>>>Um....I was a language teacher.

A linguist in fact!

You're the only exception Jack

But were you a cunning linguist?

Nope, sorry, English and journalism teacher here.

How many here have been to Jub's School of Punctuation and Spelling?

Or Jub's School of Deciphering and for People Who Want to learn to do Other Things Too?

The issue I have with people that write poorly is that I have to work too hard to understand what it is they're trying to get across. Everybody makes typos, but there seem to be some hardcore individuals who simply refuse to even attempt to write clearly. My online philosophy has always been that if the writer has so little regard for how he comes across to the readers and so little regard for how difficult it is to read his post, then why should I take anything he has to say seriously. As an astute member of this and other forums so eloquently put it (though it was in relation to another topic): it seems more a matter of will than a lack of ability to write correctly.

Have you had a close look at your post. You're not exactly an English Prof. None of us are

Rodtrussbroken you are absolutely right. I actually looked at it afterwards and realized if I was going to be calling someone on their grammical errors I should not make any myself.

Ok so you and Mobay have made me feel like crap about my email. I take it back.-- oh yea, can't take it back.

Anyhow:

Mike- I have decided that I have become a fan of your posts . Please continue as you were. Your posts are sortof like Bongos- an aquired taste.


I took a seminar in college on William Faulkner (as well as a class on the British Post Modernists (James Joyce) and have always been fascinated by stream of consciousness writing-- which is what your writing essentially is. (note ending sentence in preposition is bad.)

As a relative newbie I'm not sure if I can welcome you to the forum, but I look forward to reading more of your posts, as well as hearing more about your forays into amateur bass electronic engineering.

>>>>agian, I'm not trying to be mean but your posts are kindof hard to understand, and it would be in your best interest to use punctuation so you can get your point across.

Let's Zip it.

I thought he made his points quite well.

thanks ROD maybe he dont know sigh laungauge then he would see there is no punctuation any way i do have the bass but no pictures and im not sure how to post a picture on line im thinking the J bass wireing would be the exact way to wire it up though im haveing a hard time finding a (capaseter ) im not sure what voltage it would be? and where to solder it can you help me with that ?. thats all i need to finish it up .and be cool there just trying to keep me posting i think thats how these fourms work and if he dont like it then why on earth read it right ! thanks michael

Michael, if you haven't been to Stewart MacDonald's website yet, you should. See if this link helps.

By the way, you didn't live in Maryland years ago, did you?

 

[michael carr]

Um....I was a language teacher.

But hey, as long as we're playing (or working on or lusting for) Stingrays and Sterlings and, of course, Bongos.....well, really, I can't say I won't ever say anything (looking at Jubs), but I shall endeavor to curb my desire to correct errors and instead simply revel in the warmth of Our Mutual Bass Admiration Society.

Welcome aboard, Mike!

thanks bovinehost

Mike-

how severe is your hearing loss? Have you had this your whole life?

From your post I take it you know and use sign language?

I am curious as to how you play guitar if you cannot hear- and I say that with the utmost honesty and curiosity.

[midopa]

Mike is the super musician. He detects the notes with the vibrations his guitar gives off! Whoa!!!

 

[uvapete]

a human piezo?

 

[midopa]

Ain't he grand?!

 

[uvapete]

I am a fan.

he does seem like a really interesting person.

pete i have had this disability almost 35 years its severe enough to stop me but i wont quit , i play through a marshall valvestate vs 265 . and yes i do know sigh but not all of it well like i said i read alot watch people play out and learn from books and cds . im curently working on some recordings of my songs thats right my songs i drilled the 5 open chord shapes and learned the bare chords and played scales in each position all over the neck for 2 years playing those by memory every day ! hell i know the lead to fade to black all of it but im not up to speed thats ok we all have our limits and tabs work for alot of people . ive become a big fan of a friend who once told me hes a beliver of applyed theory s are you ? and i am a moderator for these guys because they think i can help a lot of people who dont know how to play or set goals to gain success in music i post a lot of helpfull topics for both guitar and bass players and if i mess up they help me correct it so its understandable its mainly because i take interest in what i practice and play im currently useing pentatonics in the modes im useing and its cool but i never invented it ! it was a sort of a show you how its done in basics but me i just gotta further it in all keys to use it properly and i do this on paper and pencil to futher my knowledge to help others and my grammer will inprove sometime i love music like all of you guys thanks michael.
