You've been practicing with the Bill Tongs though. You are a juicy old fruit aren't you.

I place my thumb on the thumb rest (I don't buy basses without), I don't mute notes and I only play with one ☝️ plucking finger. Dreadful technique all round but I can play bass and chew gum at the same time.

Thank f*** someone is still talking sense...

This is very true. I could also add another 1K for the nodding dog toy on the dash which, fortunately, no longer nods.

Ah, apologies, two points I forgot to include seem to have led to this confusion. a) my driveway is made of tungsten and b) my Volvo 200GL is the 1983 iteration which, I'm sure you remember, was built entirely out of tofu.

I crashed my Volvo 200GL on my driveway this morning. Completely ruined front grille and bonnet, will need a new axle and gearbox. Currently on sale for £33,000 o.n.o.

RIP Terry Hall...

I shall be messaging you forthwith.

I came back to this thread to show the chap the bass built from the wood he gave me, now I want a telebass like this one, would it be possible to make a hollow bodied one?

@Jabba_the_gut I discovered yesterday that the blocks of wood I gave you were Iroko wood which is the same wood that school science tables were made from.

I'm going to lay my bass in the road, reverse my car over it, gather up the wreckage in a pile and set fire to it. Then I'm going to toast marshmallows in the flames while Bobby Crush plays an easy listening version of Thunderstruck on the piano in the background. I know it's an odd response but it's what came into my head whilst watching that insane video so I'm sticking with it.

Get him to try short and long scales. Whereabouts are you, I have 2=some short scales, he is welcome to try them out. I don't think it is much to do with how tall you are, more just what feels comfortable to play. I played 34" basses for decades before I tried a short scale and realised I should have been playing them all along. Yes, the only way to decode is to try them out.

What is the top left unit, looks like a 70s radio?
