    He’s using a PICK. Loser... he’ll never amount to anything...40 years on no one will even remember his name

    No problem - just trying to help

    You don’t have to spend that much. Try a squier “classic vibe” or “vintage modified” Precision. Also Vintage V4 cheap to try out and you can sell it for same £££ if you don’t like it btw your English is fine - stop apologising

    I think by “changes for bass” you perhaps mean “trades” ?

    They still sell it - has a handy punch tool Drilling Oblique Hole Bit Positioner Locator Drill Guide Kit with Bushings for DIY Woodworking Tool 6/8/10mm https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075MHP2TF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bBbuFbZB1FZTG

    @benh see my build thread for the mandrel set
  7. Geek99
    You can get a drill mandrel from amazon that lets you drill totally straight - avoidIng the bench drill. Also a drill stand that takes your current drill works.

    Jameson is my number 1 bass hero. If I ended one quarter as skilful as him, I’d be very happy

    I’ve never had that many cramps

    I don’t like single cut, but I quite like that to look at. Amazing work there, mister

    You feel walnuts ? It’s important to check yourself regularly
  12. Geek99
    Yup, that’s what I thought
  13. Geek99
    No, they look 60s to me. @AndyTravis would probably know just by looking but as I recall 70s spacing is midway between vol2 and tone and that body isn’t built like that
  14. Geek99
    No, because he is a pr1ck

    I think actually Michael sings “... up the stairs....I’m pushing out punchlines that were never there”. I don’t have the stomach to listen to rem so I shall consult my friend who is a walking REM wiki. He was once in an induced coma and I joked that I could get him out of it by saying something negative about “Automatic for the people”

    I can honestly say I have never listened to Yes

    Maybe a delivery drone (the flying kind, not a Hermes person) could dangle it ? a strand of creeper perhaps

    The dinosaurs are just living in the past .... cue Tull
  19. Geek99
    He’s playing it with no audience, in his 70s. Give the man a break. He sounds way better than McCartney does these days
  20. Geek99
    At about 2:15, then he heads off behind the sofa
  21. Geek99
    Sure but is that country? Or is it western ? We have both kinds ... cf blues brothers in case anyone thinks it sounds familiar or (wrongly) that I’m being either clever or knowledgable 😏

    Fret wire

    Geek99 replied to TRBboy's topic in Build Diaries

    I wouldn’t go jumbo modern, why not vintage spec ? You don’t say what style of bass it’s going into
  23. Geek99
    Oh so only good for root and fifth in half time...hmmm

    Fret wire

    Geek99 replied to TRBboy's topic in Build Diaries

    I tried fretting once, long before youtube and I made a pigs ear of it. If I was doing it again I’d get one of those fret presses with cauls to do it evenly. i think the banjo wire comes from lee sklar’s Dingwall, he advocates the lightest touch possible IIRC

    My zoom fits easily in the gig bag with two cables and it runs on batteries and it has a built-in tuner ... OR .. you could lug a totally enormous amp and cabs into your car, out of your car, walk around it all night, lug it into your car .... try it my way, no fairies will die, guaranteed
