Hi Keith, I'm quite a rounded bass player, covering most styles. I regularly do dep work and play in pit bands, so have covered the styles you are after. Could you please give some more information? Cheers. In the meantime, you can check out my website if you are interested. www.davecorsie.com

I think what was more implied here was sarcasm. sarcasm A tongue of which the user speaks of something the complete opposite of what the user means. It often has the best comedic value. As sarcasm is usually meant for humour, was my comment meant to invoke humour, or was his comment meant to be humorous? Irony One of the most misused words in the entire English language. There are several types of irony. Socratic irony - When someone pretends to be naive about a certain subject, and uses his questions about it to point out a flaw in the established belief. This is often used on the TV show South Park, where the children often ask questions about a situation until the folly in a parent's decision becomes clear. Sarcasm - Understatement, mocking overstatement, or heavy-handed irony (stating the flat opposite of the truth) where both parties are aware of the difference between what's said and what's actually happening. Clearly, another misuse of the word irony. Neither irony or sarcasm are best put across in text form, especially when neither party knows each other, and cannot define whether the comments are meant to be humorous or not. I'm sure we have all had the meaning of some text, even to a friend misinterpreted, let alone a complete stranger.

I don't see any irony in any of your comments, just rudeness at an offer to bring along some basses that might be of interest to some people. Fair enough, no interest, I won't bother bringing anything then if these are the sort of comments it attracts.

I can hopefully make it along. I've been to the previous MBBs near Leicester. I can bring Fretted/fretless Wal 5 strings if any interest?

I will try to make it along. Not sure of bringing basses, as if weather is good, I may come on the bike. If weather is not so good, maybe a 5 string Wal? Fretted or fretless?
