When that happens to me, I think I can hit the back button and my text is still there. Not that it'd be bad if some of my posts got lost that way, but still.

That sucks! I am eager to hear some NAMM stories!
Sometimes, when I go to insert a smilie, the text disappears!
Now when I am typing a lengthier message, I will paste it into a word processor before I hit the little smilie button....
A bug in the system and/or my browser, I guess...

This is one of the truly frustrating things in life... But usually only happens to each of us once.
Large posts start in Notepad these days - good ol' cut & paste.

If you would like to make sure this doesn't happen again, click the box labeld "Remember Me" under the log in form and that will give you a session cookie good for a very long time.

I've got friends that can tell you 'Nam stories.
I wrote so many great things... and so eloquently. Now it's all going to sound like crap. And I hate repeating myself.
Best part for me, aside from the show we did, was meeting some cyber friends and knowing that they really exist. It was cool to see Steve (not licking anything), Beth, Brian, Derick, a bunch of people from talkbass. Spent some time talking with Patrice (Vigier, overseas EB guy) who I think is one of the sweetest guys I've met. I was bummed that I didn't get to meet the only guy in all of NAMM that I'd have been starstruck from, BP. My timing was just off. I got to see the back of his head though.
Walked about a collective 75 miles in 4 days, next time I'm wearin sneakers. Bought an acoustic 5 string for about a quarter of the list price on the last day, one of the Vigier guys was kind enough to take care of shipping it to me, and had a couple of other really nice things happen that I don't want to write about at the moment.
Main thing I ranted about in the original post was how my spirit was changed by the musicians present. I learned that there is no shortage of guitarists and basists that can play a blizzard of notes in a 16th of a second. 1st day there I was incredibly humbled and kinda just wanted to toss my bass and become a garbage collector or postal worker. Second day, the amount of people showing off started to gnaw at me. By the third day I had it, and I started to realize some stuff. Most of the lblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblbhippityippityippity playing that these tremendous players do - leaves me ice cold. Until this trip, I aspired to be one of those guys - and I'm glad I've sort of regrounded myself. I will never be able to play like most of them, and (sour grapes aside) I honestly don't want to. I'd much rather work on being able to give memorable live performances, and play and record music that can get inside someone's ribcage and stay with them for a while. I'd much rather listen to "If There's Love" by Citizen Cope (a song I just found with MeShell Dignecglddladgnecello on bass) than any of those guys that can play 1000 notes a second.
Yeah - I said that all so much more nicely this morning. I'm sure I just pissed someone off now.
Anyhow... lots of little stories I could tell - but fer now I'll just post a pic. Oh yeah - thanks for the pics Steve, and again - it was great meeting you.

The back of his head is really nice.
Good for you. There's nothing wrong with a very nicely played bass line, but we were talking about this the other day - thwaketa thwaketa whaketat ploing snap thwaketa - and after a while, the sound of strings bouncing off the board begins to sound like birdshot thrown down a freakin' stairwell.
I'd rather hear "I'll Take You There", thanks, than Wooten or Marcus Miller thumbing half a bazillion notes. If I want to watch someone wanking, it should at least be a hot girl. I mean, I know a lot of the guys here admire that 'mastery' of the instrument, and that's fine. I'm sure Wooten and Miller worked very hard to be able to play all those notes in such a really short period of time.
Again - give me "Come Together" by the Beatles, if you would, and I won't begrudge you whatever you like.
It just doesn't float my boat. Tony Levin? Yeah. I bet he can play a lot of notes when he wants to, but he's so supremely aware of what works.
Please don't tell me I'm wrong or think I'm trying to start a flame war. I say again, if Wooten makes you happy, then I am glad Wooten is there for you.
If you did, I probably reinforced it, heh heh.
Sounds like you had a good time. Wish I could have been there for you, man.
I owe you that much after all that torture for so long.

Make that a "+2" for the "rarely venture beyond the 8th note" crowd!
When I was much younger, I played with a pick and worked so hard at trying to play fast...
When I came back to the bass 6 years ago, I decided it was the fingers that do the talking, and I decided it was more important to "speak" articulately than “speak” fast.
I permits people to better understand what I'm trying to say!
