Yes a grand is out of my range, especially as it's been varnished by his Dad or something. But I'd be happy to £180. 😁

In my experience it's easier to discern pitch differences at a higher pitches, as you're finding with your guitar. This is why when trying to pick out the bassline of a song you're learning, people will sometimes suggest using a device that plays the song at a higher pitch, the bassline then just pops out.

I didn't notice that to be honest, I was too busy checking out my reflection in the jack plate. I'm guessing that's what he means by "replaced pick up" as the pickups look genuine, but the jack plate is a new piece of mirrored acrylic. It's still got the headstock badge though, they've usually fallen out by now, although it's been out as it's in on the wonk.

I really, really like these. But I really, really, really want a white one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hayman-4040-1975-Vintage-UK-Made-Bass-Guitar-/303857451975?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

I like the look of that. A P with a difference. Shame it's collection only.

Did you hang it on the same peg as the guitarists hat?

To look at the 'objectifying' point in a different way. Isn't it a little insulting to assume that both of these women are so dumb that they don't realise that wearing tight tops that are too small for their boobs to fit in is going to cause a reaction? I'd like to think that they're both intelligent enough to know exactly what they're doing, and confident enough not to need strangers defending them against the inevitable reaction. It isn't sexist, as@Silvia Bluejay has pointed out, men do exactly the same thing for exactly the same reaction. It's like someone tattooing their face, man or woman, remember it isn't a sex thing, and then complaining about not getting the job in customer facing. They tattooed their face to get a reaction, then got the reaction. We all do it to some degree don't we? Do none of choose our stage wear because of how it will make us look? In our Mod band we will often be suited, and it has to be the right style suit, not because they're comfy but because they put an image across. Does nobody wearing a t-shirt with a band logo on think that it portrays an image to the onlooker? We all make decisions partly based on looks and vanity, from clothing and hairstyles, to car choice and colour. How many home owners paint their house purely to protect the underlying building material? Or do they think when the house starts to look dirty with the black and green algae that grows on it, or the red stains that leach out of some, I'd better get this painted, it's looking terrible, what will people think of me? We all know that the things we do affect how people see us and the women in the OP are no different. They dressed for a reaction, and got a reaction.

I've just ordered a set as I've a weird, high pitched, six string thing to do with thin screechy strings. I'll see what they're like.

I've never used them as nut files but the file sets for cleaning welding nozzles are often labelled as nut files on ebay. Even Warman Guitars sell a set as nut files on their website. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Welding-Tip-Nozzle-Cleaners-Needle-File-Set-MIG-TIG-Welder-Metal-Work-A41-/323803281079?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 https://www.warmanguitars.co.uk/product/guitar-top-nut-file-tool-set-improved-xl-version-cuts-better-and-cleaner/

I love him, I wish more people had his enthusiasm and sense of joy about things. Shaddacacca!

That's a good analogy. The best you can do is be aware of the warning signs, but there will be exceptions, some good some bad. I'd imagine that horrible fraudster, Mick Mason looked totally genuine with no alarm bells, unless you really researched. On the other hand I have bought things where the only way I could do the deal was to pay through PayPal and send a courier, which now looks dodgy as hell, I'm not out to scam anyone, but the seller doesn't know that. The scammers make it difficult for genuine buyers who live in regional extremes of the country as well as buyers. My son is selling a phone on Facebook, because of lockdown a lot of people have asked him to post it but I've told him it's just not worth it. The buyers want to pay through PayPal goods to protect themselves but that leaves my son wide open to getting scammed, even though most of these buyers are probably genuine.

It's when you do something like this, and just as you look at yourself and think, if I slipped this could hurt, you slip and find that yes, it does hurt. 😄

Not a problem at all. 🙂
