SpondonBassed

Any chance of a follow up topic for the forum please? Don't worry about your English. It's better than some of our native speakers these days. I only watch music vids these days due to a tightly limited data allowance. So I shamefully admit to never watching your videos.

But then I'd have two daughters with the same name - that'd be confusing! That's interesting. My post from which you quote above has gone.

You could have called her Audi too... after Audi Quattro.

Welcome FM. You are but a nipper compared to some of the old scrotes and scrotesses in here.

Maybe you're not famous but then fame is vastly overrated. We like you anyway. May I ask how your pass-around bass is doing - any news?

I'm loving how @scrumpymike's mate's walnut is finding its way into some stunning instruments. Talk about your mojo. That's truly spiritual.

Isn't he the one who's portrayed by the short actor who absolutely is not gay?

Saw her perform at Markeaton Park for free in the nineties. Although she isn't particularly chubby of cheek she has chops. Loved the show.

I have them on my fretless Vantage. They sound warm and thumpy. They're a vast improvement on the roundwounds that were on before. Also, they're easier on the fingerboard. It is finished in black and has worn in a few spots already. Being black with gold tails they look smart on the all black Vantage.

Welcome Graham.

Cheers. I've already voted for OHMSS though. I'll stick on that. I think the film as a whole was the most engaging of the series for me.

I kinda liked the 1967 Casino Royal. Herb Alpert and he Tijuana Brass were rousing on that soundtrack.

Even I'm not going to look for the TAB version.

Oo. Mysterious. I like mysterious... just so long as you provide closure at some point on the forum.

I kinda got that. It wouldn't really be a criticism to say so either. Your quick turn-arounds must surely provide inspiration for that special bass build you're going to do one day. You know, the one where you spec for hot pups and pramps. I see plenty of others here getting inspired. No shortage of ideas and proof of concept builds with your build pages. Good man!

Cool.

@hiram.k.hackenbacker had an issue with a neck in the last few months with a Fender. At first and in order to quickly fix the issue he bought a Status neck to replace the Fender one with the broken truss rod. This was good enough to help him keep his gig commitments. In the end, I believe Fender supplied a new neck without making the additional demands you mention. Mr Hackenbacker might be good enough to give a better comparison of the two situations (yours and his own). I doubt that it will help other than for interest though. I admire your determination to get a good result without throwing lots of money at Warwick.

Well... they can't do you for it. I suppose it speeds up production somewhat doing it that way too. How does it stand up to scrutiny in the close-up stills from performances that you've had done for promotional material? Time will tell. Ignore me. I'm still a bit Mondayish. It's a great way to prove a concept while avoiding the tricky routing and bonding process.

Welcome Shmeo.

Oh they're definitely past their best. Send them to me and I'll take care of it for you.

If I accidentally dropped a set of fret markers at your place I reckon you'd build a bass around them! Irrepressible.

May I suggest you name one of them Joanna please?

Beautiful job.

Ooh! Thanks. That the composite one and all. My wooden one has a lovely voice. Something in me rebels against the notion of having one though. Composites are for aircraft and light structures in engineering generally. Too technical to make me feel there is much soul in it.
