very often "can they use your gear?" questions are retorical ones, IME.

MMMM.... yes well, if I should,have I been "scammed" and feel "stupid" by reponding to original thread and offering some kind of supportive sentiment well sh#t . really though...have I been made a fool of?...or is it one of those things where some well intentions have gone wrong? and broken forum rules, dunno? bit much If its "made up" eh? hope not.....really

oh .... Crackerjack too late ?

yep...washburn status... I saw one in "crack converter" (brighton) Nov '09 for £200, gone now Not worth that though!! poor pretenders W

everyone will say it all looks "dodgy" and they're most likley right, but I'd say(and this is a VERY informed opinion) GO ON MY SON!!!!! Just make sure you have a good,maxed up credit card( and one keeper!)oh .. and travel insurance,med card for Europe is free (I think)... to fall back on if things go Tit$ up, but otherwise,..... Iv'e had some of the BEST times ever, doing what you propose,so... Make sure everyone is aware that things may get tough(you'll fight and make up..ect)before you go,and then GO!! done this type of thing many, many,many times and its allways been a blast!! yeah things go wrong!, but you'll laugh about that in the pub later.... go for it enjoy rather than say "what if?" god I'm jealous!!! Please go, and regale us with stories, Jack kerouac(!) style seriously DO IT Witterth (45 wishing he was 19 again!!)

Ive not been too "well" lately and things slipped my mind, if you know what I mean? (still able to work though ) but Pete was still a "geezzer" and seemed more concerned about my wellfare than the sale!!! He also sent back "change" (that Ill be returning) top bloke I'd 100% reccomend him. may the road rise to meet you, Pete, a gent. Witterth

[/quote] I was gonna say tha.........oh bugg@r it... what he said. mind you, an old "bluesey" mate of mine used to say"one slap deserves another" but err...hope to never "follow through" while playing guitar!

[quote name='elom' post='752445' date='Feb 21 2010, 01:35 AM']I really like BGM but I get annoyed at the fact that [i]every[/i] bass they review is given 4 or 5 stars. I have a Hohner B2A for travelling and it's great. It also doubles up as my back-up bass, taking up hardly any space at all![/quote] he who pays the piper...and all that stuff.... (my comment gets 5* review)

thanks P..... agreement..most likely right.....? what I thought...but .....any other opinions for the record?

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='751117' date='Feb 19 2010, 05:00 PM']Oh, [i]that[/i]. tch! That's just the bass part to John Cage's "4'33"... need to watch for the stops in measures 32 - 40 & then there's the awkward stretches in the 19/23 section before the coda. Other than that it's pretty simple stuff tbh.[/quote] someones' been to school...and paid attention. whats that note..?...."h"? "m"?,( seen a rest before but..err) I haven't got one on my guitar

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='751597' date='Feb 20 2010, 09:48 AM']Brilliant Video. Amazing that everyone there sings the same notes, shows that everyone there was automatically using the same scale. Wonder if it'd work in countries that don't use the standard western scale though.[/quote] good vid for teaching can I use it do you think?

Thanks OTPJ/MB1 as usual all boxes ticked and Q answered!! TA Witterth

thanks 4 that!!

OTPJ or BassBus..... you chaps are in the know,so, I was wondering can you have leds fitted to a really old status? (mine can be seen on musicman porn thread) is it a daft idea? will it spoil it? love the idea of a "red" xmas tree!! ps dont like status page thats why I ask here!! BC rules!!! Witterth

[quote name='HeavyJay' post='745519' date='Feb 15 2010, 08:24 AM']+1[/quote] another +1 for that. great gig,good memories of that gaff.

good thread....youtube.... I'd say 100% agreement for MarloweDK genius!! but also check out ato71 for some Pino inspired stuff.. my favorite? markfunk71 (does what you'd expect for a "Mark") and only 2 vids! Oh..and kingbassplayer does what it says on the tin!!

Linus.... I'm still thinking about that Kiera Knightly/Sandra Bullock swap? do you? naaa? (its between us guys) a stingray thing.....

Great choices Mr B I love most of those tunes ..... I think the CKTC bass player has passed away, if I remember rightly, so thats well sad cool player though everyone had a short strap/Aria in those days Pre-status!! Mark Kings heyday!!! Pino IS THE MAN inne? and the recording techs for bass seem lost to my ear.....(what..?) good god that sounds FINE!! as for Hucknall... I've met the man, and played ( Very briefly) with him.I found him to be very talented but utter a gobsh*te & twat ( sorry for the language) but its an informed opinion........sue me .....you bugger No Its not cos he dissed my playing btw, he was just a twat. end of.

some serious "chicken head" goin' on there!!!!.....usually means...."damn!......its goin' on" ..... groove wise Pino is just the best!!!!

whats going on here???? "we'll have no shouting here....... (mb1 style)" seriously, though, whats the problem/story? I was thinking of a BC donation.....now...? errr.....?
