So would I, spelt like that..! ('Cue': giving the nod to someone, or playing pool. 'Queue': standing in line ...)

So, (be truthful, now...) do you honestly find the sound of that video to be 'attractive', well recorded..? Would you be pleased if the drummer in your band sounded like that..?

Unlistenable cacophony. One had to 'be there', maybe. A lesson in how not to set up a PA and record stuff. I gave it four minutes; I shan't repeat the experience. Sorry, no points from me for this one.

Could I suggest explaining what the issue is, so that someone could offer some help..? The 'Report' button brings posts to the attention of the Mods systematically. Just sayin'.

This may or may not be an issue. Try it out, and judge the results in the context of what you're doing, yourself.

Good evening, Julian, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I got 'hooked' on the beauty and richness of the music I was listening to (Surrealistic Pillow, Anthem Of The Sun, Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, Da Capo, Fairport Convention ...), and it was just the right moment to catch the rising crest of the hippy movement. It's remained with me ever since, and is very unlikely to ebb, now. No longer 'fashionable', but then again, I never was, so...

You mean with ... [Gasp..! ] ... oil wheels, as well..?

A good start, but lacks a lot (triplets, dotted notes, 'skipped' notes, ties...). The full list would be quite horrific, I think..!

Is that you, Mr Trump..? Oh, sorry; I just thought for a moment... ... No, no; let it pass.

How about Marshall amps..? They have a lot of fans, I'm told. ...

I don't agree; there's quite orange of good stuff posted here.

Can you get to Manchester and back somehow..? Ashdown rig for sale ... Just sayin'.

Never mind the blathering, you know the score. Get a good picture sent off to Skol Towers for the next Challenge. In your own time, of course. ... ... ... Are you still here..?

And the winner is... Bleat..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2018_07.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)...

Dunno what happened there. I've re-opened the Poll, so try again..?

Would going back to Ireland on the ferry not be an option..? I don't think there'd be any problems carrying a bass in a gig bag, along with any other luggage. Just sayin'; may not be relevant.

I've taken on a short-term project which involves actualising a load of 'funk' topics, so I thought I should dress appropriately. It's my 'Bootsy' persona. I may not retain the look once the project is over.

These puns are boring; the're just going rind and rind.

Oh dear..! That's a shame, after all that hard effort. It's all experience, of course, but still... I'm not an expert in these matters (far from it..!), but I would recommend, if you want to change the bridge, forking out the £70-100 for a bought one, and modifying it to suit. A second-hand one would be even better, from a cost point of view. If you're really set on a DIY version (good on yer..!), try to find a suitable piece of close-grained maple as a blank. It has to be a hard wood (maple is hard, usually...), but also with close fibres, for the reasons illustrated by the break you've now got. It's not an easy task, especially with only modest hand tools; it's not for nothing that these things cost so much..! Good luck, in any case, and thanks for the updates, they're very interesting and instructive.
