I have two basses with identical control cavities and lost the cover for one. I got a sheet of ABS https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262093434727 and used masking tape to roughly follow the lines of the edge of the existing cover, then drew round the cover on the masking tape. I scored along the straight edges and broke the ABS to give a rough shape, then used sandpaper to get it properly to shape. Drilled and countersank holes for the screws, and all was well.

I'm rather short of headless fretless basses, so a headless fretless 5-string Sei Flamboyant would be nice. Toying with the idea of replacing my GR Bass AT800 with an AT212V to use with the Tecamp Puma.

If we've got to have a headstock: Antoniotsai - how many bass brands can you hang from a washing line? Sei:

Just asked for Pino Palladino fretless sound from Paul Young's records. I shall have a play with the settings it's provided and see how it turns out.

Make a 6-string with three sets of octave strings, using blade type pickups.

I still manage "wrong string" incidents after 17 years of playing almost exclusively 5 strings - the most recent being tonight.

For maximum contentiousness, the values of both [insert]s should be identical.

The answer is

First song I played at a gig on bass was "Back in the USSR". I'm pretty sure we then did an original instrumental called "I love you so much I can't shit".

And, indeed, during the time between setting up and taking down.

The button says it's a flan, so perhaps that's a flan flinger (not a flinger).

When I was looking for an extremely tall stand for a Warwick Buzzard, that was the tallest I could find (and the grabby bit disintegrated after a little while so I don't think much of them). Could you fashion something that the strap would hang on with a cradle of some sort to stop the neck pivoting round the securing screw? Or maybe you could just swap the EUB for an Omnibass.

Tab, notation, or by ear?

Active v passive too.

But if a low D (below bottom E) and a D on the 5th fret of the A string are played, you can tell the difference and that the low D is lower than the next D up. So although the fundamental may not be coming through, your brain can work it out.

And clothes or not?

Mostly unambiguous, but should it be Go Jira or Jo Jira? 😁

The VAT would still have to be paid, at the German rate, when buying it.

As Nick Drake has been dead for years, why would he be bothered by Mark Lamar?

All of them.

I'm not sure that any of my active basses with passive pickups (all of them except the Warwicks) have buffers prior to the blend. My Sei Original did originally (see what I did there?) have a Bartolini preamp that buffered the pickups prior to the blend, but it went titsup so got replaced by a Delano that doesn't.
