When I was involved in the dance scene Vinyl was the King of all formats, CD's & MP3's were seen as well a poor replacement. I still know guys who Mix with Vinyl & people who dont go out clubbig anymore because of the loss of sound quality. I loved mixing with vinyl because of the physical connection you had with it, being able to hold the disc & move it was the great thing about it all. and also because of the physicality of owning the disc, your collection was a very personal thing which other DJ's always were interested in. Readig this now makes me want to get a turntable & some vinyl.....aww goddam it BC you've made me want something again....grrrr

Obscure Musical Backwaters - The Great SGC Nanyo Thread
fumps replied to Happy Jack's topic in Bass Guitars
Drooling over the Bass Collection love When i first started playing I used to think (And still do) that they looked & played like kittens lol. I still admire them even now.....what a cracking thread. I now play an Ibanez SB which always reminds me of a Bass Collection bass. -
Do you tell your work colleagues that you play bass?
fumps replied to mentalextra's topic in General Discussion
They all know at work. Because I work in manufacturing I work with a fair cross section of people. Warehouse guys, chemist's, production satff & engineers. They all ask me about music & my love for it. The best thing about this was that a supervisor in the warehouse (He's in his late 50's) about learning guitar & he asked me if he was "too old" I told him not to be daft & music is about just getting up & having a go. This was an insperation to him & now he's a full on guitarist. he plays gigs with his mates & loves his new direction. He's even cut down his drinking to more than 50% than he was before. -
[quote] [font=Arial][size=4]For this sort of repair I think nothing works better than Cascamite; now it is solid again and seems even more resonant than it was before.[/size][/font] [/quote] Wow being a technical advisor for an adhesive company I was unaware that Cascamite had resonant factors......THis guy is a tower of knowladge. I may ask him for more information on this one ! But he still is god-like in the creation of Bullbadge !

A warning and an insight into the domestic mindset
fumps replied to thunderbird13's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Gutted mate, like Blue jay says the damage is done & unforunately accidents happen. I would hold true though with the blame game (Play it with no seriousness to it) & win some man points for making her feel guilty about it. You could get at least a nice cooked meal out of it.....or even some special attention. -
It's a funny ol place....Mustang Sally gets a funny reaction everytime. Snobbery or not, love it or hate it. It just Is a song. Now can we get on with our game of twister please I have leg ache

I'm lost at how anyone can see not liking a song that is so over done as snobbery......I love shortbread but if i eat it every day for a month i'd get sick of it......does that make me a shortbread snob ? lol It's a song that people like or leave. I often take the P*ss out of bands who play it because lets be fair, it is cheesey. The bottom line is just this point, people will like it when having a drink or two but I think being aware of the cheesiness is the key.

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1352555390' post='1864561'] So it's still a wreck - but I haven't filed the nut down to .5 of a mm for ease of beginner chords NOR have I adjusted the relief at the top nut by a gnat's c*ck............yet! But a wreck has never sounded like this one does.... ah well, it filled a few hours . [/quote] Thats because your not a pro yet lol

Although i often joke at my hatred for this songs endless covering. It all depends on who & how it is covered. I often encounter it done badly & thats when I find legging it outside is the only way I can show my feelings as I would never be disrespectful to someone out there doing it. I'm no longer in a band so am just one of the punters now. but it can be mostly found being played to death by every band on every weekend. It can be done well & if you do get a good resonse it's worth having it in your armoury I suppose. I just know whenever a band starts playing it the locals at the Abbey in Bramley always exchange that "Aww not again" look & then the outside smoking area suddenly gets busy......it's known as the "Mustang rush hour"

Ooooo cant wait to hear this. I cant listen at work mate, but I'm now following you on soundcloud so will have a listen tonight. -
Yes we are an embarrassment to all northerners by not getting this together. even a Yorkshire P*ss up is possible surely lol

I've always struggled with the economy of movement thing. My fingers fly round the fretboard like a spider with a rollerskate on each foot. It's always been shoddy, but if i'm in time & it sounds right then I am playing bass & i'm happy with that

great bass players with terrible technique, are there any?
fumps replied to iconic's topic in General Discussion
Cool I started reading this thread feeling a litle threatened (My technique is sloppy to say the least) but because the latter part of the thread goes into my way of thinking, I feel much better now. I've never really understood the technique thing. The way I view music is that the be all & end all is what is comming out of the speakers, it does not really matter who did it & how. The sound, texture & track is what it's all about.
