[quote name='silddx' post='910232' date='Jul 30 2010, 01:17 PM']Mmm. Really? You don't see a difference, semantically if not philosophically? How can you communicate effectively, ie. beyond a very basic level like that of a child, if you are not picky with language, by which I presume you mean use of particular words to convey meaning or intent? It must be quite limiting for you, not to say dangerous. Music is a language so presumably, being a microwave, you are more picky about the newts you use?[/quote] Are you calling me a child?

[quote name='silddx' post='910193' date='Jul 30 2010, 12:52 PM']Interesting you think it pedantic. To me there are fundamental and very important differences. The difference between a mechanic and a composer.[/quote] I'm not that picky with language.

[quote name='witterth' post='910144' date='Jul 30 2010, 12:08 PM'].... it looks like something out of a 50's SI/FI film or, at least, something Checkov would have on his "desk" (60's) ....[/quote] I like the aesthetics of Ashdown amps. That’s the only thing I like about Ashdown though.

My first bass was an Encore P copy which is the worst I've owned. I've had a couple of bad Fenders as well, an MIM jazz 5 and an MIA jazz 4.

[quote name='silddx' post='910060' date='Jul 30 2010, 11:12 AM']Do you prefer to be referred to as a MUSICIAN or a BASSIST.[/quote] I don’t think it matters, I’m not that pedantic.

I'm happy with a passive jazz. The 75 RI I have at the moment has a nice neck, it's not as chunky as the standards I've played. Suits my style of playing well.

I expect to get a bit of a buzz from music. It changes on how I get that buzz though. I’m not currently in an active originals band. The two function bands I play with are great, I expect us to play well at every gig. Sometimes I don’t feel we do and I’m a little disappointed (your own worst critic and all that). Recently, what’s giving me the biggest buzz is taking on dep gigs at short notice. I like the challenge of learning a set in 7 days and then nailing it with a bunch of people I’ve never played with on gig night. It’s that bit of adrenalin which makes it worth while. Same reason I cycle a road bike, 67kg on about 4 square inches of rubber pumped up to 100psi and topping out at 54mph leaves me buzzing.

Any reason you want 4 screw fixings or is it just for peace of mind? I've got a Fender one that does the job. It only has 2 screw fixings though but, it's not like I'm swinging from it in the evenings.

Gold all the way. It's a nice transition between the maple and black.

I’ve never needed a torch to setup a bass? Have I been doing it wrong?

For anyone after an Analogman Chorus there are a couple on eBay at the mo.

[quote name='Commando Jack' post='894591' date='Jul 14 2010, 12:20 PM']Never really pulled as such, but get the odd bit of attention now and again. I think though it's more about how you act on stage. Apparently I can look quite moody and stand offish at times. To be honest that's true, because when I've just finished playing for 2 hours I just feel the need to go home for a cup of tea (even on the nights where I've had a couple and get quite gregarious as a result). Even though I appreciate the ego boost of female attention, I just can't be bothered half the time![/quote] Pretty much this for me as well. If I've worked all day and have a gig in the evening; you spend an hour setting up + helping everyone else, play for 2 hours, and then an hour packing down, my desire to stay and socialise is pretty non-existent. Where as shower – tea – bed is an appealing combo.

That video does sounds like digging in + valve amp [url="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/img/music/whitedenim/mercury/05.jpg"]http://www.brooklynvegan.com/img/music/whi.../mercury/05.jpg[/url] There's another shot of him. He's defo bopping a woolly mammoth there. Is the other one a sansamp with tuner on the parallel out?

Find a session fixer and get on his/her books.

I have one. I like it (although it's not getting a lot of use at the moment). I think you're right, there's isn't a lot of love on here for them.

Still looks a bit Elizabeth Duke to me

[quote name='silddx' post='890661' date='Jul 9 2010, 06:16 PM']It will never sport any chrome, chrome is only for guitars I am very tempted to go for gold, as it were.[/quote] [quote name='EBS_freak' post='887654' date='Jul 6 2010, 07:00 PM'][/quote] ^ That one seems to wear chrome quite well. I think black hardware on white basses looks a bit odd. The white Thunderbirds to me never looks as good. As for gold..... it's a bit Vicky Pollard, isn't it?

[quote name='silddx' post='890425' date='Jul 9 2010, 02:11 PM']OK, Gold or Black hardware?[/quote] What's wrong with good old chrome?

I think a lot of people won't have the means to record a sound clip. I don't think by not having sound clips it's detracting from a sale. If you're looking to drop some serious wedge on a bass then you're going to do your research. Acoustics are abit different because there's a smaller market for them. I don't see it as being a problem though.

dEUS this morning Oceansize this arvo.... until the Tour coverage starts at 2:30.

I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress.

Dan bought a pedal from me. He paid quickly and was great to deal with

Whenever I think they need changing.
