Wood glue and dowels/cocktail sticks/matches. Blob of glue in the hole. Tap in your wood of choice. Leave for a while, to let the glue set. (A few hours). Trim off excess timber. Refit your plate. Enjoy and bask in the glory of a job well done.

We are all different of course and what's versatile to me is quite likely not versatile to others. A case being the P bass, I happen to think it is very versatile. With a tweak of the volume and tone controls on the bass, or maybe an adjustment on the amps eq. it gives all the versatility I need for Rock, Soul, Disco/Dance, Country, Pop, Indie etc. Alright I have never tried it for Metal

It's hard graft but yes, it can be done. You might be disappointed if it's not an attractive piece(s) of timber under that finish though.

Loverly

Not a gig but yesterday DefunkT auditioned for the Ware in Herts, Rock in the Priory festival. I actually felt nervous Considering that we hadn't gigged since New Year's Eve, we did good Don't know if it was good enough though.

That's good of them, it all goes towards making it a really enjoyable day. Well done Mick. Drop me a pm if you want any help with this years event.

[quote name='pmjos' timestamp='1458545732' post='3008362'] I'm nervous about showing this because its such an iconic line but its my effort. I think I have the basic techniques there well enough. Not trying to make excuses but obviously there are fluffs and my timing isn't properly solid again yet following a decade off bass. I'm working hard to get back. On a good day I can pull it off cleanly - this wasn't one of them as you can see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6Gufm4vx-I [/quote] pretty impressive effort I would say, no need to feel nervous about showing us that.

You certainly need patience, perseverance and the ability to recognise the delusional

No worries, I was just being a bit of an anorak

Rich maybe you should be a sad loser like me and have a spread sheet on Excell, that details all your bass specifications, service dates and string changes etc.
