Like Father like son

seriously? A BC'er posts a photo displaying not only two top quality basses (no matter what you think of the design) that he and his Dad have a common interest in and all we can do is take the piss?


Pffft.

I've seen no piss taking just forum members having a laugh, of course we are happy for Marcus but where's the fun in 50 posts saying 'nice basses mate' ?

Doesn't bother me too much. You can all say what you want, at least me and my old man share an interest and get on really well, that means me to me than all the bass guitars on the planet.

Great photo !!!

I prefer your dad's one really classy looking plus i'm a sucker for blue lights :-)

Do you both play similar styles and music?

That's the weird bit for people of my generation and older. Dads are supposed to say " That's not music , it's just a bloody racket. Frank Sinatra , that's music..." etcetera., not have a funked-up three hour Mark King slapathon with their son and then go buy out and buy a Status .

Someone was talking on Basschat a while ago about their grandparents taking them to an Iron Maiden gig ! The world has changed , and I feel lost in it . Having said that , Marcus is of the age that he could be my son , so we could have the same common interest , but if he lived under my roof , bass or no bass, that hair and the sleeveless t -shirt would have to go., I'm afraid.

Your dad looks a bit like Ross Kemp, and that photo is crying out to be used in a caption competition .[/quote]Could be worse. My Dad looks like Regan from the Sweeney and has no interests in common with me, in fact I'd go as far as saying he despises musicians :-(

Besides, if you think this is taking the piss, you should have been around here when I asked for some hairdressing advice...

Sorry, I was a bit tired last night. Let me rectify the situation:

It says an hour but it's an hour and 8 SECONDS, you have ruined this heart warming thread.

That is genuinely brilliant, and it IS a really great pic, by the way. Apologies if I caused offence. No malice intended!

Well done mate, I can relate to this. My dad got me into music and and soon as I could play a few notes on the bass I was actually drafted into his band. I played in the same band with him for about 6 years and I felt very privileged to get on with him so well at an age when most of my friends hated their parents.....teenagers and their angst!!

Love the basses too, prefer yours though.

I would sell my left nut for a KingBass. Your dad's one has the kind of wood I'd go for, but I'd have to have white LED's. That's a great photo, if you have a twitter account you should tweet it to MK himself, I reckon he'd be well impressed with that.

Good call, chief.

Did he teach you to play, or did you arrive at it for yourself?

Probably best not to put ideas like that into Marcus' head...

Nice one Marcus, enjoy your new bass. Hold on to it too, if it's your dream one then getting rid of it will be a decision you'll always regret.
