I was gifted a vinyl cleaning kit for my old records that haven't been used for 30 years. (We bought a record player in November) 👌

I'd be tempted to (as above) fill the chips with something clear, lightly key the current finish and spray with translucent black nitro. You'd still see the grain and save yourself a lot of time and swears. Easy to diy, just wait for the temperature outside to pick up again.

They don't. The second vol control is out of the circuit in series.

VVT with push/pull pot for parallel/series.

Bass slapper...literally 😂

Well that's a couple of bass problems I could live with! 😆 I'm raising my coffee to your dad, good man x

An expensive bass is one that is just that bit more than you can afford, whatever your circumstances.

Maybe the heavy bass response of a Stingray needs to travel out into the room to make sense?

Straight No Chaser - 12 days of Christmas. It's a cracker (sorry). Not unusual, but I'm loving the bass playing on The Waitresses crimbo number this year. I must learn it! If you like jazz, the Diana Krall Christmas album.

It's a journey for sure. Beauty at it's hardest 😉. I wouldn't change a thing though. No time for bands anymore but music is it's own reward at the end of the day. Bass playing finds a way! ✊️

Best is a Harley Benton mahogany bass uke and a set of the Galli-Kala flats for it. I take it everywhere as it lives in the car. I'm playing and learning 10x more now. Best £150 all in I've ever spent. As a very busy dad of 2 with autism, It's really made a huge difference to my overall mental health. My fam is reaping the benefits too as I'm a much less frustrated and now happier daddio these days 👍
