  1. Can't add anything about Android, but I've just had my browser (Firefox on my Ubuntu Linux desktop) refuse to accept a Return key after a smiley in a PM - delete the smiley, it's fine. That might be related? Happy to provide more detail if needed.
  2. Cello lessons, from age 8 I think, which I should have continued - quit at 16, partly because of a school change, partly because I didn't really want to play in orchestras. The more bass guitar I play, the clearer I am that those lessons are a key part of my musical mindset. But I never did very much with it. I also did theory, to at least grade 5 (I found the certificate a couple of years ago), but I have no recollection of doing that at all. I've pretty much forgotten how to read music. I can't remember anything of the curriculum music lessons. Possibly I didn't have to do them? I certainly learned a lot more at home though. I do remember my parents (both teachers) talking about the sorry state of music education in schools. My dad floated the idea that if the powers that be really hated rock music so much, they should ensure it was taught in school.
  3. If I'd not been laid off last month... ah well. Thanks for posting
  4. Probably a sticker from a real one, then. Or maybe a bogus transfer.
  5. And another. I'm sure Dad will have them, but still...
  6. Peavey Fury and Fury II. I should sell mine, they aren't being used.
  7. No, it's not the W-bodied thingy... It's this fretless. It appears to have the Warwick emblem on the headstock, and while I don't know Warwicks this seems to be ludicrously underpriced and generally not very Warwick-y. So is it bogus, a re-necked bitsa, or what? Opinions, thoughts, etc. please. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/W-Fretless-Bass-Guitar-1401765-ET/184430876297?hash=item2af0efd689:g:j~QAAOSw1GJfUPKj
  8. Did they make any fretlesses?
  9. How long is "medium scale" for these, please? And can you not take them back?
  10. That was more or less what I remembered, but I got all tangled up on the word "composite" and confused myself. Thanks for clarifying
  11. Are the bodies on these easy to upgrade? IIUC their construction is quite lightweight.
  12. Yes, me too. Though I don't like the headstock design at all.
  13. Too metal for me.
  14. Sounds like a result, though TBH I'm not sure who actually wound up with it...
  15. I should really have known better, because the single-neck is a much better match
  16. I was thinking more of the visual than the weight.
  17. Can't be many of these out there. I'm tempted to suggest this must be the Boat Anchor I keep hearing about https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Made-Dano-Twin-Neck-Bass-Guitar/274466231164?hash=item3fe776537c:g:BKUAAOSw40xfJcAw
  18. Not a fiver, thank goodness, otherwise I'd be in trouble... GLWYS!
  19. Came here to post exactly this
  20. Link works fine for me.
  21. Forty years of weeding out the bad ones will surely help...
  22. There was a T34 parked up in a farmyard near my mum's house for about 18 months. I always wanted to paint it shocking pink
