Jean-Luc Pickguard

I prefer and normally use Fender, Ernie Ball, generic or Grolsch rubbery strap blocks, but the latest version of the schallers work great. I was kind of forced into buying a set as my 2024 ric came with strap buttons to fit schallers which don't work well with strap blocks.

Don't Smoke In Bed — Nina Simone

Prince of Darkness — Miles Davis

Won't fit. That one is for a telecaster neck pickup, which like a strat pickup is smaller than a single coil p-bass pickup.

I don't think I have ever seen a pickup bezel for a single-coil p bass, but I'm sure Brian Pillans (earlpilanz on ebay) would be able to cut one for you from mirror pickguard material which would be visually similar to chrome.

Here are Gotoh GB640 sets on a couple of my Thunderbirds. They can be ordered as reverse or normal wind. I have the normal wind ones so they operate like the tuners on my other basses.

(Lem)Sippin' At Bell's — Miles Davis

When I had a Dean Pace EUB I used to play it through a Behringer ADI21 — Cheap as chips and made it sound much more polished. When I upgraded to an NS CR5M I used it to great benefit with that also.

Al Capone — Prince Buster

I couldn't give a shite what people think of my musical taste.

Are You Doing Me Wrong? — Laura Lee

I have an elf incoming. I'll check this also

The ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp(s) — George Harrison

Workin' Hard — The Olympics

Red Light — The Georgia Satellites

I watched the YT video. I had no idea what was going on due to the lack of explanation — he could at least put some captions onscreen if he's afraid of his voice. So is that the finished logo? Are those acrylic shapes just screwed onto the headstock and it's job done? I though they were going to be inlaid flush or something else less amateur looking. He's certainly no Ted Woodford when it comes to showcasing his skills on video.

Old Man Trump — Woody Guthrie

What's The MAGA — Ian Gillan

Ring My Bell — Anita Ward

Tightrope — Stevie Ray Vaughn oops too late, but hey-ho!

Never mind the guitarists, the drummer I'm in a band with is a better bass player than me.

Stay Away — Alice In Chains

The Ocean — Led Zeppelin

Guitarist managed to smack his telecaster into his nose when putting it on causing it to continue bleeding onto his shirt throughout the set. Then there was the charity gig to raise money for a young chap to go towards a new electric wheelchair. We didn't have a setlist so the singer was calling the songs. For some reason he started the set with 'Up on cripple creek' not making the connection that it might not be the most appropriate song in our repetoire.

That's very kind of you old chap. I'm in Sutton — so just the other side of Croydon. I'll try to figure out the HX Effects over the next week, but if I'm still in a pickle after that I might take you up on that.
