Neck heel, truss rod aperture, poorly matched "ash" body, separate fingerboard. Oh dear.

I’m close by and could make use of this. Happy to make a donation to the charity of your choice.

Phlegming.

Downtown Lights, by The Blue Nile. The bass part is robotic (prolly a synth) and surprisingly hard.

Don't they mean Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow?

I wish I had a tenth of his energy and enthusiasm.

I have an old classical guitar, a Vicente Tatay Tomas, that my mum and dad brought back from Spain, about 1972. It's been in the loft too long, and is now in several pieces. Apart from that, my Ovation Balladeer, model 111-4, that I bought in 1975 from McCormack's in Glasgow for £150, a whole term's grant. I thought it sounded lush. I have snapped the headstock off twice. The second time I repaired it with carbon rods, and it has never held its tuning better. I will not be parted from it.

Interesting headstock splice. Would you be willing to post more pix of that?

Boss.

Wow that's a handsome bass!

I sometimes use a high stool to sit on because I am lazy and old, but also because I use a looper and pedals. That's my excuse. I have a guitar hanger screwed to the stool so I can use it as a stand when not playing. It looks kinda cool with that. Functional.

My Yamaha BBG4 fretless. So nice to play.

Just clicked on the link. Now £52.

I got my decal paper from eBay. I only needed one sheet. I had painted the bass above using good quality auto rattle cans, and used the same brand clear coat to finish. Homebase, B&Q etc have similar products.
