I've still got one of those 45s. It was Spike Milligan doing a goonish rendition of a song called Tower Bridge as a flip side to Silent Night. It was a stocking filler one Christmas when I was little. I also got Cliff Richard singing She's leaving You/Big Ship and Lulu singing Boom Bang-a-Bang.

Have him washed and sent over immediately please.

Welcome DiMarco.

George Martin is indeed worthy of mention but his remixes are not.

It's all alimentary to me.

Yes. I am the same with my Pitbull. There are improvements to make but they lost in the competition between building and practising when I heard how it already sounds. It's my main axe now. You needn't beat yourself up over it though. It's a stunner.

Layers of goodness are starting to accumulate.

You didn't have to bring your infantile sarcasm and insults with you. If you'd left them out you might have gotten somewhere. You are still welcome if you can leave the condescending attitude at home.

It's like you meant to let out a lickle gufflet but followed through in spectacular fashion. I bet you feel pounds lighter now.

Welcome Dasitor. I feel the same way about jazz, i.e. 'I can't'. With me it is more a case of I won't. No disrespect to jazzers but Dame Cleo's scat put me off. If a large woman got up and did that while I was playing I'd be mortified. You'll have some interesting stories if you've been modding. Have you seen the Build Diaries yet?

I left a classical education for a technical one because of attitudes like yours.

Do they know about this on the 'More Beatles' topic?

Far as I can see the lad is only guilty of having a cartoon face. All you lot are just jealous of his youth, exuberance and seemingly unlimited access to novel gear.

Cool. Does TL play his Chapman stick with those funk fingers?

Thanks for reminding me. It's years since I heard that conspiracy theory. You might just have single handedly given this thread its second wind. I hope your satisfied with yourself for that young man!

It's good 'ere innit?

Welcome Funkfingers. I don't know you from anywhere else but I will always remember you for posting the scariest topic title that I have ever seen!

Welcome Raeman. You've come to the right place. There is a thriving marketplace on BassChat here.

Hahahahaha. Bless.

I think I'd re-consider my position on acoustic bass if I had a spot in a mariachi band but I wouldn't keep it near the bed for fear of mistaking it for a slipper and scaring myself half to death with the thought that I've shrunk! If I wanted to practice during unsocial hours I think I'd go with headphones on my rig. I am fortunate enough to have a well isolated practice space though so it never comes up really.

Welcome Thaibass. Gosh. There's so much goodness in that image but there is no doubt about what the most precious bit of kit in that room is. You must be very proud. Does she play much yet?

I think he might have thought that himself from reading the article I linked out to above. It stated that he was the first to quit but that he was welcomed back after the others realised they'd under-rated his worth to the band.

Good point. I only 'got into' it because I was matey with a family of musicians and I was press ganged. I didn't need the music as an accessory to puberty. In fact teenagers need no excuse whatsover. They are horny all of the time.

Watch this then. Good post, you've earned your kip.

The image of the troll-like creature should be a clue here. It made me laugh anyway.
