Tom Capasso Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 There will always be more depth for music theory. There will be new styles of music that we will discuss where the bass fits in. There will always be new gear There will always be new events in our musical (and our other) life that we will discuss. There will always be someone who couldn't find their slant to a topic in the search. There will always be someone who doesn't search Most of all, we've managed to attract some interesting folks here.

Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 ...and there will ALWAYS be a newbie with no clue as to how the search feature works or spelling errors that Bump can thrash. ...and there will ALWAYS be a bassist who thinks theory is unimportant for Jeremy to correct. ...and there will ALWYAS be love for Willy to spread. ...and there will ALWAYS be new bassist looking for a forum concurrance on what gear to buy. ...and, willing, there will ALWAYS be new gear, new gigs, new bandmates, new venues, new experiences, new lessons to share - for when there is nothing new to share, it is time to cash out and play that big gig in the sky.

Fred TBP Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Originally posted by TShakazBlackRoots: I was thinking to myself....what if we run out of what to discuss about the bass, what will happen to out forum? Or is it impossible for bass talk to run out? My brother, I waited, procrastinated, meditated and pontificated on this question for days. IMHO, bass talk will never run out in this century as we need to include other entities to our forum that are capable of communicating in bass frequencies. I'm referring to: -drummers and other percussionists who tune their drums to match bass notes (I know two in Northern NJ alone)... naturally, I meant evolved drummers, not the other kind we keep running into. -other sentient species on this planet, such as whales and dolphins, who may never pluck a string or hit a keyboard but communicate daily across the oceans of the world via sonar, essentially bass frequencies lower than ours. If we can use a pitch transposer and decipher their language, which is musical and lyrical in structure (look it up!) we as bass players may be able to accomplish dialogue that non-musical entities in scientific fields have failed to do. I recall a musician named Paul Horn who attempted to do this years ago. -extraterrestials, particularly the non-violent ones, who have probably communicated using low-frequency pulses which can span galaxies and who are probably wondering if we're even listening. -the planets and stars themselves. Our mother earth resonates at 8 Hz, and communicates frequently to us through natural phenomenon, but perhaps she may be speaking to us via frequency modulation and resonance? I hope you're laughing along with me, but remember, humor contains the seeds of truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Sweet Willie_ Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 A corndog is a hot dog (a.k.a. frankfurter, weiner, etc.) w/ a cornbread covering on a stick. Yummy. Really yummy. Better than a blood sausage -- as much as I like a blood sausage w/ a hearty mustard...but that's neither here nor there. Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.

Jimbroni Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Thats it we need to ship Alex south of the mason dixon line, get some Souuthern goodness in that belly. Some greens, cornbread, sweet potatoes, and make a stop in WV to get some biscuits and gravy made of lard. The kinda food that makes you sweat motor oil.

wraub Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 MMMMMMMMM... Biscuits and gravy, greens, and cornbread too? MMMMMMMMM... Alex- do you cook/bake for yourself (or have a friend for that?) Plenty of good recipes out there. You must try some. And, IMO, one of the few things that can improve a good dog, or really improve a bad one. All of the above has been tested for maximum beer compatability, with a high degree of tasty-ness. Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

saxofunk Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Alex, I'll be happy to host if you can make it to the Tulsa State Fair . (if the Flash works for you, that thing the pig eats is a corndog with a bit of mustard on it, but one should not eat the stick). Perhaps we can gather John S and Ransom and catch the Confunkshun show... or any number of country acts. We can introduce you to a proper corndog, fried Twinkies, and I understand they also offer fried Snickers. (ug!) - Matt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very tasty player, who actually played in the NFL (National Football League - American football). I think he carries all those hot dogs to rebuild his knees.
