Was that you Kier?

Just looking at that Callope Muses jug reminds me, 'How much does a Greek Urn'?

I have Grade 5 recorder, gained at school and is my highest musical qualification!

Odd, one would have though the venue, which is open to the public would have PL insurance? Your MU insurance should then cover the musical equipment side of things? Maybe best to check with MU and Venue as my only experience is with PL from a band perspective so no direct knowledge!

Might have been haberdashery drawers but now labelled for fishing flies. You can tell its his man-cave by the empty whisky glass....

Assuming most of the stuff made in Indonesia is made by similarly paid workers, the cost differential between cheap and less cheap will be in the hardware and quality/appearance of the wood and some minor hand-finishing.

Googled the EVO bridge and just glanced at the price: thought for £26-32 it was affordable, then I noticed it was £260-£320!

Squier Paranormal Bass at £299?

Bugger Bognor....

Nice rig. I had the same set up some years ago: it's possible if you remove the grill and use a hairdryer to release the badge you can then relocate/stick it horizontally!

Looking at the final photo( you have to scroll down below what is on show), it does have neck binding. Date wise the 3 bolt neck is feasible assuming the neckplate is off that Bass but as someone else says, the area under the decal looks lighter. Strange how some people can only get grainy photos for their ads....?

Tells you when a cold front is coming over?

There's a guy on YouTube who may be able to help, called bigclivedotcom. He uses some sort of database to find out the values of caps and resistors......

You could just buy a very thin piece of laminate (ash/oak/maple), glue it on, shape and then do your decal and refinish......

Might be worth checking the jack socket and wiring too in case any reduction in sound is electrically restricted. I'm thinking possibly poor solder joints or corrosion/oxydation in the jack socket. Both are cheap and easy to fix.

Pretty sure, if as you say, it is a CMD121P, that the P stands for 'piezo' and it has a small piezo horn. You should be able to see it. Many in fact disconnect it but the difference is not that noticable IMHO(and I have done the disconnect)!

I retro-fitted a leather handle to mine, makes it a much nicer carry.

+1 can't add anything to that!

I claim the £50 prize, it's under the light ring, next to the 2 way socket and just behind the Staedler pens. Was I first?

Just remembered this one but have mentioned it before in another thread. We had a band with a female singer ( now married to quite a famous record producer) and played a pub in Bingley , West Yorks on a weekend night. Whilst there were some fairly genteel pubs in Bingley, this was not one and at some point in the evening I seem to recall 2 women being thrown out for fighting. Anyway the stage area in this pub had a pool table and the way it was moved off the stage area was via a type of low trolley that fitted under the table and was jacked up. Now our female singer nearly always wore jeans but on this occasion was uncharateristically wearing a dress. We started the gig and after a couple of numbers a drunken punter lay on the trolley on his back and jockied the trolley to right below the singer at the edge of the stage and proceeded to upskirt her (although we did not know that term at the time). Singer moved back from the edge of the stage so said punter decided he would just whizz around the dancefloor on his back and on the trolley. Barstaff arrived and ejected him but along with the woman fighting it was a first until just before lockdown when I played a pub in Frome where 2 women had a fist fight too......

We had a guitarist who turned up a day early for a gig at a pub and also at another time went to the wrong pub on the right day. However the best was the dep drummer who on one occasion forgot his snare drum (get-roundable) and on another occasion forgot his drum stool. Needless to say he was a graduate of Leeds College of Music and never stopped telling us how superior he was...... My first instance was 35/40 years ago going to an audition night at a club ( we were on audition too) and the first act on was a guitarist who worked with backing tapes and could not get his guitar in tune to the tapes. It may have been before digital and his machine was playing up with variable speeds meaning he could get get the right pitch wherever he tuned to.

Um

Was she in a Maroon 5/Police tribute band before going solo then?

Reminds me of when I was asked to join an Abba tribute. I was concerned about how their name might invoke legal difficulties but I was told "It's all right, were just going to use ABBA backwards'.....

4 Strings? Looks more like 3 to me.
