I doubt that.

Don't you know any other words? Still, you're doing a damn fine job of living up to all my expectations.

Nah, it's just a pathetic cliched insult thrown around by (usually) right wing pseudo-macho keyboard warrior types in a fit of pique at their inability to deal with the rapidly changing modern world, which they perceive as threatening their way of life, their fragile little egos, and ultimately their complete lack of self worth. It probably gives them a little frisson of excitement when the say it, they may even become mildly aroused and as they verbally lay into someone they perceive as being less tough than them, in the same way they probably enjoyed pulling the wings off flies when they were an unhappy child. That's the problem I have with it.

Swearing at people in work isn't professional though, irrespective of what kind of environment you are working in. You certainly wouldn't get away with it in my workplace. Sounds like this person you choose to label a snowflake stood up to some typical alpha male bs macho behaviour, and you don't like it. Good.

Please, not the tedious snowflake cliché, it's so boring. The rest of your post seems to be mostly gibberish.

The line in question doesn't to my mind necessarily endorse a racist point of view, but could be taken as a comment on the prevailing attitudes of the time. I wouldn't worry about it, personally...

Not used rotos for some time but I reckon so... I've been using a custom set of newtone's on my Dingwall since last year as I find the stock sets too heavy, and I find them excellent quality. Still got a set on that I fitted around September last year, and they still have plenty of life left in them. I also like the fact that they do custom sets. The only down side is that you may have to wait a couple of weeks for them, but if you allow for this then it's not a problem...

He's just so bloody perfect.

A sloppy feel sounds like something that happened round the back of the bike sheds...

Still have it in it's original now very dull tin box. One of the few bits of vinyl that I still pull out occasionally and listen to. One of my all time favourite records...

Why would anyone not use all the tonal variations and fingering possibilities that are available to you?

10/15... I didn't know any of the rock players apart from Entwistle so had to guess at those...

I'll raise you lard...

I prefer a bass that plays like flora...

I love [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Civilization Phaze III... it's not an easy listen but I think it has some amazing stuff on it. I'd rank it along side the Yellow Shark as Zappa's last great work, following some fairly duff albums in the 80s. I won't be buying any more Zappa stuff though. Ahmet's recent behaviour seems fairly reprehensible from what I've read and I'm not giving him any of my money. Also, there is so much stuff online already, I don't feel the need to buy any more tbh... Glad your enjoying it though!

The title of this thread should be 'Deluded old men rant at stuff young people do'...

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1509551496' post='3399851'] So 'sliding to the left' for a righty and 'sliding to the right' for a lefty..? Hmm...What about neck dive..? Does that change things..? [/quote] Undoubtedly. And what about the double bass, where you slide up to go down and down to go up.... tricky stuff this relative directional business

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1509548677' post='3399816'] Surely that should be 'sliding down'..? [/quote] Not if you're playing sideways...

[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1509537347' post='3399674'] MacGregor amps [/quote] Blimey I'd almost forgot about those... I had a 200W bass head back in the early 80s.. it was not great. Replaced it with a 50W Marshall bass head which was much better and also louder. Wish I'd kept hold of THAT sucker...

What do you mean, there I go again? There you go again with the ad hominem comments. You have no real argument and you know it, so you attack me personally. Highly predictable and deeply sad.
