This forum is a very warm and friendly place, with occasional spates of passion & strong opinion. People have different opinions & some are more ready to push them than others. I'm very grateful for the friends & acquaintances I've made in the short time I've been on here, but I hate the idea that Basschatistas would be put off by the posts of others. People can be stroppy, but its worth bearing in mind that things & problems happen in real life outside BC that can cause this - no excuse though. The Admins & Mods do a fab job & I'm very grateful. Play nice BC peeps, & if anyone wants a fight, I'll be in the car park after lasties

'Guitar music' - I'd agree with you. But just as the electric guitar & bass were new-fangled instruments way back, computers, sequencers & samples & the like have been utilised to make music more recently, alongside 'traditional' band instruments. Its not better music, its different. There is some garbage about in 'new music', but there was always dodgy music about. (I refer you respectfully to The Bay City Rollers et al *runs for cover wearing tin hat*).

NBD I have failed already Four bloody days! Do early birthday presents count?

First, you start with a tree of your chosen type... ... then the Bass Pixies do magic. That's it. Technical, I know!

Or, ring him up and ask him the cubed-root of 2. 893 and if he doesn't know, pick up your stuff and refuse to give him any payment! Glad bass is ready

Are you going to get a melodica instead?

Anyone else remember these? Far cooler!

You notice this ^^^, and not the fact that none of them have fingers!

I like Venn diagrams. And ducks.

Aaaah - accessorising - clever! The injury was actually caused earlier at the very same gig when our hero attempted to play 'G'.

Aaah, but he does it with such...style & panache! Wringing out his very soul to produce that one note on behalf of his adoring audience - the tortured artist at work! Or something...

He looks unwell. More vitamins required ...or sunlight.

Step. Away. From. The. Keytar. Slowly.

E That is all. If they wanna hear more, they can pay...

How very dare you! Now go to your room and think long and hard about what you've said! No tea for you, my lad!

Hi BassPhil

Not a problem at all. PM me & I'll see if I can drop the bass off - this weekend maybe?

Happy New Year dmc - hope you & yours have a good 2019

Happy New Year Rollie & all Basschatistas! 👍

I can't imagine how this must have been for you - I'm sure that with determination, you'll get your passion back. I wish you every success. I'm in Manchester, I can give you a violin bass (Challenge VP) ⬇️ If you're interested, let me know where you are & we can sort something out.

... and some 'jazz cigarettes', and a zoot-suit! Do it, do it! 🎻 🚬

I only use 3 strings, & instead of fingers or a plectrum, I use drumsticks! Oh no, wait, that'd be Tony Levin!

Thanks
