silverfoxnik Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 [quote name='Josh' post='275122' date='Sep 2 2008, 12:30 AM']May I present, Brian Fox: I advise that there should be no mugs/jugs/cups/vases/pint glasses of coffee near the monitor or keyboard whilst watching.[/quote] Thanks Josh - that was hilarious! I kept flicking the clips backwards and forwards and it sounded like he was playing the same riff at each point so I hate to think what a whole gig of it would sound like. He looks like the bass playing equivalent of The Big Lebowski; imagine Jeff Bridges playing a sad loser of a bluesman/bassplayer frontman who doesn't realise just how awful he and his band is?? But as the saying goes, truth is always stranger than fiction and it looks like Brian Fox is proof of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Scott Thunes. And John McCoy. And Rob Wright. And Steve Harris. Why did I buy a bloody Jazz? Jazzes, that's it - totally over-rated if you ask me.

An old TRB for a couple of hundred quid starts to look like a good deal.[/quote] someone on here is selling an rbx765 for only 150ish....beautiful bass, absolute steal! too bad i bought my yamaha new - it's worth about a fiver [quote name='alexclaber' post='276030' date='Sep 3 2008, 09:18 AM']Overpriced, silly snake oil claims, dubious business practices, and the oversized 1/4" plugs have a horrible habit of breaking jack sockets. Alex[/quote] my personal favorite was when they released two instrument cables, one for "jazz" and one for "rock". All else aside, a good cable should be competely transparent... ...but i suppose i should stop now, before they SUE me for something, like they have everyone else...

tauzero Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Bodyless basses (eg. Hohner B2, Steinberger cricket bats). Completely the wrong body shape for those of us of A Certain Shape. Bowlback acoustics (incl. basses). Even worse for those of us of A Certain Shape, just try balancing beach balls on top of each other and you'll get my drift.

I love this thread and I can only +1 to: GAS Ashdown Yamaha Rotosound (YUK!) Ampeg Anything made by Warwick since 1990 A couple of my own: Spectre basses er....(ducks) Foderas But I'll have to disagree with the Sei Jazz basses - as first off I've just ordered one - and secondly they don't have to sound 'clean and polite' - I'm sure they can sound downright rude and nasty if you want them to - it's all in the fingers...
