  1. Who'd have thought it? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/285105361623
  2. The point about watching it is you don't need the imagination.
  3. You've never watched naked Hungarian lady gymnast porn?
  4. It makes my back feel as if it's going to pack up just looking at it. I'm not saying whether that's Ampeg cabs or porn.
  5. More comprehensive than me, I've just had the C5 and 5- and 6-string Grinds.
  6. Any particular reason? Mrs Zero and I have been in a couple of bands together and also play as an acoustic duo, and AFAIK it's never caused an issue. In fact, one band I'm in that's just a recording band wants her to come in to do some vocals too.
  7. You've probably gathered I'd prefer 12mm but I should be able to work things out for myself. And I've got some 68mm plastic pipe so I'm halfway there already.
  8. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done.
  9. I'm going to go with the scooped front 4s having both 34" and 35" incarnations and the 5 and 6 and non-scooped front 4s always being 35".
  10. So, the law won, then?
  11. I think it was when the Grind got a second revamp that it changed. I remember looking at the specs of the original neck-through Grind with the body scoop and it was 34" 4-string, 35" the rest. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/differences-peavey-grind-and-peavey-grind-bxp.797769/ The ones in the catalogue don't have the body scoop, so that's the revamp. They got revamped again about five years ago.
  12. There wasn't any feud between Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd. https://groovyhistory.com/neil-young-lynyrd-skynyrd-feud-sweet-home-alabama/7
  13. As I fulfil the traditional bassist's role as PA man, I've got mains extensions, mains leads, XLR leads, etc, so those all go in a wheelie suitcase. Bits for the bass go in the bass gig-bag. Everything else that needs a home (tablet to control mixer, last minute thoughts, spare T-shirt & towel) go in a Spada laptop bag that was a free gift at the Motorcycle Show ten years ago https://spadaclothing.co.uk/en/moto/products/accessories/luggage/gonzo-laptop-bag-luggage
  14. Looking at the way it's all put together, would it be possible to Adjust pickup to correct height Remove strings and undo pickup frame fixing screws Lift up pickup and pickup mounting frame as one Put nuts on the height adjustment screws and tighten them against the frame, locking the screws in place Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly ((c) Haynes Manuals) You'd need to find the size of the height adjustment screws first.
  15. Oh, all the right mistakes. Brown seat. Exhaust wrap. The style police will be after him.
  16. Is this the first time you've encountered Nilo then? You're in for a treat.
  17. Grind 4-strings were 34", only the 5 and 6 strings were 35". My Zephyr/C5 5-string was 34". The neck profiles were slightly different, the C5 was a bit fatter than the Grind - I think it would have been the same as a Cirrus.
  18. And as you don't have to play the 1, you've got all that extra time to work out what chord he's playing. The skill I'd rely on is a bit rusty now, when I was playing in the house band at an open mic night I could read the guitarist's fingers.
  19. Ah, so the question is whether a fretless bass is preciousss, my preciousss. Nassty Baggins, taking preciousss.
  20. Marillion and Fish. I think both sides benefitted.
  21. Could it be built with 12mm ply, and if so, would it need some bracing?
  22. I think it's probably a Zephyr. The Grind had a cut-out area on the lower horn for slap players to get in under the strings. Zephyrs did have contrasting woods in the body though, so I'm not sure. Grinds have through-body stringing and Zephyrs don't. Zephyr 5: Grind 5 BXP:

    DIY Effects

    I wasn't going by the circuit but by https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/l4_bass_preamp_documentation.pdf - page 3 is about the controls. I was actually looking for information on the distortion.
