Years. I have children and so neither time, not money. Talent deficiency however is not down to them

Possibly you’re right / rummaging around for those photos knocked something back into place

It’s stopped mysteriously - unsure why

Does the top horn sunburst look a bit sharp ? not seen one like that though maybe a bit variable Obviously not OE pickups

Yes the charges can be quite insane £12 “handling” on a declared £20 item is not unusual i imported a bridge and it cost double after charges

Think HMRC are just pushing things through charge-wise at moment - lack of people

Ooh 🍿time IMHO there is a small difference these days but its minimal at best and not worth the extra ££ mex instruments are IME fine in quality now, I see US as not consistently well made as they should be for the price asked

Should I ever have free time before I’m old and grey 🤔I’d actually like to do both

No - that’s for fine tuning the drop. There’s a lever on the side of the bridge 🌉

Yes I really do get by with two basses, a single zoom and a little amp 🤔

I’ve got my bass out of it’s cupboard storage after a mere four years of non stop diy on a money pit house. Leftfield choice … I’m learning Surrender by U2 - it has slap, harmonics and a good finger style groove also and is not over-challenging to my very out of practice fingers. Now I just need to recall how to count to 4 … just out of shot to left, right and behind (mostly) is just some of the kid-detritus that I’ve yet to shift on eBay …

Fixed

But Andy, it has too many (and much too weedy) strings; it’s a guitar 🤮…if this was a rodent it would be a black rat with ysenia pestis

That’s totally amazing 👏

How about people Get ready, by Curtis mayfield ?

Fine job

Nothing obvious

Possibly - it’s been sitting in a gig bag in the cupboard so it’s not like it’s had trauma I’ll open it up tonight and have a look plugged in so I’ll know if it clears

You mean inside the bass ? I’ve tried two different cables

Can you translate ? Even my Babelfish is scratching its fin on its head trying to figure that out

Fixed

Addendum - when played acoustically is very clear so not a badly cut nut, poor string winding on peg, high fret etc

Is there to be a ladies toilet too ? 😛 not in the slightest bit jealous, oh no …. 😞

Guitars? I see nothing defective, stunted or weedy here
