A hearty welcome from the westcountry.

[quote name='thinman' post='728025' date='Jan 28 2010, 07:57 PM']Someone's bound to have pointed this out before but isn't "Fretless Precision Bass" a contradiction in terms? Wasn't a Precision called that becaue it had frets, i.e. it had precise tuning, as opposed to all previous bass instruments being fretless? Must get more to do....[/quote] Have you contacted Fender about this gaff!

I didn't know John Merrick had two uglier sisters.[/quote] [quote name='silddx' post='728061' date='Jan 28 2010, 08:22 PM']He had a fair number of them going by that thread.[/quote] Now, now then. They're probably really nice people. Look they're smiling a lot.

A Salsa exercise cd the lovely wife brought home from salsa classes. God it's awful. Fake smile, it's lovely darling.

It's definitely Flea on my album version, must admit I wasn't aware of an alternative recording. But I don't get out much.

[quote name='silddx' post='727745' date='Jan 28 2010, 04:11 PM']Have you seen this thread mate? [/quote] Is it me, or does that thread make no sense whatsoever? Like when you post on here one post leads to another bit like a story but that is just so random.

Thoroughly agree with the last 3 posts.

[attachment=41289:images.jpeg] This has become frustratingly tedious.

Personally no. If you'd seen them you'd know why

WTF is going on. The MILF thread was always going to get closed. That was obvious as soon as it was started. Just live with it. The mods deemed it unsuitable for the forum, and thats the end surely.

Is Wayne going to IBTL?

Wouldn't let it get that far to start with. Lucky to both know what the balance is.

Biffy Clyro but I'm not really enjoying it.

It's more than likely to be a Ricky because it looks very similar if not identical to this, which is definitely a ricky. [attachment=41254:images.jpeg]

[quote name='Sonic_Groove' post='726373' date='Jan 27 2010, 02:24 PM']+ 2 Build calluses. In the old days (when I were a lad!!! LOL) we used to rub surgical spirit on the ends of our finger to help harden them! In them days strings were barbed-wire and action was what you got at the weekend! B[/quote] I remember hearing about the likes of Clapton concocting all kind of potions to build up calluses. Now where did I put my mixing bowl?

It definitely could be a Ricky.

[quote name='silddx' post='726330' date='Jan 27 2010, 01:59 PM']Your fingers look pure and fresh, unsullied by the calluses I would expect from a bass player. If I was an ancient Greek I would have you perfumed and sent to my room. I think you should play more, an hour or two of hard playing/practicing everyday on the Ric. That should have you fully manned up within a couple of weeks.[/quote] You flirt you. Definite need to build up some calluses. I haven't played properly for about 2 months now so mine are gradually disappearing. Don't seem to stay as long as they used to I would have thought it would have been the other way around: older=callus stays longer. But not it would seem.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='726129' date='Jan 27 2010, 10:38 AM']I suggest you don't try playing a 32-foot bass then. Stonehenge, anyone?[/quote]

I'd probably have a pop at the 32'. But I'm not very big and have got crap hands

£50. What a lucky blighter. And with the case. My old guitarist bought a Jackson (his one and only guitar) about 15 years ago, cost him £700. Lovely guitar. Really ballsy heavy sound he could get out of it. Does anyone remember Charvette guitars? I always assumed they were part of the same group. There was a black one very similar to that Charvel in my local music shop when I started playing.

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72476&hl=yamaha"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...6&hl=yamaha[/url] Maybe something like this? If it wasn't for the fact I don't need it and haven't really got the spare cash for it I'd go for it. I'll add though I don't play black metal, partly because I don't know what it is. I'm out of touch with all things yuuf you understand. Anyway, looks the business at a nice sort of price.

Sarweeeeeeet! [/quote] I'll second that. Really versatile piece of kit. Can also connect into your computer as it has a USB interface. I've used it to record to listen to my own playing. Even if you don't use all the effects it really is more than just a multi effects. Also use a small practice amp with headphone socket, less no, but works well.

Like the tone, like the playing - nothing fancy doing his job very well and like the bass. Also always thought he was the coolest f@cker in GnR.
