What a staggering forum...
Being a bass player, I was always heavily into Beck (one of my greatest contemporary inspirations), NIN, Air or Goldfrapp to name a few, well before knowing you existed, so discovering a common denominator to all these bands was like "Aha! I knew there was some order in the universe". Reading through this forum was like a breath of fresh air, informative, down to earth and funny. Not to mention the common influences plus the pisstake on bass masturbation, slapping tapping etc... It felt like coming home.
Anyway, massive massive thanks for sharing your great karma/energy. Being the way you are, you'll never be alone on this or any other planet, had you chose to move.
Just realized I maybe sounding like a sci-fi nutter...
Also thanks to everyone else who contributed, there's been loads of valuable info from you that I used in my work.
I hope this whole post don't look pretentious to me in 2 weeks time, it really was an impulse.
PS.
Justin, how do you pull this? I mean touring the world, running a family, doing sessions and hosting the coolest bass thread on the web. Something isn't right... I mean seriously, what planet are you from ?
Thank you man :)
