Happy Jack Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Me, sometimes. Depends on whether or not my back is aching. I suppose that, if I had to choose one thing to have in common with Robert Fripp, it would probably be this. I'm not that fussed about awesome musicality, worldwide fame, an address book to die for, or dodgy facial hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've seen worse offerings from internationally acclaimed boutique bass builders, aesthetically speaking. I've actually played one and apart from being uncomfortable they're not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Nothing wrong with a Daisy Rock in my book. Unashamedly targeted at teenage girls and if this brand gets more girls out there taking up bass then that can only be a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the days when I still owned a TV if I was watching it, I was watching it and not doing anything else. If I wasn't watching it, the TV was either off or I was in another room doing something more constructive like practicing the bass or guitar standing up. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the daisy-shaped ones hanging in my local music shop years ago, and a mischievous part of me quite likes the butterfly design, and is wondering whether I could pull it off onstage. Ironically enough, I now find myself thinking, [i]hmm, but it's probably short-scale, isn't it? And I do look a bit silly with a short-scale bass on me...[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway - Daisy Rock, undoubtedly targeted at a young girly market - but I've been GASing for a shortscale for ages, and their Stardust Elite bass is unqualified top of my list. Say what you want....

[/quote] Good god man, it's not enough just to [i]say[/i] it; you have to start on the subject in which you question how anybody in their right mind can play their Rickenbacker standing up and without a music stand in front of them. If in doubt, question the parentage of anybody who says otherwise ([i]especially[/i] those who play with a music stand behind them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
