Thomas Lieber

I owe you an apology. I should have said nothing instead chiming in about the Spellbinder being an ugly bass. Welcome to the forum.

Thank you for sharing the inside story.

Some children believe in Santa Claus, and some children ask questions...

I was the latter child, and eventually grew-up and bought an Alembic for miracles to happen... and it did.

I really dont think it matters what Stanley plays - the music is in the fingers after all!

Even when Stan was playing a Gibson and a Ricky back in the day he sounded like Stan. When he plays his Carl Thompson and his double bass he sounds like Stan!!!

It is understandable that many members here connect with Stan mainly through his use of Alembic basses - therefore it is a human reaction to react in a negative way when he uses something else ( for example I despaired when John Entwhistle switched from Alembic to Warwick/Status etc) ....but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Spellbinders are not at all to my taste but good luck to them for getting exposure through Stan.

John.

A great weakness of humans are: fear and doubt.
The greatest weakness is: intolerance to others.

If this site can't rise above the above perils, it will eventually parish upon it's self.

I never heard of a bad question, just bad decisions.

In otherwords...bad decisions are made, because questions had been ignored, blocked, or mis-understood.

Bootsy has basses for sale, for those who love bling-bling and rhinestones!

His tarket market for his basses are profoundly clear.

You're spamming Hal... (or maybe even trolling, or is that the same?)
Plz read above advise ;-)

hendixclarke · « **Reply #67 on:** February 10, 2009, 12:51:33 PM »

However, the differences -- Bootsy started his career with his own special made bass called: The Space Bass.

There had been newer renditions, and designs of his Space-bass but it still, was design and personally fit his stage persona and attire(s).

Perhaps if Stanley created his own bass, 30 years ago, this issue would be moot.

Lewis Johnson worked with Leo Fender to design his custom bass...: The Musicman Stingray!

That's a bad-ass bass. Alembicans here, warmly accepts Stingrays.

It a fun thought.

Not at all Flip.

I am neither.

According to your own words, you are not even sure yourself.

What make you think of me in this way?

That's my question to you... Let's gain understanding bro.

hendixclarke · « **Reply #69 on:** February 10, 2009, 01:06:38 PM »

If anybody has a 1970's Stingray for sale, please, allow me to make an offer...

Application of the term troll is highly subjective. Some readers may characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial. The term is often used to discredit an opposing position, or its proponent, by argument fallacy ad hominem.

Often, calling someone a troll makes assumptions about a writer's motives. Regardless of the circumstances, controversial posts may attract a particularly strong response from those unfamiliar with the robust dialogue found in some online, rather than physical, communities. Experienced participants in online forums know that the most effective way to discourage a troll is usually to ignore him or her, because responding tends to encourage trolls to continue disruptive posts ? hence the often-seen warning: Please do not feed the trolls.[11]

Frequently, someone who has been labelled a troll by a group may seek to redeem their reputation by discrediting their opponents, for example by claiming that other members of the group are closed-minded, conspirators, or trolls themselves.

Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it...

As Adriaan said: your enthousiasm runneth over sometimes

I think on most topics I agree with you....

Think, because I'm not sure. I'm not sure because I rarely ever read one of your posts... :-(

If you just make your firm statement and wait for somebody to reply, it will be much easier to read for us and we might even get to know the nice guy (which I think you are) behind hendixclarke ;-)

FC Bass · « **Reply #72 on:** February 10, 2009, 01:17:55 PM »

and now I'm doing it myself :-)

Sorry double post...

I am a member of this Club - A long time member.

I show respect, even when none is provided.

I don't have any motives for trolling. We had seen man people ruined because lack of understanding.

Again, questions are never bad, just decisions we make are.

Ok, I am back aboard my space ship... see ya.
