Hi, All. Currently I'm in the 920's for posts. If you can guess when I'll hit 1000 posts, I'll mail you 2 CDs from my last two musical projects, TUTH and Gods of Perception.:) I play bass and do production and mixing for the projects, and that's all I'll say.

You are a bassist? Wow, I am trying to restrain myself from getting off topic now.:mad:

Aww the heck with it. I just started on bass about four months ago and got me a brand spankin' new Fender American hot-rodded P-bass with a sunburst finish and mahogany fretboard. The action is so buttery and the sound is so mellow I want to cry. I know my major scales now and can find any note on the fret board. Working on arpeggios now. I can't get enough o' that funky stuff, and heros like James Jamerson, Les Claypool and Flea will inspire me to become a passable bassist soon. Also I can wear a sock on my cock in public and no one will be surprised.:D :D

My guess is 2:00 AM, October 6, 2002.

Edit changed September 6 to October 6. Silly me; wrong month.
 
Cool. I've been playing since 1988. Sounds like we have som musical tastes inn common. That first track on Californication is some classic bass playing by flea.

The Fender American Standard P-Bass (lefty) was my latest bass purchase. my First bass, whichI still own is a 1973 Rickenbacker 4001 lefty. Pretty rare bass it turns out, and I got it for a song...

Also own protptype AEB-1, a custom Ampeg lefty, serial #010, Made by Bruce Johnson.

I've been playing bass about 18 years also. I perform on an Ibanez 5-string and a DeVilli 3/4 upright acoustic, but my pride-n-joy is a '78 American made P-bass. :D

Gig money keeps me in khuks!
 
being taken over by bass-carrying khukrists, or is that khukri-carrying bassists? Or Khukassits? Bhuks? bluhkis?

What if he gets to 999 and hovers there for a couple of weeks by not posting?

I play the electric triangle, but not very well. I'm either too early or too late. :(
 
Cool Raghorn. Come here with khuks in common, and invariably find other insteresting things in common.

"What if he gets to 999 and hovers there for a couple of weeks by not posting?"--I'll let you in on a little secret, Bruise. I originally started this post as a joke, the joke being that I can control the outcome by my posting habits, making it pretty much my choice who and when would win.

But sinced folks played along, I feel duty bound to deliver. Closest guess wins, I'll just continue to "post normally"

Does belching count as a musical talent:D In all actuality used to play a few instruments in the past, but now I only own guitars (my bass kinda exploded on itself):rolleyes: Anyhoo my guess for Ferrous's 1000 post is sometime around that time of day.:eek: :confused:
 
Just to make it fair for those who got responses in early. Post before midinte Indiana time or forever hold your tongue.

Philthy-
James Jamerson may be the all around most tasteful bassist I have ever heard.......forget the rest, he was playing acoustic bass in the late 50's with more soul than the rest you mentioned ever knew existed. A truly great musician who could probably have played with any symphony going, at least according to a few people I knew way back when that worked with him. Don't let the magazines get you caught up in the equipment thing; its' all in the hands extending from your soul. He truly exhibited the 3 T's: timing, taste, & tone. The only bassists I ever heard that might be up there in his class, besides Ray Brown, were Walter Page, Ron Carter & Richard Davis. Davis & Carter both play more advanced ideas, but do it from the heart. Page was a fourth of the finest rhythm section known to man. It don't get any tighter than what he & the other three put together. There ain't nothing no better when the pocket is tight.
