  1. Nights in White Satin? Never mind, I'll get off your thread 😉
  2. Won't that restrict you to only using it at night?
  3. Back on topic as it were, I've got all of my tickets bar Ugly Kid Joe and Skin from the Roadmender and ZZ Top from the NEC on the Antenna tour. I keep them all and will put them in an album one day, honest! I'm a bit miffed by E-Tickets as I think that a ticket stub is an essential part of concert memorabilia.
  4. I've got the misprint shaped picture disc for Fear of the Dark. Apparently the whole run was wrong so it's not as rare as you'd think. IIRC the B side is supposed to be Hooks in You, but is actually Tailgunner, which IMHO is a better song anyway so nothing lost there! I've also got Running Free: The Iron Maiden Story by Garry Bushell, but you'll have to prise that out of my cold dead hands.
  5. Record the sessions and then listen to them as a band to discuss any level, clarity and other issues. If he can practice to change his faults give him that opportunity.
  6. I don't know if it's a fixed radius or not! Necks taper so... If a radius block is used then I guess it is.
  7. Machining a compound radius tapered fretboard would be incredibly tricky, and very interesting to set up. Probably on the wrong side of expensive as well. I'd try @SpondonBassed metal veneer idea first.
  8. I play with my fingers in the gaps, not on the frets, no-one has told me to play otherwise, maybe I'm doing it wrong? I didn't think it was arsey 😉
  9. I always have played so that the strings touch the fretboard 😲
  10. How resilient are decals on a fingerboard? I would expect the strings to cut through them fairly quickly.
  11. Can I quickly hijack this to ask the difference between Aria and Aria Pro, with or without the II? I've got an Aria Pro II Magna Series 5er that I know pretty much nothing about, with replaced hardware that's definitely worth more individually than as a bass.
  12. If you have a drill press you can mount a bit of hexagon bar the correct size for the hex in the insert in the chuck and screw it in by hand whilst keeping pressure on the insert by the spindle feed. Before anyone gets the wrong idea, the motor is most definitely off when doing this!
  13. Can I drop a Facebook link on here? Then if so... Our guitarist/singer bought a little Canon video recorder and this was a bit of a play to see what it does. I gather that he's since turned the fisheye setting off!
  14. Erm, why isn't it yellow? What have you done to @Jimothey and where have you hidden the body? Is that you @Raymondo? 🤔
  15. Tubedrive or Scroverdrive both sound just wrong 😉
  16. I'm confused Which is it then? Shall I just get you to delete the post in How was your gig last night and rewrite it in Lozz's thread about leaving his band?
  17. Can a post be moved from one thread to another?
  18. Have some perspective Young Teebs, you can't kill them all. Imagine a band just comprising of basissts because anyone who tried to play another instrument is murdered! We'd all be in Royal Blood tribute bands...
  19. "Try and avoid religion, politics and anything sexy please." IBTL 😜
  20. Martin Freeman on 6Music. Fortunately light on the Beatles so far.
  21. On the basis that I am definitely stealing that look when I refin my Tele (probably never, but I can plan to) how did you do it? My thoughts are to paint the sides black and then sand off the top without going around the edge contour, or would that create a fuzzy edge rather than a sharp edge on the paint?
