    I've been feeling that although my playing has improved through regular gigging, it has actually stagnated a bit in recent times. I practice most days but over the last few years it has been mostly learning sets for depping and new tunes for the covers band. So nothing structured, just getting the songs nailed. It has been bothering me a bit, so I started looking at lessons online. Checked out Scott's site, liked what I saw and signed up last week. Thoroughly enjoying trying out some different techniques and styles.

    I cheated, couldn't keep my eyes closed and had to take a peek. Don't think I would have identified many of them correctly.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1394905734' post='2396574'] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] If your muting palm is being shredded by rough bridge barrel screws it's a simple enough matter to buy shorter ones, and the problem is no more. I've done this several times over the years. [/font] [/quote] Yes, same here Mark, I've purchased shorter ones and even sometimes just cut them down, tedious job that though

    No, they will do your design.

    [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1394902041' post='2396519'] I use palm muting with a pick. I have been playing for many years and have never injured my self doing it!! [/quote] Same here. I do need to be careful if the saddle screws are sticking out proud of the bridge though. For me palm muting is preferable to sponge, because there will be some notes that I don't want muted.

    [quote name='Andy O'Neil' timestamp='1394734811' post='2394632'] Here's a free bump! ..with a question i have a 75 P also - and it has that same darkening around the pup under the pickguard. Whats the deal with this? Just curious if you knew, always wondered ! best - Andy. [/quote] Don't know the answer to that, sorry Andy but thanks for the bump. [quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1394743064' post='2394757'] If I had the cash it would have been bought, glass boxed and displayed on my bedroom wall!! Please someone buy it, in case I win the lottery and will subsequently need major negotiations with Mr Space Chick! [/quote] Debs, I've heard that Mr. Space Chick is very understanding and agreeable chap. He did mention to me that there was a perfect little space for a p bass on the bedroom wall, honest. [quote name='jamondrums' timestamp='1394744590' post='2394796'] Beautiful bass. As good as it looks. [/quote] Thanks Jay. and Mr. Phsycoandy Bump

    Great work Paul, great write up and great photos, it's all great I love the look and sound. Sounds like like it was a real worthwhile project for you and you've ended up with a rather lovely instrument.

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1394748626' post='2394883'] There's one here for £75 - not even a couple of weeks fag/beer money.. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/231334-harley-benton-mandocaster-reduced-to-l75/"]http://basschat.co.u...reduced-to-l75/[/url] [/quote] Yes, was looking at the ad earlier. Think I fancy something more traditional but it is tempting for that dosh.
