Doesn't that pull your trousers and pants up your bum crack?

[quote name='crez5150' post='568714' date='Aug 14 2009, 09:03 AM']Indeed.... we could make a big list here of all popular bassists including Jaco, entwistle, Bruce, Berlin (shudder....), Wilkenfield, etc....... Wouldn't it be more fun to see who was the fattest or thinnest or goofiest bassist ever.... I think so.[/quote] Or the baldest? I reckon we're both in with a chance.

I've just put in the intitials of the name it first gave me and now I'm "Crippled Money McGee" Jeez, this could go on for ever.

[quote name='iamapirate' post='579631' date='Aug 24 2009, 10:17 PM']well, if you start on C, then you're playing in F I think. It definitely doesn't start on the root note, though![/quote] If the song is in C, the first sung melody note will be G, a 5th above. Simple chord progression is C, G, G, C, C, F, C, G, C This is in the key of C

Just out of curiosity, when your doing a function of some sort and you get the call for Happy birthday, what key do you go for? Unless you have a regular planned key for this as a function band, I usually find that it'll just be either the guitarist or the keyboard player for a simple sing-along. Now, if it's me, I'll usually play a C chord on guitar or a high C bass chord just to give everyone a pitch. However, last week when this happened, the guitarist I was with shouted READY? and hit a G# chord. Just thought that was a bit weird.

Hi, and welcome

Quite a collection from someone who calls himmself a beginner. Nice to have you on board.

Ged orf moi laand. Welcome to the forum.

Nice one, welcome to Basschat.

I have two. Here they are. What would you like to know?

Dave La Rue's sound on any of the Steve Morse band albums (Particularly Stress Fest)

HI HO SILVER LINING (Naaaaa-steeeee)

Easily done in three simple steps. 1) Decide what you're going to wear. 2) Ask your wife or girlfriend what she thinks, and then change your clothes to her suggestion. 3) Ask her which bass goes best with the final choice of clothes whilst sensitively explaining the cool factor of each bass. My wife says most males over the age of 12 can't be trusted to dress themselves. Male bass players are even worse judging by some of the pics on here. Fortunately, I am one of the lucky ones but, I am writing this whilst she's not here.

I found it certainly helped my career as a blues guitarist. All the best, Hoover "twin-tub" Johnson

Last night's gig was guitar and vocal duo in a small(ish) restaurant. We did well and will be asked back. Not a bass gig, but enjoyable all the same.

Just got back from a birthday party where the band were short of a second guitar (sorry) Coped with about 95% and no rehearsal. Stone Free Imagine Pretty woman White room (for a party??) Whiskey in the jar Long train running Poison ivy Back in the USSR Help the poor Run to you Superstition Wishing well Gimme some loving I'll never get over you Shakin all over Sorrow Can't get enough Feel like making love Jonnie B Goode and the dreaded Hi ho silver lining. Only one I f***ed up on, was the middle eight of I'll never get over you by Johnny Kidd. Could have kicked myself afterwards but there you go, I love the danger of a no rehearsal, on the fly dep. Great fun.

[quote name='silddx' post='573128' date='Aug 18 2009, 03:30 PM']I knew you'd feel that way.[/quote] So did I. (Bilbo about the issue that is)

I don't know, but I imagine there's a good chance at least one of the staff there is a member of BC so maybe they'll see the thread and take the hint that they obviously need to clarify their pricing.
