  1. Possibly "Fender shaped object" but ICBW.
  2. Still trying to work out what the best for resale value would be. It's not easy because so many people on here have orgasms at every dull as ditchwater P or J that there's a picture of. I reckon a 4-string fretted P in oly white or lake placid blue, tort pickguard, standard electronics and then I could name my price.
  3. Ocean loners? The people who go on cruises in the hope of meeting someone?
  4. That's the one, only with the three-pronged UK adaptor on it.
  5. That's easy, just make it headless.
  6. Two sister ships, in fact, Olympic and Britannic. Olympic sank the sub and survived until being scrapped in 1935, Britannic sank after hitting a mine. So the chance for two sequels then, all of which could have featured a stewardess who survived the Titanic and Britannic sinkings and Olympic's ramming.
  7. Nurse! He's out of bed again!
  8. Difficult to see where they'd have the opportunity to do all that here: Never mind, there will be something else along for you to have a rant at shortly.
  9. I've got two NT 4s and one NT 5. The first Thumb I got was a 1987 JD Thumb which had a fantastic neck, and I later bought a 2000 NT 4 which had the fat neck - I had that defretted and reprofiled to be the same as the JD neck. I don't use the 4s now but I don't want to part with them. The balance wasn't ideal but with a strap with a reasonable amount of friction on it it was OK. I found the JD very versatile, used it for everything from heavy rock to a ceilidh band playing traditional tunes.
  10. Most of this is three notes - there's a passing B on the verses. And of course there's just three notes almost all the way through this, there's three passing Fs through the song and the occasional octave G in the outro:
  11. Reducing costs can be done by making the manufacturing process more efficient, which has been happening with increased automation. It does require capital investment, but that's spread across tens or hundreds of thousands of instruments, and you can always sell the decrepit old machinery to Gibson and recoup some of the cost.
  12. Damn spoilers. In revenge, I shall reveal that in "Titanic", the ship sinks.
  13. John Redwood decided to join in on backing vocals, I see.
  14. If the device is powered from the USB cable and the cable has really teeny tiny cores, and the device takes a fair bit of current, the resistance of the cable might bring the supply voltage down enough for the device not to run.
  15. Sometimes it's because the USB cable is charge only, so you have to be sure to get a data cable. Also, sometimes it has to be plugged into the PC itself rather than through a hub. You also need to be sure you've got the drivers installed. If you go into Device Manager you should be able to see if it's connected but the drivers aren't installed.
  16. I can't remember ever hearing about some celebrity buying a high priced collectors instrument (other than occasional mention on Basschat that somebody owns something, generally several years after they've bought it). I also can't see that they would get millions worth of free publicity from that. Could you give an example?
  17. I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned William Shatner yet, for every single one of his covers. Telly Savalas did a pretty shocking version of "If" too.
  18. I keep seeing these references and I find it a bit puzzling as I can't remember Jean-Michel Jarre ever playing bass.
  19. I'm just seeing if I can get the vein in @Woodinblack's temple throbbing. And it seems a little arbitrary selecting me to patronise, as the whole of this thread has been opinions. And emojis are for losers.
  20. Nonsense. It conveys the raw emotion far better than the original did.
  21. It has a couple of scratches so it's a light relic.
  22. BT power supply part number S018CAM1200150 - 12V 1.5A centre positive, 5.5/2.5mm.
  23. Your subsequent question was "Why do You think Fender cs would not make Your perfect bass ?" and I answered it. Perhaps it would help if you remembered what you'd said.
  24. They don't make headless neck-through basses, and I think it's unlikely that they'd do one just for me.
  25. That, and Joe Cocker's "Little Help", are very much subjective. Personally, I love both of them. The Alexander Burke version of "Hallelujah" is objectively awful though.
