That didn’t show @BassAgent i speak German, French and small bits of other languages such as Czech, Irish and italian It’s a brave thing to venture your language skills outside your comfort zone, I’ve had to do that myself and I know how it feels I worked with this German lady, married to an Englishman with English speaking kids, working as a translator and she regularly made major mistakes it really isn’t easy and as speakers of a weltsprach, we lose sight of it

View this through the lens of someone who natively speaks another language and you will realise how weird and alarmingly contextual English is. It’s a really hard language to master we have a huge advantage in learning it as children

Tc electronic bh250 has headphone socket and aux in. Ridiculously loud when connected to a cab 👍

Just chill, given that it is arguable whether jk is jamiroquai or merely a member, and so therefore your prior use of “is” or “are” depends on your point of view. To leverage the Turing test, if you can exchange messages with someone who speaks your native language as well as you do, they have truly arrived in linguistic competency

To be fair, it’s really hard to tell that from reading your output. Your few mistakes are ones that English native speakers from some regions also make I have IELTS grade 9 and I notice things like that

My teacher told me that my automatic choice of leading finger was leading me to swing time. He was 100% right i now lead with my middle finger

I point you to the work of Duck Dunn, watch the two Blues Brothers movies and you can see a groove genius at work - his work is simpler to learn than James Jamersons and more groove than funky imho. before I get flamed, I hugely admire both of them

I’ve never left it, but with your last paragraph you are straying to The Dark Side and I urge you to avoid it like the plague Yoda would be proud, stick to the righteous path of bass, avoid the six string w**kery

They’re quite good enough for me and so very quiet. Result

It’s not about being a people pleaser, you’re being a bassist-pleaser and supplying us with valve-porn. It is righteous work

I did however check it myself regarding the thread “make up a lie about the previous poster”, I suggest that you avoid reading it if you value your sanity. it is here - I suggest that you might need a large shot of Stroh’s Inlander Rum 80% to make it through the full 41 pages

@ghostwheel @Richard R refers to my characterisation of him as “stig of the dump” a caveman who learns to speak English through association with a modern human boy. The phrase “modern human boy” obviously excludes most bass chat members who are mostly boys,only slightly human and definitely not “boys” any more this all comes from an old basschat thread where the game was to humoursly insult a fellow member who had recently replied
