I had this - their terminals use GPS but that only has a 10m radius resolution From space so it may have been delivered next door or left somewhere. If a neighbour doesn’t bring it round I’d challenge the postman with what he/she did with it. I think that some posties scan it then put it in their pockets. We have very obvious cctv so no one tried it at this house if no joy then definitely report it not delivered at Royal Mail cust services

It was a warm day - daughter in bugggy in Mac Donald’s - shed taken her socks off. Beggar approached and held out hand, I pointed at daughters feet. beggar held out a fiver ...

The way I see this is that we do this anyway ... imagine bass playing by root and fifth in a ii v i progression based around c, you’d play D and A, G and D followed by C and G. To make it more interesting you’d throw in some chord notes such as F from the Dm, the A as a passing note in the G and do on that’s a mode, isn’t it ? D Dorian right there..then G mixolydian

I actually had a gypsy beggar offer me money ... true story

For a jazz ? Red or brown I have actual celluloid available, poured, not printed as you can see from the depth of the top layer I just rubbed some brown shoe polish on the white Black white layer and it looks fairly convincing as “old”. You can’t make proper old style celluloid now as the chemical they used are noxious (I understand)

Emphatically yes

I got a big box of them (lots of kinds) quite by chance so yes Let me know

I’ve tried to do it and never really got close to as good as yours

I’d leave it you can get stud extractors that work well or use a dremel to cut a flat head

“You are the church of love and suddenly I’m feeling holy” - voices of the beehive - I think their songwriter is/was a member

He had a good life ...

I’m still amazed ...

That’s very true the paint went on nicely but was quite soft for ages

Link above I used dark grey under to get Olympic white

I think aerosols are restricted actually

You paid £14 ? I have one you could have had for half that

If I were in a gigging band I’d do that Bryan Adams and mel C song; one of my female colleagues is in a working band and says it always goes down a storm

“Olympic white jazz bass with a difference”

If you check my jazz bass build thread that’s exactly what I used - be very careful about your choice of undercoat colour - good advice given in that thread by the folks on here. I found it on eBay - reliced up a treat @Useless amateur this was the seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331769206320 although this listing is for clear laquer

You must have been unlucky - he has always been awesomely helpful

If anyone knows mr currie in person then feel free to tell him how much I appreciated “waking hours” once I listened with my bass player ears fitted

I met him once, just as he came off stage and was heading for the gents - very charming man 😎

I’ll nominate Justin currie Of del amitri subtle, solid and very tasteful... whilst singing

Couldn’t you find your own head then ? I always find it just above my neck somewhat below the ceiling (or sky if outside). Maybe you were outside and they needed the flaming torches to help in the search ...,🤔
