Yes that's what I would probably do. But isn't there something about the neck radius and having each string follow the profile?

Er, Blackbird by The Beatles? 🤔

The action on one of my P basses is really high. Can anyone recommend a good video on action adjustment? The neck is straight so thats good.

I bought it on DVD https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Beatles-Let-It-Be-DVD-NTSC-Region-Free-New-Sealed/324005540132?epid=1376983357&hash=item4b703c3124:g:-64AAOSwNIpca7xz

I always thought that it was Paul playing bass on this. But Having seen the Let It Be movie recently, It was George Harrison playing the bass part on a telecaster while Macca plays the chords on an acoustic guitar. Here is the bass part as recorded on a tele. Not a bad bassline.

Eton Rifles - The Jam. Or in the extremely likely event of Weller not reforming them, Then: From The Jam if Bruce has a nasty mishap. 😁

I always get that Kate Nash mixed up with Fat Les's daughter. Not that it matters, they are both utter dross.

Yes she does. Its the first time Lyndsey left IIRC

Well, The guitarist and drummer have moved away so its the traveling issue for them. I suppose its the aggravation of finding new members and getting them up to speed for gigging. I also think its the Roger Waters syndrome with me. “spent force creatively" The band has run its course. I will wait and see what happens after our gig before I make my decision.

After 5 years the drummer and one guitarist has called it quits. Will play our last gig next weekend and that will be it. The singer and other guitarist have expressed the will to carry on with the band with replacements. But I'm not sure. 😕

Put a white pickguard on it and its the spitting image on my Mexican standard. 😊

Cheers. I may check them out. I never had seen John M play a fiver before. Or since. I assume it was a prop for the video.

Always known John as a 4 string player. What is the 5 string he is playing in this video?

I havent seen a Limelight in a 51 shape. I wonder if Mark can do one if asked? 🤔

Crank up yer old Sega Megadrive. 😊

Not great picture quality, But this is one of the last Mexican Standards made before they were discontinued. The lovely sparkly LPB finish really shines under the lights.

I use Warwick Red Nickles on my Precisions after reading positive reviews on here. They sound bright and last longer than Rotos or Ernies, but they are a bit abrasive to the fingertips. I have a few packets to try on my other bases too.

Here is Jet playing Nivram on a Musicman Stingray.

Well, I did wonder what happened to it. I thought you probably had got fed up waiting and cancelled the order. 👍🤣

Jools should get that American kid who fooled top venues that he was a major star with a record deal, an agent and a huge fan base. Thats how marketing works and he has got what he wants because it has given him exposure. Cant be any worse than that shower of shite!

Reminds me of a third rate Hole with a fourth rate Courtney wannabe. The bass player staring at his left hand reminded me of me when I first started playing.

Another short ar$e here at only 5'6. Although I have stopped growing upwards, I am now growing outwards, and will soon struggle to reach the strings!! 😁

I originally was a guitarist. But back in the day when I was in my first band, the bassist could not really play. I remember one song we were doing.. Funeral Pyre by The Jam, the poor sod couldn't grasp it. I recall showing him how to play the bass part and was sort of cajoled into 'Why don't you take over on bass?' So I did. I would probably have done the same if I had my time again.
