  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Remember, it needs you more than you need it.
  4. Something to keep you occupied while awaiting rescue?
  5. 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.
  6. I think it would need part of the headstock grafting back onto the neck end as the break undercuts the truss rod end.
  7. 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.
  8. Fairly pathetic. I have a shark with a frickin' laser beam on its head.
  9. 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:
  10. 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).
  11. I think you're exaggerating the nuisance that she caused to her neighbour. Still, never mind, have a good hack at your straw man.
  12. I think you're right - You Only Live Twice was crap, OHMSS was great.
  13. Why not just run the MOD power supply into a splitter, send one side of the splitter to the Dwarf and the other to the Cioks 4?
  14. Zoom B3n - scrape in at just under £200 new, maybe a bit over £100 used. As well as Zoom's own editor, there's Tonelib-Zoom https://tonelib.net/downloads.html which is a simple and effective freeware editor for Windows, Mac, Android, or Linux.
  15. Could I point out that two of the suggested basses have been right handers, despite the OP saying he's a left-hander?
  16. Just chop the headstock off. It would look nicer and balance better.
  17. Good point. He doesn't know where to stop with his nut filing, does he? It's nice to know that there's at least one person even more incompetent at handiwork than me.
  18. Broken link - https://wokwi.com/projects/new/pi-pico is what you want.
  19. You have to pay extra for more than one bass string. I do like that he's redefined multiscale so that every bass in the world is.
  20. I don't think he's destroyed it, just written on it and wonked the tuners. Petty vandalism rather than destruction. I'm assuming he hasn't shortened it at the body end, of course.
  21. Or they'd decided within ten seconds of meeting him that they didn't want him and were letting him down gently.
  22. Went for £150. Barnum was right.
  23. This one has almost the full range of improvements. Neck not positioned properly in the pocket, bridge dangling off the end, vicious assault on the nut, mismatched knobs. I've never met one of those Mazetis with the odd-shaped headstock in the flash so I don't know if he's reordered the tuners, but he's obviously swivelled at least one round.
  24. I don't think he's grasped the concept of scale length. He would appear to have put (probably) a 34" scale neck onto a body which would need the bridge moved in order to put it in the right place, but not moved the bridge. If it was a fretted neck, it would have been impossible to intonate it. As it is, the markers won't line up.
