And if you were blinded you wouldn't post and then I'd have to do real work around here.

If you use that as your avatar you'll gather men faster than I seem to gather women round here. And I'd dribble on my keyboard

(what cnut said "mor than usual?" ?)

BTW those Aria's are knock off yamaha's I THINK.

Oh man! My buddy in high school took apart his mail-order bass from JC Penney and hand-made a Gene Simmons "Axe Bass" body out of a piece of wood, then painted it black and silver. Now that's pathetic.

But then again, I was his best friend in high school, so I guess that makes me sub-pathetic.

I know they're not cool anymore but I really wish I had a Steinberger headless.

Or just some head.

The thread has now successfully been transformed into a gearporn thread!

Pathetic by association!

I was in a Heart coverband. It could be worse.

I used to nick a hohner copy for the studio sometimes. Not quite as punchy when funked as the real deal. But really nice bass, and still on my "if I see one cheap when I'm in shoppin mode" list. Only things I could never cope with but were the odd balance on a strap ( not wrong, just odd) and my hand flying right off the end of the fucker when I went for the 1st fret :D

As promised...... French Tony's bass

his aint actually there as it's a custom 6 string job, but you get the picture.

Not a terrible fan of uprights, put off by trying to get an audible note out of a 3/4 scale in school I think.

And yes...they are for fucking j**z cunts.

And for once none of us are responsible, it's purely Jack's doing.

Don't suppose anyone else seen the transducer basses on ebay made out of bog-seats?

the mouse hovered over Buy It Now I can assure you.

Can you imagine if this place was run like one of those ultra anal weirdo forums (not that there's anything wrong wth slackware as a distro you understand[1])...Wen And nic and oldmokey and all the other admins would be on the same sort of career trajectory as air traffic controllers....straight to hell and grey hair by 35 :) I don't remember a topic ever not strolling off on it's own cos of randomness. we usually come back tho. It's kinda like an internet version of Billie Connolly :D

[1]that's for Melly alone....rest of you ignore.

I got sent a link to something reminscent of that bass. Tempting, tempting.

Yeah, but most slackhead's have their ego so far up their corned hole that they can't even see for their own BS they pipe out hourly on their message groups.

Nothing like a good old fashioned nix penis debate of elitism.

Off the side, looking at Jack's site he's got a picture of Boosty Collins and I'm thinking - that guy's been taught right. All hail anyone under the age of 20 who even knows of Bootsy, let alone pimps them proudly!

I saw one of those Zon basses the other day when out shopiing (because I always make a point to go to a music store as my final wind down), and it caused a pull in a nether region. Salesguy wouldn't let be bring it down, because it was on reserve for another customer, but he played me a track of his that he did as a demo for the product and I felt very warm and wiggly like I was sinking to the floor.

strap on sex

I dunno if any or all of these are still made at louden's plant down the road from me, but they were protoyped there. as a publicicty thing they brought a 4 and a 5 string over to college....u know, pics of tutor and adoring students with shiny new locally built megabass. Tutor grabed the 5 string and i just stood and gaped at him like, you KNOW I'm the only other bassplayer in the room, give me the other one (yes, they'd got a tutor there, but not the bass class, apart from 7-9 on wednesdays was me...being the only fulltimer music student in it). So he took pity and let me have it.

bout 4 seconds after i'd hung it on me and plugged up I was glaring at him with a look that just said "you fucker".

he'd always banged on and on about how the bass itself is only 10% of the sound and rest's in your fingers. LYING TWAT! It may be true if you're choosing between two expensive kick ass basses. But if you set down an aria proII SLB-II[1] that you love with all your heart, and pick up a £3000 or something Goodfellow. Now way. My finger blasted up and down the thing like Victor feckin Wooten..and the tone....good lord the tone...it was blissful. One day I WILL buy a nice bass promise...but every time I start thinking about it I feel SO sorry for the Aria, that I start to think about having it rebuilt properly by a bass guru...then I get confused and buy something stupid instead.

Two Q's Melly....you have msn (or somthing...I think Gaim can do the lot)? cos my next line of questioning is much too sick and perverse for the ears here gathered...you should be able to guess by it being the only bit of your post I didn't reply to.

Jack....what's the score with the neck pickup in Hot and/or Hot1...I swear on some recent videos it looks like either the neck pickup's been yanked out and the gape taped over....OR there's tape over the pickup to stop strings whacking poles. Or am I seeing things? (I refer you to my previous avatar for all enquiries about my sight)

[1] sort of a cover version of the series Jack's bass belongs to. Passive and with cheaper electronics. and made of russian ply. I assume the Yamaha's are actual solids.

And to think I'd not posted since I first got this account several years ago. I've made up for lost time, surely.

Seems to be back to 146....oh dear....look who's second.

MUUUSSSSSST SLEEEEEEP

I blame Jem and Sam,Bonzette(who it turns out is madder than a march hare who was a woodstock) and (the relatively dormant just now) Maya....they're all too friendly and too entertaining....and GNU's right, there's 24hr cool chick coverage here now, each time I sleep I'll be pissed off that I'm missing out.

You fucking cheek! Only just seen this young Steve. I'm as sane as they come. thanks very much!

Steve:

Just added you on MSN. I think I've probably just done set myself up for daily stomach issues because I know you'll be keeping me up with some sort of madhattery.

It's not fair that gears is just so sex.

hey it's abuse Steve night even that fecker Jack's been at it, tho in fairness I've given the poor sod dog's abuse so it's only right :)

What's funnier is that meely's run a fookin mile since I sais msn :0 I only wanted to talk l*n*x.....and yes dear hearts. there is a limit of off topic that even i consider too far. :D

Better Idea actually would be...Melly ...nuttsack thread if you wanna tux out. Then Bonzette can enjoy too ( I think she's some sort of geekspotter)

Hook minor, I want 500 words on those pickups and 600 on WTF that strange hairy lookin blue bass is about, by this time tomorrow. ;)

/me sits back and waits on the reply Jack will send... which will be EXACTLY 1098 words short of the requested total :D

You'll be lucky if he types ta all and doesn't just send you a picture of his middle digit.

I think you're gonna live to regret adding steve to your msn...

he seems to like you

LOL...how'd you do that. Between me clicking on the thread and it loading in my browser you'd snuck in here.

Actually, we decided to do it in public for all your benefit.

Besides, eye popping and delicious as she is, she's taken, she's fookin miles away, and I am, or at least try to be, a perfect gentleman.

Anyway, have you been reading the awesome works of Missy Jem. that chick is MY kinda mental :D

OK, I'll settle for one word on the pickups....am i seeing things?

No comment.

(Just to annoy you )

Tosser :D

Mr. Campbell has become a master of the pickup on this forum.

well, at least now everyone has fair rights to msn-ing me, since I've got that screenname up and running. Yes, Jack, even you can add me and pester me if ever needed.

now that that is all sorted....

what were we trying to talk about again?

fucking unnatural so it is. All the men where these babes are from must be the most miserable bunch of fuckers on Earth....all I have to do is say something funny and women notice me here. mad one. Texas hmmmmm....Bolton...hmmmm Stoke hmmmmm Siberia (via belgrade)...london.. are all these places full of grey men who's idea of the very epitome of humour is you've been framed...once a week for one hour and that's quite enough laughin for me

I've forgotten.....but it'll come to me....I'm just redisovering food after 30 hours. not going too well, but it will enable me to get more painkillers in....and revitalilze me for more bollox talk with you my sweet.

Jack don't do it, she may be so gorgeous she's painful to look at (did you look at "being cute", if not, let me reccomend it as an internet hi-lite of the year)....but she can talk bollox even I don't get....And he BF's from texas too...almost certainly heavily armed :D

oh, he's not in texas. no guns, either. but he's got biting sharp wit!

and I've changed the nick on here, so everyone can just get used to calling me melly. more natural that way.

That's two votes for "Being Cute."

I'm gonna take off my pants now, 'cause that's more natural.

you're as bad a net tart as Maya, or me for that matter :)

Oh good grief, mental images that'll make a gal turn red.

Medic!

Pretty spiff site, Jack. If the band thing doesnt work out, look into web design.

By the way, I agree with you about 'Land Down Under' being a song of grace and pure class.

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Land Down Under rocks!!

I only found out about it when i walked into my form room and my history teacher was playing it respectably loud through the dvd player in the classroo. he's a cool guy.

I'm pretty bored at the moment, just playing along to Jeremy by Pearl Jam on my bass, its such an amazing song i love it!!
