no bass for 4 months :(

[tiffles]

oli again i say thank you... still sorting out details for picking up...maybe friday eve if im not allowed to take the car on sat...

anyway... a cousin of the people who im working for has an accoustic guitar... after spending an hour on it. i suck. really bad. i cant pretend to be a guitarist. i cant even really play bass on it, i think ive forgotten all the music i used to know! i cant imagine what id be like after another few months. you are a life saver oli! hopefully you can teach me a thing or two aswell... i SO need it at the moment if im not to sit in the corner feeling sorry for myself lol. think i should push for getting my work done and coming on sat!

hurrah for oli and for the fact that i can play an ebmm even when im rubbish lol! i miss my bongo.

Hey Tiff, don't worry. Friday wouldn't work out because I want to attend a concert by a great Swiss singer and entertainer. But you're welcome to come by on the weekend. I'd be happy to check out some bass lines with you, e.g. Hysteria by Muse. Can't offer you a Bongo, but you can try to find out which StingRay you like best

Can't offer you a Bongo, but you can try to find out which StingRay you like best

Hint: the ordinal number which comes after "29th".

Thats a nice thing to do Oli, I always thought u had more didnt u have a few 100ths, a few 30ths and a lava HS?

 

[oli@bass]

True, at one time, for a very short period, I had 3 30ths and 2 100ths. Some where passing through... and some may still go... the Lava Pearl HS is played by Josh in the pics.

thanks to oli soo much for his generosity!! i have been playing a bit this week and its been so nice to have a real bass.... still getting used to the 4 string and one pickup thing he he...

just thought id add (if anyone is interested....) what i did after i visited oli it was a nice weekend

i drove to emmetten in this.... (its SO much fun) mini cooper s

went up the mountain in one of these...

and then took a few photos...

BP im SURE you and beth need to visit some stores in switzerland..... and aziah should fit in your hand luggage

ps...if anyone knows how to embed the images?... i cant do it with the links that picassa is giving me

Rob you are a legend!!

Tiff, I use picasa too, and what I have found to work is to use the link that shows up when you right-click on a photo in your album and select "properties". It will give you the full link there, and should end in ".jpg" (you might have to click on the link and scroll down/to the right to see/select the entire thing). To make sure it's the full-sized image, I always do this in the slide-show view. Otherwise, it can give you a link that includes a smaller/resized version of the pic.

BTW, great photos!
