Same here, but with parallel necks.

Ooops, that was chopthebass, not Prosebass.

He moved across the Atlantic IIRC (to Canada, again IIRC). I liked the look of his headlesses.

Do you realise how tedious you are? It's like a scratched record.

Sounds like a good subject for a Youtube video.

It was the done thing to make hi-fi speakers as heavy as possible as this apparently increased the highness of the fidelity. I remember a DIY hi-fi speaker in the 70s (in Practical Electronics or Wireless World, I think) which had double-skinned walls. After putting together the base, sides, and front/back, and putting the speakers exactly where you wanted them, the walls were then filled with sand and the top put on.

To paraphrase that nice Mr Orwell, some are more hideous than others.

Something I found a few days ago when I rewired a previously passive bass to active with new pickups - the pickup negative and the pickup ground need to be definitely connected together. I'd got the pickup ground going to ground and the pickup negative soldered to the volume pot body but the two weren't connected, so one end of the volume wiper was floating and the volume control had no effect. Connecting the two sorted that out.

Use a reamping box. Coincidentally I've just built one using the instructions in this video - if you've got the tools, it's dead easy.

Oh good, it's not just me that thinks that the Tele headstock is hideous. Mind you, I also think that the Tele body is hideous.

About where it would be if I was sitting. I almost always play sitting anyway, sometimes in classical guitar position (as below) and sometimes with the waist resting on my right leg.

Aluminium neck-through - that's unusual, especially as the neck is bolted to the body. I don't think even Kramer did that. And you can see where Mazeti got the idea for their odd headstock that can be seen in a recent MDP auction. Looks like ridiculously narrow string spacing, although that may be because of the huge body and long thin aluminium neck section running along it.

Remember, it needs you more than you need it.

Something to keep you occupied while awaiting rescue?

I generally look somewhat grumpy - for example, wondering why the rest of them are so damn happy and then I try to work out what Mrs Zero is telling me to do and realise that she wanted me to smile But throughout it all, one should retain one's essential dignity.

I think it would need part of the headstock grafting back onto the neck end as the break undercuts the truss rod end.

I think that that's due to the way that WL20s charge, using a stereo jack, which wouldn't necessarily be compatible with the stereo jack socket used to switch active basses on (ISTR reading here that some makes of active bass can be used with the WL20 - it depends on which way round -9V and ground are wired on the ring and sleeve in the bass). If that's the only issue, it can easily be overcome by using a short mono jack plug to mono jack socket lead, plugging the plug into the bass and plugging the WL20 into the socket.

Fairly pathetic. I have a shark with a frickin' laser beam on its head.

Of course, you could always do some minimal research into how it sounds rather than judging by its looks. AIUI, that is a low whistle:

The general thrust is reasonable. However, you appear to be extrapolating the nuisance aspect to encompass this woman's situation (as your first sentence makes abundantly clear).

I think you're exaggerating the nuisance that she caused to her neighbour. Still, never mind, have a good hack at your straw man.

I think you're right - You Only Live Twice was crap, OHMSS was great.
