“Blues tribute” from eBay totally immense sound for pennies folks at bass bash said it ‘sounded just like a p bass should’

That’s nothing

Freakish looks, body armour and heavily armed… don’t say much … yep, it was filmed here, on a quiet day

That looks like locals from my town

I think Hugh toured them, Alec did studio, then Hugh got larger role, though never with a spotlight

Think you’re right on the money there. Ten bonus points for calling him in person rather than using a text agree 100% with @Lozz196; better now than farther on down the road which sounds totally guaranteed based on what you wrote

I would like to say that the fact that we have ladies on here discussing technical stuff is a good thing (tm). No intention to be patronising @Smanth, I’m the father of two girls and I’ve never shied from showing them how to do stuff so they can do it for themselves there’s more to bass than just groove and how to play “rhythm stick”; though it’s a fine starting point. Here endeth the lesson

Yes @Smanthyou should read his thread, he might be able to assist you

You’re welcome - one problem solved at least

Yes you can buy such clips quite cheaply with a thumb screw to hold them in place https://www.northwestguitars.co.uk/amp/headstock-mounted-allen-key-wrench-holder-for-floyd-rose-tremolo-guitar/

I do understand patent law as it was the subject of my Law degree dissertation. I got extra credit for taking on a subject I hadn’t studied formally you can’t just tweak it a bit and get a new patent. You have to demonstrate a new and inventive step that makes your design unique and non obvious. It not worth a company’s time and money if it cannot be patented (slightly over-simplified) though the US case of Diamond suggests things can be a bit more lax there alternatively a second and unrelated use for something already invented … such as viagra as a sexual stimulant when it was originally a heart drug

Surely some one somewhere already solved these problems …

Sssshhh - you’re not the only one. My mum said they were boring and she preferred the Stones

Especially the three-minute long ones

Thanks everyone - I went for the sennheisers and I’m not disappointed when listening to laptop music, will try with bass and amp tonight

Any. I randomly tried them on my bitsa made of jap parts and they work fine. Also tried on a jap 62 reissue… also fine

🍿…

Yes, the much larger price tag for pretty much the same thing

Yep @Richard R that one indeed, looked like a jig saw

Actually I just love the look of them. I might fiddle with the tone knob for soul, but it’s basically vanilla P for me.

You might want to get dimensions from @petecarlton he has a tiny bass that works really well. I’ve played it

Common problem - swapped mine out for a neutrik replacement from maplins

My bass doc precision

You could try a paper suppliers like paperchase? Many moons ago, before I trod the path of the righteous man (and woman) , I was looking for snakeskin paper to coat a guitar body and they had some

You’re not fitting in, mister. You should have a wall full of boutique coffee table basses by now
