  1. I've got a red one that I was willing to let go. Please PM me if you're interested. 😉
  2. I've read again all my posts in the aforementioned thread. Strange to see that I was direct and never insulting, as usual, but some people seized the opportunity to talk their filth. I explained clearly my position, why I was upset and cleared all I wrote, but it remained non understood by a lot including the one who was the most concerned. Now, I think it would be a good idea to close this new thread before it goes again in the wrong direction. @ped : It's up to you.

    Does it have a palindromic ambigram ? 😎
  4. Then, it's not for you. Not that it's not good for funk, but it will need some preamp tweaking to get the sound you would want. But it won't be immediate and could sound bland to some, because these instruments are intended to be "transparent" with almost no sound signature but yours. That said as @Woodinblack wrote it, Alain Caron sounded the same when he was playing a Leduc bass. The sound is in the fingers, not the instrument, but in this very case the craftsmanship level is very similar so maybe he would sound different on a P-Bass... But not that much in my opinion as he could make it sound the way he wants. Fingers again !
  5. There was this brand named Whale, could it be it ?
  6. It was a problem of tuning stability with the Travis Bean that led their roadie go by Wal that was just near the studio and borrow a bass that Mick Karn immediately adopted. It's indeed in his autobiography, but where...
  7. Mick Karn used a way much more heavier Travis Bean. 😉
  8. Yes it is, turn it 180 degrees. And a palindrome is not spelt, but read the same from both ends, which means you can read in circles for infinite speeches. Yek, yek, yek.
  9. I bought my clipper with an integrated file by my pharmacist some 30 years ago, still have it and working fine. My sister in-law is a medical pedicure : I can ask her what are the best brands for clippers or pliers...
  10. It's indeed also an ambigram, but it's firstly a palindrome as an ambigram isn't necessarily a palindrome. Got it ?
  11. Strange as this logo is a palindrome, so must have been well thought. I'll look in the Blue Book.
  12. Never heard of Alain Caron ? Here's F-Bass website : http://www.fbass.com/
  13. What about staggered locking reversed tuners ? 😁
  14. I had a few basses with the Neuser NFS. It's a pain in the *ss to set up, but it's working great. It's based on the flat sitar bridge.
  15. If you angle your head by 18 degrees, then there will be no need for a string tree. And by turning the piece of wood of the headstock upsidedown, you'll strengthen the weakest point of your instrument too. It's more than a win-win situation. 😉
  16. Carl at Lord of the Strings has sent me 3 new Fodera strings immediately. I call this impeccable service ! 👍
