Well, the neck certainly isn't.

I briefly wondered why it had door handles mounted each side of the headstock. The door handle on the right does give an inkling of the craftmanship of the owner of the Custom Shed Workshop in question.

Come to think of it, visit Bass Direct, then you're just by the M40 which takes you into That London (via the A40) and The Bass Gallery is quite close to Euston Station (I used to walk past Euston Station to the Royal Veterinary College when I was a student, and The Bass Gallery is only a little further along). Go back via Bass Direct if you prefer one that you tried out there.

I was just wondering if you'd done anything about those couple of little chips on the headstock near the nut on the G string side, and you've cunningly put it on a wall hanger so I can't see!

That explains their recent rise in popularity, the immigrants in Springfield, Ohio have been buying them.

I use https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/wifi-router/tl-wr902ac/ - very small and light, has been reliable so far. I use the XR18 naked so I keep meaning to put some velcro on it to hold it to the top.

Warwick necks vary enormously through the years. Do you prefer thick or thin necks? PS: Another vote for Bass Direct, about 35 miles from Leicester. Bass Bros, about two miles from them, has rather more limited stock but would be worth visiting - you need to make an appointment though, unlike Bass Direct that you can just drop in on.

The plastic version. I was lucky enough to pick up a couple of 5-string JAN Is cheap on Ebay a few years ago which fitted two of my Antoniotsais perfectly.

I'm not surprised, with it sloping that much.

Including pulling their skirts off, or have they dropped that now?

I use Alto TS408s for vocals (and, in one emergency, bass), and they're fine.

Why not just leave the (unwired) J pickup and two unused pots in place?

Yes, I think that's where I got the name from too, but he doesn't list it among his (considerable) credentials. Edit: Just to clarify, I think it's the answer but was just looking for confirmation.

Even stranger, I just tried using PuTTY (v0.81) from my laptop (I'd been using it on my Windows 10 machine which is the one in the office with a spare accessible HDMI screen that I'd used to set up the Pi in the first place) and it worked fine. I need a drink.

Further update - I burnt the image again, put the right password in, and got the same result from PuTTY over wifi. Casting around, I found KiTTY, a fork of PuTTY, and tried that, and it worked. https://www.fosshub.com/KiTTY.html and https://www.9bis.net/kitty/#!index.md

I've been watching all the episodes of Taggart since the start as part of my "things to do now you're retired" list. In the first 15 series, the incidental music features a masterfully played fretless bass which is the primary mood setter (much as the sax does in A Touch of Frost). Subsequent series have done away with that and the incidental music isn't focussed on any one instrument. I did try to find out who had played bass for those earlier series - it seems it may have been Trevor Barry but I'm not sure. Does anyone happen to know?

Put the pots on upside down?

I've not encountered this in 20 years or so of using PuTTY. I've also got a KVM with a couple of spare ports, which is what the Pi is currently living on. Next stage is going to be to re-burn the OS to the SD card and go round again - at least it's just plug and play (the audio card is automatically detected in a script), I hate it when you go through an hour or two of rigmarole and then have to start all over again. OTOH, I imagine that I'd get exactly the same thing going via wifi. The Hifiberry card is https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/hifiberry-dac-adc/ - this project is taken from https://towardsdatascience.com/neural-networks-for-real-time-audio-raspberry-pi-guitar-pedal-bded4b6b7f31.

I thought I'd try putting ElkOS onto a Pi4/Hifiberry that I have lying around. What an absolute f*cking nightmare. Mistyped the wifi password and can't find a way to get connmanctl to let me change it, connected with ethernet but PuTTY (latest version) won't play with it as ssh and PuTTY aren't agreeing about key algorithms. I'm not having a good day anyway and this is just making things ten times worse. I shall see if anyone in the Elk forum has any suggestions.

We weren't too bothered about whether the original had a male or a female vocalist. Mrs Zero was our vocalist. https://lightning.tauzero.org.uk/songs.html

If only it was a bolt-on neck...

At the moment, a text file on my phone, but I think I should do it properly.

When I was the house band bassist a few years ago for a popular OM, I got quite adept at reading guitarist's fingers, although when they use a capo it inflicts a whole new level of pain (the same applies when you're reading the chords over someone's shoulder and they're using a capo).

I had a look at the Pi Stomp quite recently but it seemed to have come to a grinding halt. Looks like it's moving again now. I may have a shot at knocking something together as I've got a Pi and a Hifiberry DAC+ not doing anything.

"Estimated to ship 5 months after placing order". Ouch.
