise ill have to change my user name to wonky loggins

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1450613914' post='2934270'] This kind of thing never happened with the original Wonky. [/quote] Another shining example of my net based incompetenance

I love you all you shower of eedyets

Oh no!! Ive done it again bump im an idiot !

Hahaha dad .... Duly noted. Im sure if i responded with enough carfully thought out provocative expleatives and offensives i could make this theead disapear, maybe at the risk of my membership though so i guess ill live with it. Besides, ive been called worst

Hahahaha lol you bunch of bum nuts! I hope Santa brings you nob rot. On crap No ! Ive bump my own stupidity !

Could'nt help but think of the irony that this would help Karlfer's sale of his Nate Mendel bass hahah.. Great bass,great price sure, but there will be some who listen to the message, see the Nate Mendel in Scott's hands, see the Nate Mendel in Karlfer's add and their tiny minds will just WANT.!!! .message received and pow!!! copy cat gas !!!..Hahahah Regardless, Hope it helps Karlfer, it's a really nice bass ,and after all, you can't beat a perfectly time endorsement from a pro like Scott and the message that that bass is every it as good as his custom shop relic pride and joy

Thanks, and sorry.... I'm an idiot. Mods please delete this thread to avoid clutter and embarrassment

Sorted !!!!! The perils of letting your two year old okay ceebeebies on your iPad I guess! Settings, Safari, cookies turned off.

I have no idea what helps hahah switch it on and off is always a good start. It seems related to tge ipad as i cant log into other forums either, fine on phone, no dice on ipad ... I blame the kids.

Nope.... Ive cleared net history incase any cookies or that kind of stuff, clised everything, checked caps, checked passwordsand log in details..... It just spits me back out to "sign in"... It also switches between basic format and "full version" between any refresh of page ? Gremlins ?

Hey guys Im having trouble logging into bass chat, when i do i enter user name and password as normal but it just refreshes the screen with "sign in" intop right corner rather than my ligged in user name? Tried everything ! Im logged in here now as my iphone is always logged in, i dont want to log out here to see if tgats causing the issue for fear of not being able to get back in ? Besides, its never normally caused a problem being logged in here on my phone AND on my ipad ? Any suggestions ?
