Does anyone agree with me when i say fieldy is an annoying prick?

i was chattin to my mates and they said that Fieldy was more innovative and inspirational than FLEA and LES CLAYPOOL and TIM COMMERFORD......

This has been covered a million times.
Do a search and see how many closed threads you can find on it.

Well, I dislike 18 year old, narrowminded people who think they need to put others down to make themselves come out as better players.

Pollock didn't use paint and canvas the conventional way, but started a whole new revolution in modern day painting.

Painting is an art, music is an art. Open your mind.

Korn and Fieldy aren't quite my cup of tea, but at least they deserve respect as an artist.
Same thing goes for people who play p-bass with a pick.

first of all...im 17 and im not making myself out to be better than fieldy or p-bass pick players...im just saying that playing a p-bass with a pick is a bit sterotypical....i just think that p-basses are tonally challenged and are only good for rock and punk....and i am open minded...how many 17yo's can do you know that listen to charles mingus, frank sinatra, bach, rhcp, primus, tool, joe satriani, meshell ndegeochello, dean martin, diana krall, led zeppelin, jaco, weather report, u2, parliament, funkadelic, bootsy collins, Vince Guaraldi or chick corea...

im just stating my opinion that fieldy is a wanka and that the p-bass is a toneless waste of money....and jaco can be wrong about that

prolly most of us here! welcome to the world of well versed bass players. not so out of the ordinary for any musican to listen and respect the above bands. your just a regular 17 yr old who enjoys muic other than top 40. at your age we all strived to be different/unique, but in this forum I think it would be different and unique if you where to rip some Bach or Jaco on a pbass with a pick, then you'd have my respect.

well last year for my HSC (Higher Schools Cert) final music exam i played 4 pieces....2 solo and 2 group

in order
1. Easily - RHCP
2. Higher Ground - RHCP
3. The Awakening - Les Claypool
and of course
4. Portrait Of Tracy - Jaco

And the way its marked is 70% Performance - 30% theory/Sitten exam and i scored 89%

i just think that there are better basses (tonally) than the P-bass, i respect its part in Bass history i just think that its time to move over for better basses, such as the kubicki's and musicman and sasdowsky's

pretty expensive basses for a 17 year old. Wish i had your kind of bank to be able to afford a sadowsky or a kubicki. I am only eighteen and i could not afford one of those till i graduated from college.

whatever floats your boat man, if you don't like Pbasses my recomendation to you would be to not play Pbasses and not belittle the instrument because you dont like it.

i own a kubicki and a sadowsky is soon to come....but my point is why pay $3500aus for an american series p-bass which to me is tonally useless when i paid $2000aus for my kubicki exfactor which was stu hamms....the kubickis are more tonally versatile and more comfortable to play than a p-bass....why pay that much to play something that is not good to do some slap or tap on when i paid almost half that for something which can do basically anything?

its just rediculous that fender can charge that much for something for something that is only good for two styles of music IMO...

as ive said im only speaking my opinion....im taking my own way and not following trends or fashions...of course the kubicki's were trendy in the late 80's but no-one play's them now...they are the best sounding basses ive played and no-one plays them..it makes no sense...today its all about fasion not what sounds good...i wish some people would wake up to themselves....
im not directing this to anyone im just speaking my mind....bass/music is my religeon and i just want to be heard

Okay - maybe your right. I'd prefer a Musicman, but really which ever you want to buy me will be fine. If you're not buying, then I guess I'll keep playing my (fake) P-bass and dreaming of the day that I can afford a real MIM P-bass.

I don't like condescending arrogant little rich kids, regardless of what type of bass they play or what technique they use.
