WhoNeedsYou Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Hiya I'd heard all all about this place but never got a chance to sign up. Finally made time, so errr...here I am! I will no doubt think of something decent to say at some point. Quote

Leen2112 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Yawn.......oh hold on.....sigh, if only I could be bothered to welcome you. But, well you know.....I just don't have the time. Otherwise i would tell of how there is a mine of good information here. Enjoy the forum and dodgy banter. Cheers Leen. Quote
hubrad Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Welcome aboard! You do realise, don't you, that hanging round BC means you'll probably play even less? Put down the computer and step away slowly.. that's good, now pick up the bass.. Oh, and another thing.. be very careful around the Marketplace. Temptation lurks within! Quote
BassTractor Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Hey Lazy, Welcome to BC! Realise though that "lazy bassist" is a pleonasm (though bassists are only 16.67% lazy when playing a five-stringer). Enjoy the banter and the site's vast base of information. Don't be too lazy to partake now. best, bert Quote
jimbobothy Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) If I played bass as much as I find myself of BC these days I'd be, err, better!! Edited January 24, 2013 by jimbobothy Quote
WhoNeedsYou Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 That actually read back like I didnt give a sh*t about joining the forum, I really I do, I've been lurking looking for work for a while but nothing local that I can keep up with has occurred as of yet. I don't have time to playat the moment due to a young child who "joins in" on uke or keyboard whenever i practise, time without her is few and far between at the moment Quote
KiOgon Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Welcome to the lazy lounge, it'll be alright Quote

More like relaxed and humorous if you ask me. Oh, you didn't ask. Anyway, best, bert Edited January 24, 2013 by BassTractor Quote
chrismuzz Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Welcome! i'm a lazy bassist too but in a different way... I play bass so that I have an excuse to get out of doing other less fun things Quote
warwickhunt Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Is that you? The give away might be the band that you were in that gig once a year but should have done more! Quote

The give away might be the band that you were in that gig once a year but should have done more! [/quote] Ahhhh, depends who is asking? Technically I had two bands, one that promised regular gigs but didn't deliver & one that was honest and says he's too lazy to book them....I still play for the latter occasionally!

[/quote] Then yes it is you, as Toddy is a lazy s0d (love him and he could have been a contender but needs a kick up the ar5e sometimes) and I should know as I was the bassist in his earlier band. Can you guess who it is yet? Sorry to anyone else reading this nonsense! Quote

I've actually got a gig sortof booked with Todd so that beats the zero gigs with the other band. I never whinge about lack of gigs with him because he is blunt about the fact they are rare as hens teeth . Truth always wins! Edited January 30, 2013 by WhoNeedsYou Quote
WhoNeedsYou Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Actually I'm wrong, I thought you were Mr Hurd but youre not, but I know who it is now. Speak to you on sunday! Sounds confusing to outsiders but its not actually! Quote

WhoNeedsYou Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 I really need a tshirt with "lazy bassist" on it! Or "How many gigs a year? More than one but less than 20? Count me in! Quote
Kiwi Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I would post something here, but I can't be bothered. Quote

AKAK Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 apparently some bassist are prone to just living life in 'swing' timing Quote
