"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." - Dr. Seuss

This is going to be my last post, I feel its time for me to move on, and get serious about my playing, my life, and my education. I'm glad to have met many of you via this forum, truly too many to name. I decided that if I wasn't Modded then i would leave, and fate has delt me the shorter straw. I'm not leaving on a grudge, i honestly feel its time for me to go.

Thank you for the time spent on this board, and I hope the impact I had on this forum mattered to any of you. I Sincerely ask the current mods of this forum to have my account IP banned.

thank you

You better go to Berklee again. You were always helpful and you know so much about bass and music in general. I'm going to miss you, man...I'm going to miss you.

We lost a legend today, guys...

precisely. "leaving" threads are pointless. 9 times out of 10 the person still comes back to occasionally post, or they come back all together. it's not like MX is a job you must commit to, it's not an obligation, it's not required that you post a certain amount per day. internet forum, internet community, call it what you will; but it's not like you have to be all or nothing for this place. no one said you can't occasionally post or read, and no one said you have to post a thousand times a day. it's the internet, move at your own pace.

True. I`m always too late to answer on topics that interest me, `cause I`m here infrequently.

But I wish quatre the best of luck. He seems like an impressive bassplayer(I would be great if I was half as good), and I`m sure it`s not the last we`ve heard of him.

well most people that make those threads are unkown ... and are in turn just doing it so they get noticed.

i think quatre is doing it cause hes a very well known and respected member of these forums and has enough curtosy to let us know hes leaving rather than just leaving without a word and never coming back

I can: If he left with 10,000, you'd be like, "Oh, that's clever!" By leaving wtih 9,999, he took us by surprise and we'll remember it longer because we'll always ask ourselves, "Why didn't he post just ONE more time? The postcount he wanted, 10k, was only one post away!"

This thread is so sad...

Chris Cornell - "Wave Goodbye (For Jeff Buckley)"

Words get tangled on your tongue
And you stumble on your feet
When you miss somebody
And everywhere you think you see them
Walking down the street
When you miss somebody
When you miss somebody
You tell yourself a hundred thousand times
Nobody ever lives forever
So you give it one more try
To wave goodbye, wave goodbye

Every hurtful thing you ever said
Is ringing in your ear
When you miss somebody
And everything of beauty that you see
Only brings a tear
When you miss somebody
When you miss somebody
You tell yourself everything will be alright
Try to stand up strong and brave
When all you want to do is lay down and die

How long I’ve waited for an answer or a sign
Lonely and weary from
The troubled task of trying
To wave goodbye

So now you start to recognize
That every single path you see
Leads to a tear in your eye
So wave goodbye, wave goodbye
