Thought: the one in the hard case, I’d wrap a light blanket around it or the bass itself to soften changes in temp (the gig bag’s padding will do same) and add silica gel packets to both

Favourite 'between songs' bits from live albums
Geek99 replied to Nail Soup's topic in General Discussion
I like the bit in u2 live from the rose bowl where Bonio name-checks Selma, Mississippi and it’s bridge … a place that no one has ever heard of. He’s a twonk but I admire the audacity -
New one on me …

Yes, I practised and practised “wicked game”- Chris isaak on bass and on the night my mate let me down. He’d totally forgotten and had gone off to plaster a ceiling gutted

Keep buying basses - my learnings (Shielding content)

Yes - stripe over the top to join cavities - do this on jazz basses too The other reason for bridge wire tape is you might tug on it when moving the pick guard You don’t need to poke holes with a paper clip - just smooth the tape out with your finger and you’ll see the holes -

You know that shot with the earth wire under the bridge ? Put a stripe of copper tape over the end of the copper wire to hold it in place and then screw the bridge down tight. also use a stripe of tape to join the pickup cavity and control cavity in case the pick guard ever worked loose -

Yes - you need two sockets to electrocute one average sized guitarist … so you could do five at a time

@DawnPatroller Personally I don’t think it makes a huge difference unless there is some underlying potential for fault anyway. I’ve left several guitars in a loft for years at a time and not one has suffered in the slightest silica gel packets is a good idea I’d use if I had to do it again, as is standing them upright but for myself I’d happily just bin bag them as I did before

Just a weak joke about what you said here “They are built to be at tension” and your username …
