[quote="lee_UK"]Can i just add one thing? the % thing was a joke, somebody clearly stole the 9v PP9 from your humour pedal, thats the small brown one you use at the end of the pedal chain marked 'Anal' im not a twit, there is no need for insults as i have not insulted you, as bass said technique greatly effects tone, and please dont insult me again. ive just listed some things that effects tone.[/quote]
Yes Lee, it was a joke.
90% of the people following this would respect you much more if you simply admitted your, er......miscalculation. |

Oh the "twit" was an insult? I thought it was a signature.
Well I have to get back to playing Layla on my sister in law's banjo. Sounds just like Clapton (would sound if he was me and playing a banjo). |

Yes, I can appreciate how you would get confused easily. Banjo players can't work with more than four strings. |

I couldn't resist the jibe. I don't see what you were getting all worked up about. If you are right, then what difference does it make if someone disagrees? If his arguments are weak or non-existant, then all the better for your side. It seems to me that you wanted to hear someone say "uncle."
I think it is silly to apply percentages to this kind of stuff. What you are calling 'tone' is something separate and distinct in my mind from technique and style. It is what one looks for when choosing and configuring equipment. So, I think I agree with you, to some extent. However, I also think that technique and style contribute as much or more to the overall sound. I think that one is more likely to sound like Clapton if one plays with similar technique and style on much different equipment (but not a banjo) than one is if he plays the exact same setup without the technique and style. I can't put a percentage to it. |

From your join date, I'm more inclined to believe you are 1bassleft, who, not wishing to compromise his good relationship with Lee by expressing his real opinion, has simply joined under another name. |

| Nope. I haven't owned a bass in over 30 years and I don't have one left. I don't have a banjo either. |

"RayC = 1Bassleft"
Can I just say, Wasp, you make a lousy f***ing copper? Try checkng the previous posts of Ray and myself. You have now made yourself a total turd. God knows how you scraped 29 years service. Sorry, I have just lost patience with this "detective" refugee from the West Midlands, SPG, 159mph "testing his Vectra" always-in-the-right nark.

Maybe the moderator should step in to reassure Mr. plod that ray and Bass are in fact 2 different people, Wasps 90-10 argument is gradualy running out of steam, the end of the road is approaching fast, he has tried varioust tactics including the old quote quote and quote again to try and keep this thread alive, but all he has done is to back himself into a very small corner and send us all to sleep, and then trys to gain respect by giving us his long service in the plod quote, if this is what the police does to you, all i can say is thank god im a high court judge!  |
