[quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1377722713' post='2191008'] Mark King, or doesn't the I.O.W. count as Britain. Or perhaps he's on the list and I failed to spot him........ [/quote] I thought that. is it not cool to cite him as an influential player anymore?!!? are you all trying to say " I would have done that stuff anyway" Ballorks, Mark King is the Guvnor and launched a million bass players god bless him. never gone for the popular vote myself ( but Pino is deservedly up at first position)

call yourself a "Bass Player" rather than a "Bassist" will make a good start (sounds less Geeky) when advertising, oh and keep a Diary so you don't let anyone down when the gigs arrive (because they will if you're good) I could do with a dep every Blue moon !! PM?

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1377612945' post='2189382'] I'm always interested to hear great songwriting mate, so I thought I would ask. [/quote] oh I know Nige I just saw another opportunity to throw this cat (I have been minding) at those Pidgeons

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1376829091' post='2179565'] You may not like the look of it, but it's a bass that has been designed very specifically to fit a particular player's needs and from what I remember of the build thread, it has a lot more R&D for a one-off instrument then many mass-produced basses appear to have! [/quote] R&D ? Retina and Damage, in one sentence/Photo? ( its just a laugh Red) no, I don't like it but that means one [u]More[/u] bass we wont be fighting over if it goes to sale eh?

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1376818693' post='2179349'] How about this one? Making good use of it with my little beat combo, Prescott.... [/quote] has any one seem the episode of the Simpsons where Homer designs a car that bankrupts his brothers business? some thing just reminded me of it.

Mick Hucknell Phil Collins Man flippy mouth like purses...the sort with the zip and flap for change [/quote] I've met Hucknall (to quote Mog of simply red Mk1) "the singing Pig" and trust me that's not irrational. a bit self important. just like Aziz Ibrahim (another one) didn't like him either. ( yes I know, but I do mean it)

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1376692682' post='2178241'] tbh, i thought everyone gave him credit ! [/quote] and I thought it was all a bit "sniffy" just goes to show Phil, you can never tell with the tinternet! ;D

and they call you "Happy" Jack ? is it all about kak handed "clash bass" stylee in your world then? naa that sounds rude of me,and not what I mean, but celebrate a great player. even if you don't like Jaco. you'll be in a room of nine (yes I know,.... and counting.....) please don't think I'm being a git even if I am.

bloody hell, you can be a miserable lot at times!

This video starts out as one of those "oh here we go again!" jobs about a kid playing bass, but really, stick with it. Dahm! [media]http://youtu.be/8kGzQav6FJo[/media]

if you want prompt, efficient and personal customer service Rob and Dawn at Status Graphite are the ones to call (What?? just saying!)

really loving the tight slap on this

[quote name='Urban Bassman' timestamp='1374941625' post='2155061'] Here we go two...three....four They don't make em like that any more. And, what was the bass that his bassist was using? This could on and on and on... [/quote] [quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1374953804' post='2155258'] Dunno, but I'm glad you said using. He sure wasnt playing it. Whatever, at least it was done in fun. Not the impression you got from the previous lot [/quote] now here I can name drop! because I used to play in a band with "jilted john bass player" he's called John Scott and is actually a very fine guitar player first and foremost and played guitar/bass on the record all on his lonesome. I asked him about the bass once and he said he "didn't know, some one used to turn up with one for me to mime with, probably a honer or a hofner I haven't a clue to be honest!" ahh the heady days of 1978 (even I was only13 ) love renaissance and I too would pay some dollar for a dvd of that concert, any chance Cosmo?
