Chris = Squire; Basses = Squier. That is all.

[discreet]

Yes, 'Squier'. But isn't it still pronounced 'squire'? Not 'skwee-er'?

[cloudburst]

Stop hijacking my thread. This is a spelling thread. If you want a pronunciation thread, start one of your own! :-) :-)

Bored of talking about = Fenders.

At least every squier I've played has been on par with every bass ever, should have saved all that money wasted and brought a lord.

Brought=fetched; bought=purchased. That suffices.

At least you spelled the word correctly.

[Grangur]

Your = statement of ownership. NOT "your a bass player" aaagggggghhhhhh!!
You're = abbreviation of "you are". As in "You're a bass player

There = as in "you left your bass over there".
Their = as in "their instruments were in the van over there when they got nicked"

See, it's easy. Now get it correct. Please. [size=4] [/size]

Also: they're = contraction of 'they are' e.g. 'they're still in the van'

Ahhhhh, , nothing like a healthy dose of grammar and spelling pedantry to get the juices flowing!

Really? I have records of his, i have been saying his name wrong... oh well.

[/quote]

Actually, you're right. It [i]is[/i] pronounced Skwire, but apparently he's been known to throw monstrous sh*t-fits if people pronounce it Skwee-er.

I was just trying to get the ball rolling again, if you see what I mean.

If you want to stick to Saxon or Anglo Saxon you will have to come and live in Newcastle or Northumberland. We still speak lots the original language and pronunciations. Geordie is not just an accent its a ancient language.

See also a French person trying to say "smooth."

(They get their own back by challenging us to pronounce "grenouille" correctly...)

[yorks5stringer]

'Bass' (musical instrument) pronounced 'Base'. Bass (fish) pronounced 'Bass'. Basswood pronounced 'Basswood' not 'Basewood'

Time for a Chris Squire Sig Squier!


Actually, to tell the truth, watching the progress of Gelfin's Chris Squire Mouradian replica on the Builds forum I'm sooooo very tempted to suggest to Andy that we do a replica of Chris' lost bass as one of his next Custom builds...
