Good afternoon Katie. I am also in London. Welcome to the forums
I see you own a Yammy Silent Bass. Did you go to the demo by Chris Minh Doky a couple of weeks ago at Chappels on Wardour St? |

Welcome..

When you get the chance, read the Bull Pit 'Down here' thread and tell me if it's entertaining for you at all. If so, send Peter a PM and ask him to come back and to remember that there is now a lady present. It was a bit off the hook before but just a bit on the edge, not too far..lol |

Sorry, it was just a guess since your Web Photo and Avatar look fairly different to me I though maybe that was a shot of you a few years back.

I think the prices quoted by some retailers in London take the proverbial sometimes. I tend to be fairly aggressive when it comes to negotiation, but it also helps to run a bass forum where people express their opinions about retailers like the Bass Centre, Bass Gallery, Bass Cellar and others quite freely. Not that I get preferential treatment from those retailers, but they seem a little more prepared to take me seriously when I moan about the prices! Why did you choose to play bass? I note from your website that you grew up in Hampshire like me - did you go to school in Winchester? Last edited by Steve_M; 05-15-2007 at 04:57 PM. |

Just warning the young lady of her surroundings... Katie is one of the best Classical players we have here on the Forum and is developing into becoming a top Pro in that field. Lets show a little respect for those that take the Bass as serious as it should be taken to reach that level. Richard, this is Ken's Corner, not the Men's Room! |

I think you misunderstood me, that was exactly my point!
(read my last post) I consider myself a gentleman, especially when I talk to ladies. Whether they are good at the bass or not is irrelevant to me. This is why I used the metaphor of the hi-hat. |

Just read a few recent posts by you in a few other threads. Some of which I hope she doesn't read. My mind just clumped a few of them together when I read this one. |

In years gone buy there was a breed on male called the gentleman. He basically lived his life (on the surface, anyway) to a code of respect for his social environment. He practised, among other things, something called 'good manners'. High on the gentleman's list of 'the ways to conduct oneself' was a strong desire to show respect to women. When a gentleman passed a lady on the street, he lifted his hat as a sign of respect. The hi-hat cymbol's movement imitates this gesture. Hence its name. |
