Could try your hand at applying a new veneer? The poster @apaput one on his Sue Ryder using an iron in this thread but the pics are gone: If my memory serves me (and probably it doesn't, I'm old now) he went through the process in detail.

People are still buying Clapton albums?

If you're going to play it then it's worth the money really. Otherwise nobody would ever buy custom basses! There's been a 30" scale fretless listed on eBay/FB for a while, think the builder is on here (it's cheaper on FB though): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165230310054?hash=item26787e72a6:g:WQAAAOSwb3RhAYK

Never knew what the original fallout was about so now BC has officially won can someone spill the dirt please?

Looking good, Gibson's own faded satin finishes look really nice IMO. A pal of mine has one of the SGs he picked up cheap and I prefer that to most of their regular finishes.

I this was a righty I'd be tempted.

Male and female gos will hunt the same prey. Both will take rabbits and pink torpedo pheasants which are pretty much the largest prey species for wild birds. Females will sometimes take hares as trained birds but avoid them in the wild. The sexual dimorphism in birds of prey is thought to be due to females spending longer on the nest and larger size is advantageous for keeping eggs warm and increased strength is beneficial for defending them. There's also some literature that shows prey items when birds are paired up and raising young may be more varied but by and large they hunt the same animals. I have a relative they has flown these birds all his life until recently, he has hybrid falcons now. EDIT As if the swear filter has blocked out "c0ck pheasants"!

All of this is pretty much irrelevant to the central point, which is to do with language and how some turns of phrase we may have been using without thinking about them seem quite sh1tty in the cold light of day. It is also markedly incorrect, as an aside if you want to look into human evolution and the roles of women then you may find it's far more complex and balanced than the simplified "man provide, woman breed" example you gave above. One Million Years BC is not a documentary, men weren't the heroic, prolific mammoth hunters and women weren't restricted to staying at home. Reviews of hunter-gather burials (which were all previously assumed to be male) have shown that 30-50% were most likely female.

You seem to be aligning smaller build with weakness or an inability to complete certain tasks. This is incorrect, just as a male goshawk is perfectly capable of hunting much larger and stronger animals than itself despite being substantially smaller and less powerful than its female counterpart. In a similar way Petersons assignment of specific gender roles and attitudes towards women is equally nonsensical and absolutely stems from his religious views. This is learned behaviour and in no way innate, Peterson himself is a classic example of this. Also wait a minute, the recent Reclaim the Night Protests were about what now? Are you being deliberately stupid and creepy here or just trolling? If you are being serious that is an amazingly tone deaf take particularly given the thread you are posting in, although it would explain the Peterson thing. The example you chose to use is one which basically outlines how we should 100% be looking into how we raise boys, how to identify/change certain patterns of behaviour and shows how much work we still have to do as a society in this area. The Sarah Everard case which triggered those protests wasn't due to her being physically overpowered btw, her attacker used his police warrant card and handcuffed her.

New endorsement deal incoming for Mr Clayton? https://www.thomann.de/gb/cuntz_guitars.html

Except lots of species show sexual dimorphism in the opposite way where females are far bigger, stronger and more aggressive, off the top of my head birds of prey, hyenas and a lot of amphibians. Please don't listen to Peterson when he talks about biological science, he knows even less about that than he knows about women and uses it entirely to prop up his religious beliefs around specific roles of men, nothing more. It isn't the insightful observation you seem to think it is. Quite what this has to do with the trait of persistently using terms associated with weakness to describe women when we as conscious beings are perfectly capable of not doing that is beyond me, to say we are hardwired and incapable of change is to ignore the last century of history.

Which inately programmed behaviours are you talking about, particularly ones that are millions of years old?

Peterson is absolutely on topic given the thread is about misogyny, fake outrage tactics and the ensuing "hurr durr why is everybody a snowflake except me" attitudes that stem from that. In fact in recent years he's probably done more to stoke the flames than anybody.

Interesting that his name crops up in threads like this though as the base of a lot of his pseudo philosophies is rooted in his pre-existing religious misogyny. A lot of the time he dresses them up by shoehorning actual genuine philosophical works in there and tries to align them with his own babbling. I saw one debate where he tried to dress up his masculine=order=good / feminine=chaos=evil nonsense with an elongated ramble about quantum physics (which he clearly doesn't understand), people were buying it too. I guess as long as there are thickos there will be grifters there to take advantage of them.

What's your budget? Some nice tiny amps out there like the Markbass 801, PJB Double Four & M7 and the Trace Elf 1x10 combo. Could always have a look at the little 6" house jam cab build on here and pair it with a nano head like a TC Bam or Warwick Gnome.

All of this is absolutely spot on.

Are people still following that absolute chud Jordan Peterson? Thought the king of the incels got found out years ago.

Click on clickbait, get offended at clickbait, write on a forum about clickbait. Guess there has to be something in the lull between Poppygeddon and the "they're offended by christmas" fury. As said above, this is manufactured outrage.

A pal of mine had the guitar version of this, he got it cheap when a music shop was closing down and offloading stock. Rather predictably that was one of the few guitars left after the place had been gutted! Unfortunately it was a bit sheeeeiiiiite and not nice to look at either.

It's an 8ohm driver wired straight to a speakon at the moment, would just like the option of adding another cab at some point. Impedance isn't an issue, just wanted to know if my idea of how to wire it is correct!

I'd like to add a speaker out to my EA CXL110 cab, it's had the original driver and crossover removed and now just has s simple backplate with a Speakon wired directly to a Basslite. In order to wire up an additional Speakon I take it I'd just connect it to the existing one minus to minus, plus to plus or is there more to it? I'm a bit thick when it comes to things like this so always check here first!

I still have my old Zoot Deluxe Custom, kept hold of it although I don't gig 4 strings any more and the preamp (an OPB3) no longer works. Keep meaning to dig it out and get it sorted as it's my joint favourite bass shape!

Ah the old "hit with a chisel than colour it in with a Sharpie" relic technique, only the most masterful luthiers are capable of such work.
