[color=#282828]Hi Andrew[/color] [color=#282828]"Could you pack the bass (i'll pay for the packing and your time for doing it) and if i arrange a courier to pick it up could we do that?" Cheers Geoff[/color] [color=#282828]i replied with. "[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]yeah i can do that buddy. but what shall i pack it in.? I'm a bit worried about sending the bass without a hard case.." my pm is dated May 12th.[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]nothing since.

please delete.

this has been going on for quite a long time. 2 years. i don't want the bass, and don't want any profit from it. recent PM's.. http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=members&module=messaging&section=view&do=showConversation&topicID=410491&msgID=__firstUnread__

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1432367136' post='2780806'] If you didn't pay for it bubinga - then it's legaly not yours to sell, even though it seems to be 'unclaimed property' so I don't know for sure. How about you try to contact the guy by any means you have & say 'look I've got £250 (or whatever it's worth) in my hand for you" [/quote]i have contacted him. sorry I'm not selling it for my benefit. I've put it up for sale. i will let him know when the bass is sold, and will give him the money. plus my rent charge. he he. its only .5 %. to be honest its the wife that is pissed off. i want to sell the bass and give him what he's due.

said bass is for sale. when the mods decide its ok. jeez.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1432348927' post='2780743'] I'm just stunned you've hung on to it for this long! I presume PM's went unanswered? Is it worth naming the individual in case someone else here knows him and can give him a nudge? [/quote]i have messaged him many times. he's a cat that is well known. he hasn't got back to me. i don't want to get rid of the bass without his say so. but its got to a point that i have no choice. .

I've got to be honest i played it. and its a piece if sh*t set up wise. great bass but it plays very badly. this bass will be for sale soon.

2 years ago i picked up a bass for a guy who bought a bass from the Gloucester area. he posted, could a BCer pick it up for him.. not sure if anyone can remember the post. anyway i did . i travelled 15 miles to pick it up for him. i kept the bass in a hard case. i did that for about a year and a half. i can't put instruments in the loft because of the cold. so have to keep them in the music room and we just don't have room. nearly 3 years later, i still have the bass. my wife is getting a little pissed off, as am i.. he's a top bloke, but i don't know what to do with this bass. I'm hoping he has seen this, and it gives him a kick up the arse… if not its for sale.. you have been warned.

From Gang Starr fame, for those who might not know. I got this album a few days ago. its killer Primo. i love some funk in my Hip Hop and Premier does this to perfection. i think he's got old school funk in his veins. his skill on the decks is really cool. its why i loved Gang Starr so much. RIP Guru. i love this style of head bobbing hip hop, but apart from Guru's lyrical style and lyrics, he was the driving force musically. great albums 1 and 2.

[quote name='McBass' timestamp='1432284746' post='2779953'] Thanks for the inspiration... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lCN3A_vbGU[/media] [/quote]such a fantastic record that. has Quincy Jones all over it. really nice finger style groove from Louis.

Oh man thats sad.. what an inspiration he was.. Easily one of my favourite bass players.

[quote name='ChunkyMunky' timestamp='1432249989' post='2779803'] There's something a bit 'quacky' about the tones. I know that's rich coming from a guy whose exclusively plays a Musicman and all... [/quote]Quacky.? what like a duck. thats a new one I've not heard before.

i always thought its best to concentrate on playing from the B string. don't treat it like a 4 string with an extra string. really get to know all those notes on the B string.

ha ha ha ha. ! that made me laugh out loud. .i love them little furry mothers.

I didn't take it that way Kevin at all. thanks girls/guys. let this episode drift away like a bad Bross record.

i posted a thread about Roberto Salomone and his playalong. . and probably came across as a pompous twat with my over bearing views on how a bass line should be played. in real life I'm not said pompous twat, i was just having a bad morning. i wouldn't like any of you girls/guys to think i was, said pompous twat. he's a great bass player, but I'm a stickler for an Incognito bassline. and i still think he over plays, but i should have looked a bit deeper. i value everyones opinion on BC, and do learn a lot from you guys anyways. Have a great weekend.

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1431776592' post='2774839'] This one The original post was fine from a critique of the style. When it just gets to be highlighting someones timing issues it saddens me. [/quote]jeez. is it that bad to call someones timing.? i can't see a problem. i could take it on the chin if my timing is out. i haven't offended his family bud.

This is old but it is very cool. Raphael Sadidiq on a P Bass magic. the singer on keys at the end is just something else. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDsHJW5E1zk[/media]

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1431776016' post='2774832'] This more my kind of thing with regards to funky, 16th note machine gunning! Ass kicking, exciting. The song, not just the bass playing! [media]http://youtu.be/tdZZt9jd6v0[/media] [/quote]that is very cool.! Maceo Parker on sax. nice one Lord Sausage. made my afternoon.

his 16th note machine gun still doesn't sit right with me.
