[quote name='Buzz' post='421891' date='Feb 28 2009, 07:19 PM']You've come across as a tad angry rather than blunt recently. S'no biggy, just an observation.[/quote]
At what though?.....Im intrigued.

[quote name='Alun' post='421894' date='Feb 28 2009, 07:21 PM']Sounds nice, I would say he listens to a lot of Seth Horan. Very similar style to me.

Cheers

Seth,via Facebook,introduced him to me.

[quote name='Buzz' post='421883' date='Feb 28 2009, 07:09 PM']Ah, so that's why you've been raging recently. Makes sense now.[/quote]
Me,raging? at what....

I understand I have an (undeserved I feel) reputation for writing in a blunt fashion. But I dont think Ive been harsh in ages...months really...

Still waiting,1st gig of the year in 2 weeks...after winter break,guitarists op,tour bookings...and promo pics.

sick of waiting really.

Who cares,f***ing sh*t rag fit only for the budgies cage.

[quote name='silddx' post='421829' date='Feb 28 2009, 06:07 PM']Some geezer at one of our gigs a while ago said any bassist playing with a pick is not worthy of the name and shouldn't be let near a stage.[/quote]
Next thing you get is some qunt saying that having more than 4 strings is bad.....Like a well run train service,its there ,always on time. I heard some 18 year old spout that and he was a student at the LSM.


Fags,grow up,get lower,get a 5.

U2?

Lean to more like!

Ive fond memories of my Satillite Copy...Old thruneck,heavy as hell,,got me through college!

Didnt realise any of the Quireboys came from Brum.

[quote name='EntropicLqd' post='421009' date='Feb 27 2009, 03:30 PM']Seems to me like he'd be better off with a stick rather than a bass really.[/quote]
Why,I think the way he plays/writes wouldnt need the tapstyle of a stick.

its just...sweet isnt it.

[quote name='d-basser' post='419728' date='Feb 25 2009, 11:44 PM']scrubs song: men at work - overkill

that vid was good, kind of a reminded me of Simon and Garfunkel, nice to listen to[/quote]


I hope the guys posts some more stuff.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='419716' date='Feb 25 2009, 11:32 PM']Nice sound from his guitar there.
Would make an excellent soundtrack to a disembowlment scene in "Dexter".[/quote]
It makes me smile like that song that was in an episode of 'Scrubs'...some guy and a guitar..the opening line was


Never found out what the song was called,or who wrote it,it just felt good.

Update: Ive found it,its Colin Hay...

It put a smile on my face.

[quote name='liamcapleton' post='418890' date='Feb 24 2009, 11:26 PM']Phil Lynott for definite. I'd like to see someone put out a Louis Johnson signature bass, but I don't know what would be special about it![/quote]
Treker made a Louis Johnson sig Bass in the 90s

[quote name='M4L666' post='418601' date='Feb 24 2009, 05:56 PM']Possibly a better John Myung sig? It's not great at the mo, really boring.[/quote]
Its at Myung's request,that the design is minimal....

I actually reckon the MKI is better in design and feel than the MKII..I see a few turn up on the Bay,but only in that odd turquiose blue colour.
The Veneer top looks nice,but the pots are cheap,and need replacing (this is from when Ive played them 2nd hand)..the 35" scale is a nice touch,as were the twin P/U's...The MKII looks awful to my eye.

Phil Lynott.......Black Rose,70s P-Bass with a mirror scratchplate.

Come to Cas and visit the Rock factory where you maybe rudely ignored or welcomed with open arms,depending on the wind and tidal changes....OR Galaxy music and gaze in wonder at the classic gear and piles of japcrap,all in a tiny cornershop...and I MEAN tiny..3 people inside and its full,the blokes a diamond too...(Hint:CASH TALKS!)

RF is found opposite the Tigers stadium..training pitch/carpark,Galaxy is at the west end of Smawthorne lane.


You could just watch Harrogate town/Railway....or have a peek at Darlo FC.

Its helps if you have someone who does that for a living running the bookings

Here we go,another 'I like.../No you are wrong' thread...

Seriously though,Ive not seen too many digs at Bootsy,or Rainey,Duck,or Jamerson.

Me

My playing is superior,and beyond any question,Im professional,polite,and an all round good egg.


Anyone found disagreeing with the above statement is either a gay,a woman,or a mental.

Theres one venue...south of the M62,that both the good Dr and Adrenochrome...will know of,that the landlord likes stiffing people,and taking the piss...gets drunk,and f***s off upstairs,with the mumble to the barstaff "They are on £180..." WHEN they are on £250....

£300 for a new years gig?......

Theres another on the A64 that "Just dosent understand why bands want more than £130"

Putting it straight fella...Pass the word....a c**ts a c***...and it needs to be told. There IS more than one venue in a town....you got stung,bad luck,get it in writing next time,and NEVER EVER EVER PLAY FOR FREE UNLESS its for a dying child.*










*Make sure you have free drinks and BBQ.

The corporate drop-out dollar......Factory made 4 chord skapunk in dayglo bullsh1t MTV "BUY THIS AND YOU CAN REBEL".

Cynics are making money out of you!!!!!
