I'm sure you're not the only one to think this. I know I've thought it (and even taken that thought to extremes and said "B-sides only"). Trouble with this is, you might as well be an originals band then, playing stuff hardly anyone knows. And if your aim is to "educate" the masses on what "good" music is, then good luck with that - it's just arrogant nonsense to your average punter down the Dog and Duck, who simply wants a dance and a singalong to the hits.

Catchy name...

BTW, only kidding, T40s are great looking basses, would love to have a go of one some time - enjoy!

So I suppose the black hole you pulled that from is just going to collapse in on itself then, is it?

u ok hun?

Johnny Chip and the Pins

Yeah, well you would say that! Sorry, I said I was done extracting the michael...

Bloody hell, a FIVER? Like a for real fiver, not the joke fiver we always offer when someone asks for a valuation? That's a dangerous thing to drop in here, you meanie! Just as well I'm too far away.

No, it wasn't! I was as surprised as you, believe me. If you read the date the American way, it looks like you made it until March! OK, I'm done taking the mick now, honest.

I'd add Drag Race to that list - maybe it's the World Championships or something.

Are you an EB-0, 1, 2, 3 or 4? 6 is showing off.

Lay them side by side and run your finger over them side to side, probably feel something better than seeing it

I think the concept of The Inevitable Teaspoons is not to have a concept... or a plan, or a clue

Don't feel bad, I'm on my third...

Quite a few people de-plate their JCs. Nothing wrong with that, looks good either way to my eyes. I guess because mine is the 20th Anniversary one, I kinda feel a little obligation to keep it stock. Is that silly?

Take comfort, @AndyTravis - I checked back and last year someone was out on the 2nd Jan...

Just counted them now - yup, all twelve fingers are still there. What?

Keeping my wedding ring on must be the reason I don't have hundreds of people wanting a piece of me at/after gigs. Surely got nothing to do with the bass, or my face...

I don't think the thickness of ring will make much difference - they all sit much and such in the same place so it'll either hit something or it won't and it appears to be entirely dependent upon one's technique.

It's (70s) Gibson, so who knows/probably/maybe/nae sure? My gut tells me they didn't get into factory fretlesses until the Ripper, and the EB was already in the twilight of its first run by then, but I could be wrong.

Mine doesn't bother me, it's nowhere near the pads of my fingers and I don't cradle the neck when I'm playing therefore it never touches anything except the finger it's on.

Hey, I've helped create some of that music. The unpop music, that is...

I do wonder how many people here moaning about how rubbish it all is would turn down the opportunity to appear in a playing capacity on the Hootenanny...
