Current E.C Regulations clearly state that slap solos[u] must [/u]be accompanied by a mandatory mullet hairstyle. This Health and Safety legislation is intended to warn any potential audience that there is the very real risk of unexpected exposure to the 1980's.

I cannot help but notice that you are based in the Liverpool area, and therefore there is actually a very real possibility that you are already sporting such a hairstyle, but if for any reason your hairstyle has deviated from the local norm , I would suggest getting extensions at the first possible opportunity to avoid future prosecution . There are orange-coloured women working in hair salons all over the city that will be able to help you with that . (And before anyone gets offended, can I just add the disclaimer that mullets are also available in other cities across Britain.)

EDIT: I found this clip on You Tube of a young bass player complying with all the current dress code and male grooming regulations regarding overly self-indulgent bass guitar playing :

OMG! That's me!

Jokin'

I've had the odd shameful hair style in my time but NEVER anything as bad as that, never, ever, never.

PS: I may live in Merseyside but I'm originally from Essex…………. That probably doesn't move me up in anyones estimation.

Essex =mullet central !

Essex was also a hotbed of would-be fancy Dan bass players back in the day, probably due to the enduring popularity of funk ,soul and R&B music in that part of the world. I can see now how you probably couldn't help yourself and those triplets just spontaneously and involuntarily cascaded from your thumb. Secondary schools in Essex probably offer a G.C.S.E in Level 42,

Bass player from Essex = slap.

I wasn't good enough to take the G.C.S.E in Level 42.

I sat the C.S.E in Kajagoogoo

Wrong thread to be reading whilst chatting to my bandmates about our showmanship on stage.

Until you start dressing like the Korean Transvestite Bassist, know that there is always someone more flamboyant at 16th notes and slapping than you

Never mind apologising to your fellow bass players, it's the married couple you should be asking for forgiveness.

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.

Marriage is very like basing playing. A bit of harmony never goes amiss, however sometimes the only answer is a good slap when she's overfretting.

Anyone who starts a post with "well I say" is definitely on the wrong forum. Try posting here old boy, I think you'll find you are much more at home.
