King Tut

I bought an Akai Unibass from Woody. Arrived promptly, professionally packaged and probably in better condition than described. Deal with confidence :-)

This is really sad but probably inevitable for one who's lived so hard and fast. One of my heroes for sure but the body just can't take the kind of abuse he's given his without paying the price. God bless.

Just found this . . . . Pretty useful . . . . A, B, C and D are widths not shapes! http://www2.fender.com/en-GB/support/articles/guitar-neck-shape-v-c-u/

Great stuff Manton Customs. It's hard to picture how a C neck would be different from a U or D neck. Help me out here. . . . . A typical 60's Precision would have a . . . . . . . .

It would be pretty cool, I think, to have a thread on here regarding neck dimensions. I'm interested in fender, but could easily include other makes. For instance, what exactly is meant by a 'B' shaped neck or a 'C' shaped neck. When a neck radius is given, is its the radius of the fingerboard, or the back of the neck. Even if it's not made a sticky, could folks discuss the above paragraph to help me understand/describe? Also, neck depths . . advantages/disadvantages/examples . . . .

Bought a Musicmaster bass from Dunc. Good comms, promptly sent and well packed. Good seller :-)

Oh no it's not!

Yeah, I front our trio, guitarist does BV's. I love singing but it took ages for me to be any good with or without a bass. I got pressured into singing and playing years ago when i wanted to introduce one of my original numbers into the band i played bass for. They told me they'd only play it if I sang it. And it started from there. The more i use it the better it gets, but i find i have to use it fairly regularly for it to stay good - i regularly sing along to songs we do, in the car. helps me to remember lyrics as well :-)
