  2. This is a public forums. It would be a good idea to remove your mobile and ask people to PM for that contact number instead
  3. Yes, i can confirm - here's a thread i've contributed to. Any thread i posted in has a star.
  4. I nearly understood that
  5. I see your point, but I would think a stepped drill bit would be easier and more accurate , no ?
  6. Good points
  7. Well how many bassers out there want Midi bass ? Thats pretty niche. 3 or 4 years for a build is rediculous unless they have an enormous order book. Even Wal dont quote that long, do they ?
  8. Yup, too woolly for me
  9. Vari- focals are like looking out of a fishbowl. I went for Bi-focals, or Bi-vocals if you're called @Velarian Sorry V
  10. I don't see how a Forstner bit would work, as they can't be centrered on a hole that's already there.
  11. How do they stay in business with those build times ?
  12. Great tutes indeed. I used to play Halloween on fretless, and although this guy isnt giving a tute, it's an easy enough bass line to play, and one of my fave Japan tracks
  13. Brilliant - some bassisters have a sense of humour
  14. Boss VE20 here, used for backing only. Has everything needed. I believe there's a Boss VE2 now which is smaller than mine. Take the time to set it up properly and they work fine
  15. I'm not going to be much help, as i was the other way round. I started on guitar and moved to drums first then bass. I could already use all the left hand fingers by the time i moved to bass, and still use all four when fretting bass, though not chords. I have a spanking Taylor 12 electro for when i feel like a twang
  16. Someone's having a giraffe. 9k for a poorly made bass when it was new, but has since spent it's last years at the bottom of a pond ? Looks in worse condition than a plasterer's radio Bleugh
  17. There's no such thing as a trem bar
  18. Nationofzeros logged in here 45 mins ago, so assume he's seen the lastest posts
  19. I've had an Alder Jazz body off Northwest and it was superb.
  20. Dont worry, he's way down the bassist food chain compared to Pasty, Entwistle and Flea
  21. He was, as was Eno But Mackay, Ferry, and Thompson missing ? I suppose some bands are back on the circuit without any original members and still call themselves by their original name, but for me, thats Trigger's broom. Roxy with just 2 members just isnt Roxy
  22. Got the studio CD, had if for decades Studion version is called Liston Now, and came out in '77, a year after 801 Live - brilliant, but AFAIK Eno is the only original Roxy member, so it's not just a Roxy album minus Ferry
  23. Not much out there weirder than Zappa She had that Camarillo brillo Flamin' out along her head I mean her Mendocino bean-o By where some bugs had made it red She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest And every newt in Idaho And every cricket who had chorused By the bush in Buffalo She said she was a Magic Mama And she could throw a mean Tarot And carried on without a comma That she was someone I should know She had a snake for a pet and an amulet And she was breeding a dwarf but she wasn't done yet She had gray-green skin, a doll with a pin I told her she was awright but I couldn't come in And so she wandered through the door-way Just like a shadow from the tomb She said her stereo was four-way An' I'd just love it in her room Well, I was born to have adventure So I just followed up the steps Right past her fuming incense stencher To where she hung her castanets She stripped away her rancid poncho An' laid out naked by the door We did it till we were un-concho An' it was useless any more Is that a real poncho? I mean is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho? Hmmm, no foolin'...
