Are you unaware of the 11th commandment? The fire writing on the tablets was a bit large and they couldn’t fit #11 on however it says “thou shalt hold St Leo holy and thou shalt not disrespect a Fender” so I’m forecasting fire, brimstone and hot pokers for you, mister”

Are you on a mission from God and likely to order dry white toast ? seriously, I didn’t have an old band as we lived at the outer edges of the back of what was some way farther away than Beyond, but I really wish that I had had one i know a drummer who described his teenage years as non stop gigging every night and I thought “you lucky b’stard”

Maybe the staff were riding horses and muttering “stand and deliver”? Possibly also a flintlock pistol in there somehow ?

Tv electronic bh250 gets my vote

The Joshua tree stuff was inspired by US touring during war and unforgettable fire tours

Normal female hands. However I’ve seen truly petite women wrangle a p bass for a full show, see Enid from Girlschool as an example just get a shorter scale bass like 32” or a Hofner lady I know has very small hands but is buying a Harley Benton beatbass

Mine are 7.5” too and I wear large gloves other things slightly on large size so maybe you do have big hands ?

May I draw your attention to Spanish Eyes? B side of Streets, very much a kick ass baseline. @ConstantineIsslamow posts a great cover version of it

I agree in part, pickups and their construction and placement do make some difference- (a strat doesn’t sound like a telecaster and their size and materials are very similar. wood** less so as a factor … and I’m obviously right 🍿…. ** unless blesses by fairies back in 1961 of course … extra 🍿

Being slavishly adherent to the original would be my guess?

I bought a u2 play along book once and all the sound tracks were recorded in c#, e flat a#, very annoying
