[quote name='BigRedX' post='1231775' date='May 15 2011, 11:17 AM']A fancy name to try and persuade you to buy what is in reality a rather dull coloured bass.[/quote] I agree. Found another daft one - [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/bass-collection-jive-bass-islington-blue/43326"]Islington Blue[/url]

Damn! I thought you may have tabbed that song by Hue and Cry.

[quote name='Dad3353' post='1225625' date='May 9 2011, 09:58 PM']@Marvin... Where was your Mum in April, 1972..?[/quote] Could have been Bristol. Dad?

[quote name='icastle' post='1225484' date='May 9 2011, 07:51 PM']No. No No. No No No. Are you and Dad3353 related by any chance? [/quote] No.

[quote name='icastle' post='1225469' date='May 9 2011, 07:39 PM']Is that for real of has it been reliced? [/quote] Reliced indeed. It's Road Worn.

I'd probably go for it.

[quote name='Dave Vader' post='1220717' date='May 5 2011, 10:17 AM']Allow me to help, once upon a time, televisions, or TVs as they are known colloquially used to use things called Valves, also known as Tubes (honestly, we should know these things, we are bass players) in order to work. Some people here are old enough to remember such things (not me, I am just historically minded enough to know pointless sh*t like this). Marvin was making a pun or play on words about this very real situation. It was mildly amusing </jokegeekmode>[/quote] Terribly kind of you to say it was mildly amusing, I doubt others would be so kind

[quote name='BottomE' post='1220029' date='May 4 2011, 04:43 PM'][/quote] Sorry, you'll have to excuse my atrocious sense of humour.

[quote name='BottomE' post='1220004' date='May 4 2011, 04:10 PM']Keep forgetting to watch it - i miss the Tube[/quote] Buy a modern telly, they haven't got tubes

[quote name='KK Jale' post='1219306' date='May 3 2011, 10:41 PM']'Kin 'ell... just how appallingly, unspeakably, irredeemably flat does Adele sing?[/quote] [quote name='goblin' post='1219364' date='May 3 2011, 11:41 PM']If you listen to Rolling In The Deep carefully enough on Spotify, especially the Acapella and Instrumental, you'll realise just how lazy the band are too. I can do a better job of it with a couple of mates and the copy of Audacity I've got on my netbook![/quote] Comments like this really do sum up BC members sometimes. I'm looking forward to your rendition of Rolling In The Deep with much anticipation

I've just replaced the D'Addarios on my bass with Fender 7150 Nickels and tbh.........all I can tell is they are a set of new strings. Only differences is maybe less finger noise and they sound marginally 'warmer'. Although I'd have to clean the D'Addarios up to see how bright they really are. The Fenders feel slightly smoother as well I'm crap me

[quote name='paul h' post='1217812' date='May 2 2011, 05:44 PM']Now I'm finally gigging again I feel like I can join in![/quote] Cool! That Retrovibe looks good mate. And welcome back. I was just wondering the other day where you were. EDIT: I'm old enough and uncool enough to use the word cool and not be bothered whether I get away with

I had to really think about this one, it's been about 6 weeks since I sat down to learn a song. So, it was either. Alison Moyet's, All Cried Out (with some extra fills ) or Avril Lavigne's My Happy Ending (with some fills taken out, because my fingers are old ) Also had to refresh my memory about playing Message In A Bottle. Simple but I love playing it, I just do

Watched last night's edition. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't listen to any of the artists that were featured so perhaps I wasn't expecting anything. Performances were all very good I thought, Ron Sexsmith was a bit shaky but he wasn't awful. Really nice to see Avery Sunshine's bass player playing a Squier, and he played it very well

Cracking stuff mate. Really pleased for you.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1214978' date='Apr 29 2011, 02:59 PM']Why is it wrong? TNIT had a valid point (albeit harshly put), and Golchen had an open platform to come back.[/quote] I agree with you entirely. And in fewer words than I was going to use

Has the early summer effected people's sense of proportion on here? I was going to write something at length, but I just can't be bothered. Personally I'm finding BC incredibly dull lately. The slightest whiff of a heated debate and people start getting offended. Be offended. I'm probably one of the least knowledgeable and/or experienced bass players on here but how many times can you find talking about the same pick-ups, strings blah blah blah blah interesting? If that thread alone is the reason TNiT has been banned from Off Topic then I find lots of what is posted on OT offensive. Can I get the 'writers' banned?

My Hercules Mini Stand. It folds down soooooooo small My guitarist has 3 Hercules grab stand things, always looks like he's going camping the amount of metal he carries around. I'm easily pleased.
