I'm not really a fan of gold hardware in general but somehow it just works on a black Yamaha more than any other bass I feel. I have a black BBG5s with gold hardware that I bought new in the nineties, it was my only bass until the Internet came along.

We just watched that and Mrs. M correctly guessed that one. Shh... Unicorn is John Barrowman and hedgehog is Alfie Boe 🤔

In my head sliding harmonics shouldn't be possible, but they are.

Yes I was quite excited to hear the soundclips too, not sure I've got a se..................... oh I see, sorry my misunderstanding 😊 I am actually intrigued as to the construction as well, it sounds great 👍

I'm doing the opposite, I seem to play fretless like a fretted. The trouble is when I try and sound 'fretless' it all gets a bit early eighties and I feel like Alan Partridge playing Music For Chameleons.

Yes it is

That amused me far more than it should. 😁

You can, you just end up with a shiny turd though. 😄

That would almost be worth buying just to annoy our drummer. 🤣

No it's a Hertz one, 57 cycles per second apparently. 😁

I'm no electrics expert, not by a long stretch so this genuine interest, you are the man in the know. If wired in series would the bass only work if both outputs were used, the second jack plug being needed to complete the circuit, where as in parallel either output could be used independently?

I'm guessing you want to add different effects to each channel (amp). I've never done it but I'd assume you can just wire a second jack in parallel with the first, just spur a wire off of each wire on the original jack and connect them to the matching terminals on the new jack. Being passive you can't harm anything trying.

Could be, I was thinking Clot.

Ooh guess the word, I like a good quiz. I know what my guess is but would anyone drop the C bomb this early on New Year's Eve?

I've only ever had unlined and quite honestly have never understood the lined/unlined thing. If you have side dots then I really can't see having lines or not makes things any different. On a fretted bass surely people aren't leaning over the front to see where they are by using the fretboard dots or blocks over using the side dots, same with fretless. I much prefer the look of unlined as well and would always buy unlined over lined if a choice was available.

What an amazing Dad 👍

Our drummer was asked by Nick Heyward to be the druminator for Haircut 100 before they made it. Being into the whole punk/post punk scene he told Mr Heyward to feck off and informed him his band was sh!t. 😆🤪😄

About ten minutes, any longer and I'm off. "Eh?" "Yes wait." "What, weight?" "Aw pants! As you were."

My feelings at the moment? No! 😄

That reminds me, I might have a chicken tarka for tea tonight. What's that I hear you cry, what's a chicken tarka? Well, it's like a chicken tikka, but.............. wait for it wait for iiiit............ it's a little 'otter. I thangyew

I'm patiently awaiting my turn.

Unfortunately everyone has differing ideas of how to conduct themselves in a selling/buying situation. Most of the time peoples ideas are pretty similar but every now and then you find yourselves at opposing ends of the scale and have to either suck it up or walk away/move on. It's annoying at the time but worrying about such things will just get you down. I've just finished a two week negotiation with such a person (not a member here AFAIK) and thrown the towel in and admitted defeat, and we weren't even haggling on price. Sometimes it's just not meant to be. That said, I've never had any problems with any deal on here.

Over to you stew 😆 More obstacles and absolutely no willingness on his part to help organise a suitable day or time. Funny thing intuition, I had a gut feeling right from the off he was another facebook waste of time. Another one will turn up. 🙂
