[/quote] ha ha, that's what I was gonna say! .... not read the whole thread yet, but back in the not-so-ridiculously-priced-world; has anyone suggested Fafner (by EBS)?

and further to discussions on Mr. Berlin (but steering well clear of his personality traits, appearance compared to certain Adult 'film' stars, and choice of footwear) I'd love to see him in a reprise of the famous SNL sketch; where Christopher Walken repeatedly demands "more chorus"...... whaddya reckon folks?

this poll could surely be further simplified: "who, out of JB and PMcC would be most likely to get the drinks in?......" I think McCartney would get my vote based on what I predict to be the outcome of that particular question!

value of my instruments (when new) > value of my house (when new)

[quote name='4000' post='273686' date='Aug 31 2008, 01:44 PM']Hey, I played on that tune! ..............................................(only joking )[/quote] you say that, but it's quite feasable that one of us actually did! .... I'm sure I read a post extolling this particular piece of music on here not so long ago :wacko: I guess it's different things to different people; I bloody hate it though if I'm honest! [size=1]did anyone hear the Bass playing on "Pappy's Fun Club" - Comedy Lab Special on Channel 4 on Thursday night? [/size]

a mate of mine got a ringing in his ears after hitting a cymbal in his conservatory..... that was about 8 years ago and his ears are still ringing! get some of these: [url="http://www.hearingprotection.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=62&Itemid=121"]http://www.hearingprotection.co.uk/index.p...&Itemid=121[/url] I got mine at Specsavers audioligy dept in Wolves for £160 - which [i]does[/i] sound very OTT but when you think about it, it's worth every penny. perfectly flat attenuation and above all others (and I've tried EVERYTHING over the years) very comfortable. also great for haring yourself for those BVs they're actually a pleasure to wear, rather than a chore. and because they're so flipping expensive you'll never lose them (hopefully) all in all, a small price to pay for looking after those lugholes! edit: oh yeah, and I got a free hearing test out of it, good for establishing any existing situation of hearing loss (thankfully minimal, and I intend to keep it that way)

my current favouritist live photo! Snapped by fellow Bassman, Mr. Alan Barrow. I love the way it's framed; got the rig, other bass, me and the mic all in shot. [size=1]edit: oh yeah, and I'm obviously breathing in![/size]

yorks5stringer's next in line thanks to his expedient reply! I'm gonna buy myself a copy now anyway, 'twas a grand read and I'd definately read it or at least reference it again if it were on my shelves. So if you're the sort of person to read things more than once I'd encourage you to leave the queue and head to Amazon

Killer book, very much enjoyed! Apologies for having it for a little longer than I should've, it arrived at a very busy time for me work-wise. first to PM me their address gets it next! PS: don't forget to sign your names in there, it's only me and Garry so far :/

[quote name='bubinga5' post='261109' date='Aug 12 2008, 07:26 PM']Teddy try Bassworld....[/quote] good name for a Bass forum, that!

Cheers for the Uber-swift responses guys, I've only just remembered to check this thread! I'll get on the case in the morning..... mucho thanks - Dan

Ronnie (Spector) Dionne (Warwick) Tyson (long story) I did have an Emma, but I part-exed her for Gemma and, er.... John! one of the Warwicks, both acoustics and an Ibanez are still awaiting names, oh yeah and "The Rail" but what would you call that one eh?

I'm looking to get some custom waterslide decals printed up, and I need some metallic inks (gold and silver) etc. any ideas peeps? cheers - Dan

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='257911' date='Aug 8 2008, 11:08 AM'][i]‘In music…pure tone, true pitch, exact intonation, perfect harmony, rigid rhythm, even touch and precise time play a relatively small role. They are mainly points of orientation for art… The unlimited resources for vocal and instrumental expression lie in artistic deviation from the pure, the true, the exact, the perfect, the rigid, the even and the precise. This deviation from the exact is, on the whole, the medium for the creation of the beautiful – for the conveying of emotion’[/i] – Carl E. Seashore.[/quote] ..... exqueeze me, baking powder?!?

*stop on the one* "Let's hear you Basingstoke Working Men's Club!" RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE SALLY RIDE! ...... what's not to like?!? [size=1]EDIT - PS: Played it last night at a wedding in Worcester and it went down an absolute storm of course![/size]
