Mook Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I would like to publicly apologise to the bass playing community as during a wedding gig at the weekend I did indeed overplay. I was guilty on the evening of a flagrant use of 16th notes, slapping and harmonics. I know I have let down my fellow comrades with my lack of taste and subtly.........but I really enjoyed it and can't promise that I won't be doing the same next weekend!! Thank you for your time and understanding.....I am now at peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthurhenry Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm sure it was much appreciated by the wedding party and was the talk of the breakfast table the following morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oggiesnr Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) If you want OTT then I spent the weekend at the Valentines' Rock n Roller at Scarborough where on Sunday night Martyn Savage finished proceedings with this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7VZHorUS78 Mind you that was after he'd cleaned the blood of his bass, he'd lent it to Dave Phillips who shredded a couple of fingers during his set, a little blood goes a long, long way!

Everybody knows a marriage needs a strong foundation if it going to work , and that foundation is built on a good , solid no-frills bass line . If that marriage fails somewhere in the future then it may well be that your fancy finger work was the beginning of the end for them . Slapping and false harmonics are two of the most commonly cited reasons for divorce in Britain nowadays. Fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I hate to say it but the last few weddings I have been trying to recreate the wanton disregard for taste and decency shown by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZBic3nD5M0 ....I can't help but be inspired by him. Don't think I'm at the Korean transvestite level yet but a few more weddings and that could be me. Edited March 24, 2014 by icastle Link fixed.
