How not to impress a lady bassist...

[quote name='Jase' post='214465' date='Jun 7 2008, 03:45 PM']Go to one of his gigs and give him a live review.[/quote]

Hi Jo

As you know, I've been to see you play gigs with Aynsley loads of times, and IMHO you are a pretty tight and fluid player. See you again at the Putney gig on 22 June - I think it's your round

Edit: Just wanted to add this having viewed the gentleman's myspace...........

" Hi i'm Fergie Fulton i play Bass Guitar, also collapsor of scrums, tigers tamed, virgins de-flowered, bar room philosopher, crocodiles castrated, defender of dwarfs rights, parties parted, drinks drunk, honks tonked, fighter of injustice, space traveler, explorer, inventor of the remote control, and discoverer of string theory, not neccesarly in that order....... or true.

I knew there had to be a reason

Your welcome

[Owen]

Not the subtlest relic-ing job on the sunburst precision in his pics.

[jakenewmanbass]

the man seems to me to have his reasons for his unsolicited advice, I suspect they are little if anything to do with the electric bass guitar.

[Wooks]

I would email back and say that you value his input to your lazy right technique but the reason for this is because you don't have the same strength in your wrist as he does, this is probably down to the fact that you obviously don't exercise our right hand as often as he does from choking his chicken on a daily basis!!
This guy sounds like and is behaving like a total prat!!!

[BigBeefChief]

This fella is one smooth operator and a stud to boot:

I'm not gay, but for him I'd make an exception.

Nope.

[alexclaber]

And here we have a great example of the thinking of someone that is so convinced his thinking is correct that he is failing to think at all!

"Now as a standard bass has four strings and is tuned to a fourth through the strings from E, the gauges or weight between strings should not change. I personaly have about ..20 between strings from .120 on an E to ..60 on my G flatwound."

Oh dear...

No need to be so personal!....Esmerelda!, Esmerelda...the bells!....the bells made me deaf you know?

[elom]

Why not just reply and tell him that you've been in floods of tears ever since getting his email and that you have now given up the bass?

Might make him think twice about sending unsolicited criticism next time.

No need to encourage this type of behavior

[EBS_freak]

I'd say he's out to get a piece of you and like a lot of men, has no idea how to go about things.

Anyway, I would reply to him and say he only got the Lightnin' Willie gig because Silvio
(Lightnin Willie's regular bass player - [url="http://www.silviog.net"]http://www.silviog.net[/url]) was busy on the Dancing In The Streets tour... being chosen as sloppy seconds has no kudos.

The guy is a knob.

Haha what an ass, I'd love to see him come see me play, i have no technique or play at any standard but i would know what to do with a patronising a*sole

[quote name='jojobass' post='214396' date='Jun 7 2008, 02:54 PM']Thanks for the support boys

You know, I think what upsets me even more is his lousy spelling.... [/quote]


Syntax was poor as well.........
Matt.

perhaps you should meet up with him and practice the 'slap'
Cheeky sod that he is. There is a right way and a wrong way to have a conversation like that, and he was most ungentlemanly about it.

[OldGit]

I think he's asking you out for a date.

Ahhh so that's how it done eh.
I think you smell. Can I have a date too please? :brow:

[darwin]

Ha Ha, I know this guy ! He plays with the Groove Doctors based in Ipswich. I have to say that without a doubt he can play, no question about that but what a jerk.

He's part of a incestuous group of 'musos' that jump from band to band all the time trying to re-invent themselves but never coming up with anything new. Ipswich had a big blues scene about 15 years ago and these guys are the last of that (forgotten) generation of musicans.

Err.... yes. I couldn't help thinking that I might act like an idiot too if I thought it would get me closer to such a beautiful woman. Of course that was in my bachelor days, when my brains got turned to pulp by testosterone. Now they get turned to pulp by the kids.
