Im an ExBassist...I play above the 7th fret.

My Polish mates get it all the time,only Yanks get the buttkiss treatment...sometimes. Wear a suit and the world climbs over itself to help...look a mess,and you will get sweet fa.... Have an accent that ISNT posh Queens English or leaking money,and the blinkers go up. AND DONT start by saying "I wear what the f*** I want when I go into a shop" type posts,because its fact.

[quote name='wombatboter' post='316896' date='Oct 28 2008, 05:40 PM']Tourist traps ? I went to the bass shops over there twice in my life when I visited London and everytime it struck me that it's not an advantage to be a Belgian bassplayer. I'm sorry to say but most of the time I was treated like some foreign disease they had to endure. I had the money in my pocket but I wasn't very eager to take it out when I saw the reactions whenever I asked something. I think I'm a rather polite easy going person but I want to be treated with respect and that was hard to find. I'm sorry to say but also in the Bass Centre in Wapping I wasn't taken serious and no one showed any intrest in helping me out...[/quote] Thats because you are forign..and that can translate into the minds of some as 'Irritating timewaster'

[quote name='lwtait' post='316167' date='Oct 27 2008, 09:19 PM']whats the point? he might as well keep the g string just in case. its not like it makes a difference to neck width or feel or anything.[/quote] Some people.....

WELCOME... Extra strings,Extra fun!

Currantly in the same kind of mindframe..depends on the 'Name' and fanbase of band really. Is anyone gonna sue,or doublebook is my 1st thought...It really depends on what you are doing really.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='314799' date='Oct 25 2008, 11:04 PM']For What Its Worth What he really needs to do though Ross is start selling 9 strings [/quote] I think a new attitude is more called for.... But seriously John,IF you wandered into any shop regardless of product,and got that 'feeling' you'd probably search anywhere else for what you needed,rather than lay the Queens face on the counter! I got it once in Barnstaple,as a result,I ALWAYS went to Exeter to buy anything (Mansons),at least I felt I was being treated as a valued customer,even if it was a book,cable,pedal...anything.

Cant someone just brick the place,or twat the idiot.. He REALLY needs to read John Timpson's article's on customer service.

Its a way in.

DO IT Ive often,after years of being stupid,argued that Metal Bassplaying is often crap,and other styles are far far better as far as Bassplaying goes... ..But Metal's louder.

Fender created the 'Jazz Bass' for fags.

[quote name='Russ' post='312689' date='Oct 23 2008, 05:42 AM']Doug Pinnick from King's X has renounced Christianity - apparently his Christian peers were less than understanding when he came out as gay. So I guess that puts paid to that one. The way I see it, as an ex-Catholic (now with beliefs somewhere in-between agnosticism, humanism, Buddhism and pure physics), is, if God is out there somewhere, then apparently he gave us the capacity for creativity, so, on that basis, all music is a celebration of God.[/quote] WOAH..didnt know THAT one..thought he might not be straight (my Gaydar flickered a few years back..but I put it down to video styling) Didnt he change his name to 'Dug' as well?

The Beatles were just a band. If you cant play a 6 ..you suck If you play headless ....you're gay If you have expensive woods on your Bass,You are a prick 2 octave fingerboards are a waste of wood Bassplaying is shutting up and rootnotes. All Bassists are failed guitarists.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='312647' date='Oct 23 2008, 12:04 AM']ah well, I wasn't all that interested anyway.[/quote] But you did ask,which means you were,and now that seed of denial,will grow,into sheer frustration of 'lack of knowledge',and soon..say..a few months,you WILL hear the voices..and you WILL KILL THE FINNISH CONSULATE..... --------------------------------- To be honest,the Carbonne vid sounds AWFUL,and the banjo thing is what I thought,But there isnt any decent footage of Yves on the 12,good stuff on his 8s,the only thing that vid shows is good technique. Still its better than dull everyday sh*t 4 string Bassplaying by unimaginative,plodding,dullards that wouldnt know the 12th fret if it slapped them.

Jim charges £2500ish...I think. Mine ISNT standard.Anyway enough.... Sub contra master Yves Carbonne [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ILbAVo6FBKI"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ILbAVo6FBKI[/url]

Gonna have to lower the action on it.. The family like additions,Ive got time to spare.
