Why not? My gigging bass is actually haunted by the ghost of someone that couldn't play bass................................ and quite often he makes his presence felt.

Here ya go. It's a bit dark but you get the idea.

I bought some LaBella flats for my Hofner Club and D string snapped at the tuner after a couple days. LaBella were great and sent me a replacement free of charge and included a rather funky sticker, which I really like but don't know where to stick it. I'll try and find it later and post a picture. Maybe you could contact LaBella and purchase one, if you felt so inclined. And yes I do know........ this post is worthless without pictures. 😁

Several months and the pub crowd can (probably still not) tell. 😉

Oh God! TimR is sharpening his graph plotter as we speak. 😬 😁

Pink Sunshine (We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It)

Square peg/round hole. The control plate is straight but the cavity for it curves towards the centre at the rear, more like a 'normal' precision.

Convoy G.B. (Laurie Lingo and the Dipsticks)

I guessed it might be smutty 😁.

Rock has probably had its day with the hurried lifestyle everyone leads these days. Most have only got time for little snippets of gravel.

Bombay Daak (Bombay Mail), was apparently the name of the train it was transported on, which evolved into Bombay Duck. Is this one of the best thread derailments ever? There'll be fish everywhere at this rate. 😉

On the bird/fish front, at 47 years old, I've only just found out that Bombay Duck is a fish. 🤨

Not a good idea at all! The life of a mobile ice cream salesperson is already stressful enough without burdening them with distributing and administering a vaccine. Only the other day I found one laying on the floor of his van, covered in Hundreds & Thousands. It turns out he'd topped himself.

Not Sleeping Around (Neds Atomic Dustbin)

As long as the centre line from the neck to the bridge is good, that's all that matters. The rest is purely cosmetic. Yeah yeah strap pins, but the wood has to be seriously compromised to not be able to mount a strap pin.

Something Stupid (Frank Sinatra)

Or not 😁

24 Hour Party People (Happy Mondays)

Pictures of you (The Cure)

Uptown Top Ranking (Althea and Donna)

Music critic. Someone who's failed at being a journalist and a musician, then settled on combining the two for a lifetime of resentment.

Hundred Mile High City (Ocean Colour Scene)

Yes I think you're probably right, he's not an out of tune shouter, or pitchy, or has poor control or anything, just a bit off centre in his delivery.

I can't make up my mind about Robert Wyatt. An unconventional voice certainly, but an achingly beautiful one. I just can't decide if he's technically good or not.

"A band is essentially a drummer and a bassist, plus assorted novelty acts". Nick Mason Yes a drummer not bassist, but he's feeling the brotherhood.
