Are you sure you aren't a closet keyboardist? I might feel similarly if I owned any tweeters but I don't have any HF tendencies in me.

Right. Melfunkshaun! The OP can't have this name until I have exhausted all possibilities of getting a Melvin and a Shaun in my band and then being happy that they aren't going to assassinate each other because it sounds a bit like Melvin jumps Shaun's bones as a part of the performance. It's that or bully some innocent musicians into changing their names by deed poll on the thin promise of a lucrative five year touring schedule.

I've got them on the Squier VM Jaguar. Lovely and compliant.

Not so much a band name as something that dull suburban dads do about once a year. Ahhh. Early PF reference. Nice. Is that a quote from Tubular Bells? The one I like however is:

Finally, first builds underway 🤞Both now complete

May I draw the distinction between the Forstner bit and the drill bit for some of the readers who might take them as being the same thing? Forstner Bit Used to quickly remove large quantities of material and leave a flat surface. Short pilot without threads - Doesn't penetrate the workpiece much beyond the depth of cut. Does not draw the bit into the workpiece Flat cutting face with three or more cutting edges - Multiple cutting edges reduce the tendency towards chatter. No side flutes - Side flutes are unnecessary for this sort of cut and can remove material that you want to keep. Wood Drill Bit Used to make holes for dowels and screws. Larger pilot with threads to pull the drill into the workpiece - Bites into the workpiece and can draw the bit past the depth you seek. Flat cutting face with only two (usually) cutting edges - Two cutting edges offer less friction and speed up the cut. These tend to chatter and the hole cut is seldom true. Side flutes to break up wood chips as the drill penetrates deep into the workpiece - Necessary when drilling deep. Not needed for shallow cuts and can be a handicap when you seek precision cuts. -
What if your band is already called Pornsite?

Taking funk, soul, jazz and adding foot I thought Funk Foot Souljazz might work. The contraction of the name looks eye catching for the fliers too : FFS.

...and it will be drawn in a more manly shade of pink, say, light purple. That's a phrase that's best said with one's back against a wall when in mixed company. Facetiousness aside; that's some lovely looking material you've got to work with. Good luck with the build! -

I remember when there were no Standby switches, only Off switches. Ah... happy days. That's one thing that may well be regarded as a valuable antique one day. -
"kevazingogate" It's a knotty problem.

OK. This is a mass produced Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass in its original form. It has however been breathed upon by our own @Andyjr1515 and is quite unique in appearance. Some of you may recognise part of it from Andy's previous avatar. Although stock in essence, it got a refinish, a modified scratch plate and a full set-up. It's a great sounding bass anyway but now it looks fascinating too. Whilst nowhere near as unique as his complete builds, it is with pride that we (Jack and I) can say that we've got something nice by that nice man at AJR Guitar Mods from the time before he got famous and started to live as a recluse in his own private lumber yard where he started rolling out wilder and weirder basses such as the Spruce Goose bass with its massive wing span. -
That is weird. It's back. Must have been a forum fart.

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.
