I’m seriously thinking of my bursting my own eardrums just so I don’t have to hear it again. If Peter kay did that as a routine we would all say it was too much

The book is excellent

i was lucky that it was a church run OM so a fairly relaxed crowd with the requisite number of kids doing violin and so on.

knowing a host as I do, he told me it was really hard to balance people. I didn't really believe him but I think I understand it better now @nightsun He managed to fit me in with the house guitarist and it turnred into a regular spot that we did. It was seamless but I see why now.

Its going to need a second dose of grain filler to fill in the little pin holes and a small trench on the back that I didnt see. Also a rounded sanding bit to tidy up the lug hoes. I'm on holiday at Bass central in Florida so things may go a bit quiet.

Try a fret saw @BrunoBass I mean one of those saws with a fine toothed blade that you can change direction with easily. Big metal rectangular frame. edit : a coping saw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coping_saw

well not quite - I went to my first OM and there was a house guitarist who would support a lone vocallst or a group of kids. Not quite the clapton wannabe that others describe, more a support crutch if you need one.

I’ve never tried an actual jam night but am also equally aware of being the “ only bass player in the village” syndrome open mic mic was fun though as I tried lots of stuff I hadn’t heard before

I go for black pearlescent

the mic is built-in, and the piezo comes with it.

@Matt P I had exactly that one, in a twelve string acoustic I suspect that its a clone, but it works just fine and the tuner is good. Its quite easy to leave the tuner on, flattening the battery One thing I would say is that you need to be careful how much wood you remove to fit the swing battery design, but thats true of all those ilk. I mad e a cardboard template first, then cut out to that. One thing, I did not like the rope coiled wire pickup it came with, I bought an artec 12 string "solid bar" pickup on ebay, as I prefer the saddle to have a solid base, the rope coil style was a bit squishy

Yuck Yuck Now I won’t get that picture out of my mind

I heard him playing the original in a concert on YouTube and it sounded mighty. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one wherever it was made

Isn’t there a sticky thread about people who makeit guards to order?

welcome smudge, I'm from suffolk originally but have an essex partner.

are you talking about the relocation, or the passage of 56 years ?

I’ve lived there. Went to college now a polyversity

I’ve got the vintage stingray clone and it’s really good

My “spider” branded one was exactly the same. Duff saddle pickup , or poor pre amp would be my bet. Look on eBay for a fishman clone preamp would be my recommendation - I put one in a twelve string and low E sounded mighty. It may suit a bass too, it only cost £20 delivered so not a bank breaker to try. Artec do decent bass under saddle pickups so maybe try swapping that first

Only ever once, and that was top G on an acoustic 12 string (a 12 string isn’t really a guitar as such, so I don’t feel dirty to have owned one)

That’s what pulled me in bear in mind that with a preamp you can get a conjoined tuner and that’s quite handy

Indeed-big exclamation mark
