Thread whore [/quote] Blimey! You're right I am a thread whore, there I've admitted it [quote]'Off Topic' doesn't count towards your post count...[/quote] That was my point. I thought I'd spent my time on off topic which doesn't count so couldn't work out why my post count was so high. Now I know why thanks to Josh3184. I must go now
  3. How does the post count thing work then? I've spent the last few hours ars1ng about on 'Off Topic' but according to the count I've posted 12 times today! Surely not
  4. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='772477' date='Mar 12 2010, 09:27 AM'][/quote] Are you the love child of Victor Meldrew or have you had to work at being this miserable? [size=5]Disco is Good[/size]
  5. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='773729' date='Mar 13 2010, 05:05 PM']Glad you got away without too much damage..! Years ago we were doing a gig in a theatre. The Singer / rhythm guitarist thought he'd be very cool during an instrumental by leaning against a curtained wall on the side of the stage. Only, it wasn't a curtained wall. It was just a curtain. He disappeared into the inky blackness of a storage area, landing on a pile of theatrical detritus with a comical crash. Ouch.[/quote] One shouldn't laugh I know but you've described it so well.
  6. [quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='773719' date='Mar 13 2010, 04:56 PM']Shh, the music to 'And i'm telling you' is really good [/quote]
  7. [quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='773708' date='Mar 13 2010, 04:46 PM']Glee Cast - Defying Gravity :blush:[/quote] You should be ashamed. I'm not one to diss people's choice in music usually, but that is just beyond the pale.
  8. [quote name='Rich' post='773540' date='Mar 13 2010, 12:30 PM']Amy MacDonald, 'Mr Rock'n'Roll'[/quote] Very good album as well. Listened to the new one last night, and it's not that good. I was rather disappointed.
  9. [quote name='Tech' post='773335' date='Mar 13 2010, 02:42 AM']i once walked into an estate agent (a really small, shoddy, no business estate agent in a quiet bit of swansea) to hold open the door for a rather badass looking old man wearing 3/4s and a hat... who apparently was Robert Plant. i'm fairly sure bonnie tyler keyed my mates car (he left it outside her drive for a minute when we were unloading some stuff for a skate comp on the sea front, came back and it had been totally keyed!) i served charlotte church and gavin henson [size=4][b]in boots[/b][/size], twice within the space of 5 minutes (he forgot to buy batteries) and failed to recognise either of them on both occasions (much to the amazement of all of my colleagues). oh and once i walked into the hospital for some clinical lecture and jo whiley was doing her morning broadcast from a table in the foyer... about 10 other students gathered to watch her and we almost managed to put her off (accidentally! we were just curious) live on radio one... i waved and i'm fairly sure she flicked the bird at me [/quote] What else were you wearing? Or was it just the boots? Flicked you the bird? I need to get out more or buy a book on modern terms used by young folk.
  10. Completely different I know, but the SR300 I have is made from Agathis and it sounds great.
  11. Personally I'd go for the CV. They get good right ups and there are members, like Bass5, who think they're the dog's wotsits (with a bit of tweaking). Great mod there Bass5.
  12. Mumford and Sons album.
  13. maxrossell on here was on about using guitar amps instead of bass amps once I think. But it may have had something to do with refusing to pay out for extra equipment.
  14. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='773176' date='Mar 12 2010, 09:23 PM']Picking iy up Tuesday.[/quote] Excellent. Hope you and your new [u][b]iy[/b][/u] are very happy together.
  15. [quote name='karlfer' post='773140' date='Mar 12 2010, 08:30 PM']Brain the size of a planet and you come up with innuendo?[/quote] Fixed it for you, no small needed
  16. Hands Off!
  17. Welcome
  18. A very interesting idea. As with Ray might hold fire, but I still think it's a really innovative idea. (someone's now going to say it's already being done somewhere else on the net ).
  19. [quote name='BigRedX' post='772473' date='Mar 12 2010, 09:26 AM']I thought I'd posted this already, but it's not in the thread... So as well as nearly being in a band with John Bonham's daughter, when I was 5 my best friend was Nicky Hallam, since better known as DJ The Head from the Stereo MCs. We only stopped being friend because our birthdays were either side of the September year divide and so when we went to Junior school he was in the year above me which at that age will kill a friendship dead. It was here that he met Rob Birch the singer. Also at the same school as me was Bruce Wooley who wrote "Video Killed The Radio Star", and Paul Brindley who played bass in The Sundays. The strange thing is that while I was very active musically at school trying to get my fairly terrible band involved in every musical activity going, I don't remember any of the others doing anything musical at all except for Rob Birch who was the guitarist and singer in a punk band called The Blitz Kids.[/quote] I can't think of anyone at school who did anything remotely musical. The best I can do from school is that one of our year is now the leader of the local district council, he always was an opinionated idiot. Bloke I went to college with, I can only remember his first name it is Christopher, is something of an important bod at the Royal Opera House. Everyone used to take the mickey out of him at college, more fool them.
  20. I'm not really a Fender man but they do look gooooood. My eldest (5) has just said that he'll lend me the money to get the red P with the black scratch, it's his favourite, apparently black is a bit dull.
  21. Sorry I thought this was about something completely different. Wondered why it was in General Bass Disc.
  22. Shouldn't this be in the 'Bassists Wanted' forum?
  23. Definitely one to consider. I was invited to an acoustic jam session recently and that sort of thing would fit the bill and come in handy for other things. EDIT: Just checked with Mrs M. Apparently I won't be getting one.
  24. [quote name='Bassassin' post='771778' date='Mar 11 2010, 04:25 PM']Oh f*ck me but that is beautiful.[/quote] You took the expletive right out of my fingers. I'm going to have go and have a lye down now.
  25. I'm happy with my current bass, it suits my needs. But I'm not 100% happy with it. It's a fine instrument for the money and would recommend one if anyone asks. Sometimes it just lacks a little something. If I were to be gigging regularly I would probably look for a different bass, but would try my hardest to find one that was as close to 'ultimate' as possible. I don't get GAS, because I think an instrument is better or out of desire just to have it. I tend to invent 'valid' reasons as to why I need to have a different bass. These have so far been shot down in flames through the application of common sense and the intervention of Mrs M.
