mcnach Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 [quote name='spyder' timestamp='1426937873' post='2723656'] Come on. Stop this childish posting and go and play your bass. Someone lock this thread. [/quote] why lock it? I am having a look and don't like the thread (I don't care for Ricks, but Rick threads are sometimes amusing to watch ) but... why lock it? Don't like it? Don't read it. Sorry, I am not saying this as a personal attack but I have seen recently a few comments on other threads along the same lines "lock the thread"... I say let people discuss whatever they please. If they are not interesting threads I'll move on, but let those who want to stay in them do so.

The Badderer Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 ^^^ Fair point. I guess it's a choice, some would prefer to lock the thread when they can see the topic is going nowhere healthy, others see where it goes freedom of speech etc. nothing bad seems to have happened so far....

Woodinblack Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 [quote name='Bronner' timestamp='1426935143' post='2723586'] I'm not incensed at all if people like Rickenbackers. I'm quoting myself, because there's a tendency for people like you to fabricate quotes here.

Woodinblack Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1426960551' post='2724118'] And there really isn't a secret BC fifth column, diligently beavering away to protect & promote that nice Mr Hall's business interests.

skankdelvar Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) We're losing our touch on BC. A few years ago, if some attention-seeking nutter newb had popped up here causing a fuss and rowing with people in a desperate attempt to punt a 20 year-old bee-in-the-bonnet grudge we'd have given him a slap and sent him on his way. Nowadays we gather round and dab these peoples' temples with eau de cologne and sing Kumbayah and reassure them that 'It's OK, everybody's entitled to their opinion' because BC is where everybody's view matters. Face facts: a 'Septic' poser who's not been here long enough to wipe his arse has managed to get us to take him remotely seriously for 7 whole pages. And I say that bowing to no man in my disdain for RIC Corporation This is what 13 years of socialism gets you. An inability to know when someone's having you over.

jezzaboy Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I hate hob nobs. Anyone who likes hob nobs is a muppet and you are being ripped off if you buy them.

MoonBassAlpha Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that the o.p.'s opinion seems to be based on a sample of one... I guess we passed that phase a few pages ago and got to the "discussing o.p's mental state stage", as per usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankai Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) I used to work in a large guitar shop, and I got to play around with every high end brand bass there is. There were only ever two basses that stood out and made me wish I had the money to buy them. One was a Sandberg VM5, the other was a Rickenbacker 4001. I ran all these basses through the same amps, same cables etc so Rick must have done something right. Other brands I had used were Fender, Sadowsky, Lakland, G&L, Ibanez, Gibson, et al.
