Oh bollards, I put Sir first time and quickly changed it, no point changing it back, I’ve already pi55ed in my chips.

You, Madam, have class.

How odd, I was just going to comment that Joe Morello’s solo in Take Five is one of the very few enjoyable drum solos... ...in fact Joe M takes more than one solo during these four songs and they are all inventive and interesting...

I want to take down the entire Wikipedia entry for Jazz and replace it with...

There might be huge technical ‘evidence’ as to why one ‘thing’ (wood, pedal, make, mode, bass) is better than another but in the end I think the majority of people make their decisions according to something far more mysterious, the vibe or the feeling they get from whatever ‘thing’ it is. There are endless threads on here (extremely helpful threads I hasten to add) on the merits of all sorts of ‘things’ that go into huge technical detail but I remain convinced that the final decisions we make about what equipment we choose is based, usually, upon highly subjective and nebulous criteria that it’s difficult to name, let alone define.

Just PMd you.

Well the SWB-Pro has arrived and after a few days of playing I have realised it just isn't the bass for me, this is a great shame as it is a beautiful thing. It will be up for sale on here by the end of the week.

This.

My amp has all the settings at 12 O/C, I plug straight in with no effects and I play my bass, really quite badly. Sometimes my duo partner tweaks one or two of those controls, she doesn't even bother telling me what she's doing anymore. Almost everything else bass related I run past the infinite wisdom and knowledge of the Basschat collective, via that wisdom I've found the perfect bass and the perfect amp for me and I learn so much on here, it's so cool. So I too feel very random and amateur indeed but I also know that if I get in any kind of bass quandary I have this incredible resource to hand... *sheds tear, waves hankie at brave husband from sylvan garden as he heads out over the Channel in a Spitfire* Fade to black during Lark Ascending.

A shrubbery!

Having just purchased a Chowny I have to say that the quality you get for the money is astonishing.

This bass looks super fabulous to me and it’s a one-off colour wise.

Obviously this reasoned response is what I meant by fvck em'.

This pleases me hugely.

Bingo, fvck em'.

I'd be walking if it were me. I'd like to be consulted about the rescheduling of the date, consulted about keyboard player stepping in, consulted about where my money was ending up. I would also like to know why so many decisions were being made without my input. Actually, thinking about it, I'm with @dlloyd... ...and @Hobbayne for that matter...
