    [quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1437331924' post='2825140'] Can't stand these types who say "I play jazz, therefore I'm a better musician than you pop/rock simpletons". [/quote] I can't remember the last time I either heard or read of somebody making such a statement.

    Makes me cry. I have no idea why, but it does. Every time. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhnMd1Jl7SA[/media]

    [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1436878563' post='2821592'] The old saying comes to mind; "If you want to earn a large fortune playing music..... ...... start out with a large one!" [/quote] I thought it was, "If you want to make a small fortune playing music, start out with a large one"? PS. to the OP... do it. Just do it. At 22, you are easily young enough to pick up 'real life' and carry on if things don't work out. I had similar opportunities when I was your age -- I was in a great band which broke up, and the drummer went off to study at a music school in London. He called me up a number of times and begged me to come and join him, but I had a job which paid well and was still living at home so I had security, and didn't want to give all that up. So I sat there slowly dying of boredom at my desk job for the next umpteen years, while he toured Japan, Asia, Europe and Scandinavia with the James Taylor Quartet...

    The 80's

    Rich replied to gadgie's topic in General Discussion

    I was 15 in 1980. It was the decade in which I really got properly seriously into music (having been hooked by 2-Tone in '79), discovered girls in a meaningful fashion , picked up a bass for the first time, did my A levels, got a job and a car and a band, and then a really good band and a Wal, built a following and spent every weekend playing in London at the Brentford Red Lion (RIP), 100 Club, T&C, Rock Garden... loving life and loving music and the whole thrill of being young with the world as my oyster. GOD, I F**KING LOVED THE EIGHTIES.

    Bargain!

    Rich replied to Bass_Guardian's topic in Bass Guitars

    I paid £330 for this in 1986. Still got it, and it's going nowhere. [attachment=196284:wal1-1.jpg]

    After many years wandering in the stringy wilderness, I've settled on Rotosound nickels, 45-130. I like the feel and the sound, and the longevity is good. I'm trying some similar D'Adds at the moment on the back of the 50% offer, to see how they compare.

    [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1436802315' post='2820902'] I think I would rather play in my own band than the Stones. [/quote] I would rather play in almost any band other than the Stones.

    Watching it is equal parts uncomfortable and dreadfully saddening. Another talent imploding.

    At a recent gig in a Gloucester venue: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcdA_4FlKuw&sns=tw[/media] Apparently it had been going on in much the same vein for [i]half an hour[/i] before what happened at 3:04 happened. More detailed story [url="http://www.gloucestercitizen.co.uk/Finley-Quaye-thrown-stage-Woodchester-amid/story-26886378-detail/story.html"]here[/url]. Judging by reviews and stories from other venues online, it sounds like he might be self-destructing.

    [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1436527532' post='2818855'] I know it's an unfashionable point of view, but our brothers in riddim can be a little overlooked sometimes. Now, this may be tongue in cheek, but this is from a website of a band we're supporting soon, band name removed: [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]****** ****** is an exciting 4-piece indie/rock originals band, comprising of catchy lyrics, beautifully powerful female voc[/font][/color][color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]als, thrilling guitar, pumping basslines and a drummer. [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Couldn't they have thought of [i]anything [/i]nice to say about him? [/font][/color] [/quote] Genuine LOL.

    [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1436366564' post='2817561'] Then why did you bother asking the question? [/quote] Yes, I'm trying to work that out too.

    For my money, a d-tuner is probably the single best mod you can make to a 4 stringer.

    Gentlemen. I would remind you all of the Buyer guidelines, with particular emphasis on no.4: [quote] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]1. Make sure you exchange contact details with the seller. Get as much as you can – phone number, address, email and full name are essential. Be vigilant of members not offering any details other than their username. 2. If in doubt about a seller's credibility, search the 'feedback forum' to see if they have sold before. Do not accept evidence of eBay feedback as there is no way of proving this is the same person. 3. Have a good look at the member who you are buying from. View their 'profile' to find out how often they are on the forum, how many posts they have made and how long they have been a member. Be extra careful of brand new members with few posts. 4. [b][i]If you have a concern with the authenticity/originality/provenance/description etc of an item for sale, do not comment on the seller's thread as these comments will be removed by a moderator. If you believe an item to be fraudulent then please PM a moderator and we will do our best to arbitrate - otherwise simply move along.[/i][/b] 5. If you believe the price of the item is too cheap/expensive, then please PM the seller as to why. Do not ridicule or undermine the seller by posting how much you think it's worth or how much it can be gotten for elsewhere, the laws of supply and demand will determine if the item sells at that price.[/quote][/size][/font]

    BRX has quite a collection of these weird sisters if my memory serves me correctly. I like this a lot, but skintness prevents me from considering it even briefly [quote][font="Arial"][b]Weight:[/b] 5.7kg[/quote][/font] [font="Arial"]12.5lbs. Blige, that must be like wearing a sofa. [/font]

    [quote name='pjb13.bass' timestamp='1436179862' post='2815572'] Rather another PF tribute than another Jazz band. [/quote]

    [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1436108658' post='2814994'] ... nor Charlie Watts. [/quote] Or David Watts. Or even Curly Watts.

    [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1435930234' post='2813736'] If anything, a Jazz width neck on a P-bass seems to be quite a popular idea, so I reckon you shouldn't have any trouble finding a buyer for the leftover body and neck. [/quote] Yup, my bitsa P bass has a J neck. My stupid little fingers prefer pencilnecks.

    I like that bluegh Aria, yes even with the stripe. In fact I'd like it less if it was solid colour. For some reason it reminds me of a Ford GT40.

    [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1435785374' post='2812522'] Plus he doesn`t have the arrogance. [/quote] I think this has a major bearing on things. I'm sure an awful lot of us would probably have more time and respect for The Greatest Living Rock Star if he wasn't quite so monumentally & irretrievably up himself.
