You can't ignore edorka's posts, both are incredibly valid. With regard to George Martin I personally think his role has always been underplayed in relation to The Beatles. I'd go as far to say The Beatles probably wouldn't have got where they did without him. As far as Chris Squire goes....well I don't really like Yes so I'm not particularly worried EDIT: I did like the video clip posted by ET though, Mr Squire seems a fairly nice bloke .

Odd, I can still get audio playback on the embedded video in the thread. Your all welcome to pop round and have a listen EDIT: Like the swig of wine you have before you start playing Nige, nice touch

[quote name='paul h' post='1012942' date='Nov 5 2010, 08:39 AM']I can't hear it but you and the bass look immensely cool which let's face it, it is half the battle! [/quote] Turn the volume up

[quote name='steve-soar' post='1012819' date='Nov 5 2010, 12:50 AM']f***ing marv Nige.[/quote] I'm glad you didn't put a question mark on the end of that sentence [quote name='silddx' post='1012831' date='Nov 5 2010, 01:15 AM']Thank you mate! I'm so pleased with it, it's a fantastic bass! Funny, works on here but YT have binned the audio. Probably a good decision given the mistakes I made on it [/quote] Still working this morning. Sounds great, and you can keep the gold if you want, it actually suits the bass (damn it ) Oh and yeah you might want to put in a bit more practice on that piece

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1012450' date='Nov 4 2010, 07:14 PM']My Aunt lives in Devon... He fitted her bathroom last year. She said he didn't vacuum the stair carpet afterwards, but because the rest of the job was A1 she chose to let it go. Recommended.[/quote] Problem with Chris and plumbing is is that he feels he has to use a different spanner every five minutes. Top job though, apparently.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1012396' date='Nov 4 2010, 06:31 PM']But just imagine if Squire's career falters and he has to take dep gigs. Say, with a Barbadian steel band or a Ragtime combo. Without the dots, that would be him finished. So, on balance, if he really wants to get on in this business and be taken seriously, he should learn to read before it's too late.[/quote] Quite. Just imagine how foolish he'd look. Heaven forbid if he turned up and a band had a trumpet player.

Well if he'd learnt a bit more theory perhaps he'd have played more than just root notes. Hold on. No I was thinking of Mike Drint who's got that Squire sig bass thingy. Sorry. Carry on.

[quote name='markstuk' post='1012347' date='Nov 4 2010, 05:47 PM']Absolutely, although I thought the point of a restraining order was that you moved rather than Chris :-)[/quote] I have friends in very low places

[quote name='markstuk' post='1012342' date='Nov 4 2010, 05:40 PM']He's moved to Dublin because Marvin followed him around Teignmouth and he felt worried :-)[/quote] Have you been reading the around the courts cuttings in the local Teignmouth press

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1012285' date='Nov 4 2010, 04:52 PM']Seriously?!?! That's so cool. Did you take any pics?[/quote] I'm afraid it's entirely false. Sorry, I made it all up. I've only been to Teignmouth once and that was before I'd even heard of Muse. He does have a reputation for being a nice bloke though and he is tall.

I visited Teignmouth last year, as it's not too far off, and bumped into to Chris. I mentioned I dabbled on the bass and he gave me an impromptu tour of his house and his collection of basses. Very nice man indeed. Quite tall though, felt like I was stood in a hole all afternoon.

[quote name='silddx' post='1012152' date='Nov 4 2010, 03:10 PM']Yes! I do! I even had a hot flush about an hour ago, I think that was the mention of Alain Caron though [/quote] Find somewhere draughty to sit. That's enough of hijacking this thread, I'm off to do the ironing - men's work and all that

[quote name='silddx' post='1012145' date='Nov 4 2010, 03:04 PM'] I seem to have turned into a right miserable f***er lately. I can't think of any music-related threads I've contributed to recently where I've had anything nice to say, apart fom my build diary I must be in a fighting mood at the moment, verbally of course, I hate real fighting [/quote] Perhaps you're going through 'the change' . Men do you know, we're just not allowed to talk about it . Do you find yourself asking for the heating to be turned down?

[quote name='silddx' post='1012127' date='Nov 4 2010, 02:49 PM']We are a miserable nation.[/quote] You speak for yourself I'm the happiest person I know............what a minute. No that's wrong. I'm the grumpiest person I know. Ignore that back as you were.

[quote name='Mike' post='1012098' date='Nov 4 2010, 02:30 PM']Of course not! I completely agree that he's not a househould name. Actually, if I had to be famous, I'd like to be famous like this - just to people "in the know" or people in my field (e.g. contemporary jazz)[/quote] Sorry, my post was slightly tongue in cheek . Although seriously, many of the 'names' in the bass world mentioned on here I'd not heard of before joining - even Jaco, Miller, Clarke, Wooten and so on.... As far as Janick is concerned I think I'll go with what Jakebass posted (minus the bit about him being a Facebook friend and chatting to him online ) And people keep referring to an article that I never read so I can't comment

[quote name='silddx' post='1012055' date='Nov 4 2010, 01:52 PM']Can I still slag off Alain Caron? [/quote] You wouldn't be you if you didn't

I've got to be honest, I'd never heard of him before I joined basschat. Does that make me a bad person?

The band I've just go into seems very laid back about things. No one is top dog, everyone is encouraged to bring their ideas in, and if you're not happy with something you just have to say. I'm chuffed to bits, we all seem to get along. With some practice we should have a good laugh when we get out gigging (fingers firmly crossed).

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='1011970' date='Nov 4 2010, 12:55 PM']How is this CD longer than 2 minutes?[/quote] It's a double disc Must be just under a minute on each.

The best of Def Leppard? What am I thinking of?

Mates and I wanted to start a band only bass or drums left. Didn't have anywhere to put drums. Never played anything else.

Bring back the brow! Please
