  1. Irony, it’s like bronzy and coppery only it's made of iron, as Baldrick said I’ve spent the whole trying to work out why a huge multi module “mvnw” script from sonatype was failing on my pc only, which at 1629 today turned out to be a typo in their (widely published on GitHub) script and not my issue at all
  2. Lucky you don’t use that one at work
  3. It will be beat .... thin soft paint for maximum relic
  4. @vinorange anything look familiar ? @Groove Harder I finally got there, it’s only been a year ...
  5. Getting there .... The plate still has film on it I need to connect pup to pot need tug bar fitted i still need to get concentric knobs from somewhere BEFORE any one points it out 1. I know the first position block is slightly wonky 2. I know stack knobs didn’t have blocks and so are not strictly accurate
  6. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283108593058
  7. If you imagine a maple neck, it’s a dead ringer for that one
  8. Unopened except to check content, strings are vacuum sealed still I’ve sold the bass to a lady on eBay and just found these Price is posted within uk
  9. and a skip to take delivery of all the grain filler needed, and then another skip full for filling in the vast yawning chasms that will open up whenever anything liquid like say, paint, varnish, cleaner gets within 100 metres of it.
  10. whatever wood you end up choosing, just make sure its good for playing metal. curses.....
  11. So the neck is on bridge on earthing strip in 62 style straplocks MOP block markers Tomorrow: earthing in cavities Pickups strings control plate although I have no knobs dry fitting of Tort celluloid plate and tug bar ive given up on the body, it’s as good as it was going to get. It looks okay from the front and will relic quickly as there is minimal varnish and the nitro paint marks and scrapes easily, more so given careless handling... and who on earth would be careless in handling it?😎
  12. yes but Marco is Belgian and speaking almost perfect English but with little practical knowledge of British wildlife and locales. “Staffie” might leave him a bit puzzled. I was keeping it simple for him. As a speaker of a few languages, I know from bitter experience that’s it’s the hardest thing when you have to untangle irony mixed with local reference and make sense of it in the language that your head is using. I mean Vienna, new year pigs and marzipan ? That one had me thrown till a local explained it slowly @Marcoelwray a staffie is a slang name for a breed of dog, a Staffordshire terrier. Heavy, thick set, often used in illegal dog fighting. Some are nice and some are unpredictable at best.
  13. @Marcoelwray The welsh emblem is a dragon. The north of wales is home to people who speak Welsh as a first language, rather than English with a welsh accent as is more normal in the south of Wales @Vinny is joking about the wild countryside in the very north of wales saying that even dragons would be scared of the place
  14. I did, to be fair, add myself right back again
  15. eBay for the copper tape, get conductive adhesive
  16. Look up “the knowledge” with regard to London cabbies and then you will understand why this is a fantastic offer.
  17. Stick with black cabs, perhaps @pbasspecial will be working when you’re in town there is an app for phones where you can hail a proper London cabbie to your location - I can’t recall the name of it but someone here surely will
  18. I’d recommend the slug and lettuce on Hannover street for decent food just off the main drag of regent street - ok for kids and nice beers, plus clean toilets No lumberjacks however, so you might like to bring a red checked shirt Slug & Lettuce Hanover Street 19-20 Hanover St, Mayfair, London W1S 1YR 020 7499 0077 https://goo.gl/maps/ccTfGYc7ZwN2
