Welcome aboard! Lots of things you can't learn on TalkBass. Self-deprecating humour and irony being at least two! Cool avatar, do you play from a wheelchair?

Welcome aboard!

Clearly he's too intelligent. As all bassists are 😉

That "rules exist because of breaking them" doesn't actually follow. For example I can build a machine, lets say a spacecraft or submarine, and have a rule that says "Do NOT do X then Y or you will cause an explosion and die horribly ". The rule exists to prevent the behaviour, but was not instituted as a result of someone breaking the rule. It was instituted as a result of a third party understanding the consequences.

Someone traded it for a shinier thread.

Really, really like this! What does it play like?

But is it any good for metal?

Never seen them. I don't consider myself a big folk fan, but I'm looking forward to Tuesday. If only because it's the first live gig in 30 months!

I remembered yesterday getting a flyer in about November, and then forgetting all about it. Just checked out their current album "Shuffle and Go" on Spotify. Like that a lot. FC's website apologises that, due to Covid, they won't be joining the audience in the bar afterwards as usual. And asks that you bring cash if you want to buy the CD as there will be an Honesty Box on the merch stand!

Just bought tickets to see Fairport Convention at my local 300 seater venue on Tuesday. 👍 Then possibly Nick Mason and co in April and definitely Joe Satriani in May.

It's in the signal chain. You're nicked.

You're supposed to provide that as part of the answer. It's a 25 mark essay question in Philosophy And Ethics, not a 2 mark Maths question as we originally assumed.

It's a bass situation, so probably a Bb

Welcome aboard! I think that may be the first time an introduction post has warranted going straight to the "famous quotes" thread. Vigorous rabbit-holing, innatention and Glenfidich, sounds good to me.

Welcome aboard Left hand, right hand, second-hand, all tastes catered for. Lots of worship bassists here too, we come here to moan about the church pianists and the state of CCW, and to occasionally swap tips for fitting funk basslines into communion songs. BC=Bass Confessional.

Probably now, the panto season must be over.

Tetris.mp3 This month's challenge: transcribe and play on bass. 😛

Well packed, that man. After the Midlands Bass Bash I did think that Jaguar's design rule "two sets of golf clubs in the boot" was inadequate. "One 35-inch-scale bass in the boot" was just not quite possible.

Oh No She Isn't!

"Sonically Plebeian". 😁 Now how do I change my Basschat signature 🤔

Finally listened to this. I like it! I'm struggling a little to imagine it sitting in our church worship band though, so it's not going to be on my purchase list 😇😎

Welcome aboard!
