Er, your bum does look big in that.

Are you royalty? I mean you have a NBD coming and now you've got this one that the public can celebrate. You're a lucky lad, whatever way you look at it, with two new workhorses to add to the stable. Congratulations! I've discovered a fondness for one of the range myself. For those who don't get the signature files it's the SR605 (two-position mid).

I can't wait until you walk past the Left-Handed Aluminium Double Bass Emporium then.

Newtone made a set of five 34" strings for my Steinberger Spirit. They were about forty quid five or so years ago. Length shouldn't be an issue. He wasn't doing tapewounds then. Maybe he's expanding the range at his newer premises.

Cool. I understand the battery is located on the headstock. One of the FAQ vids for fretfx says that it isn't supplied for fitment with the battery on the body, nearer the centre of gravity. If you already have neck dive this could exaggerate it. It looks like a reversible modification. It would certainly be a way of finding if there is any value to lighting up your instrument. It sounds like you are happy with yours JV.

I have copied the content of this message here as it is a more appropriate place for further discussion: When SubsonicSimpleton contacted me and asked if it was okay to comment in a follow-up message. I suggested that the comments be made here or alternatively I would forward them. He has made a good point.

I believe he was a cottage industry all by himself, allegedly.

No but you got me searching for background to both names and it left me better informed. Cheers.

Is that strip just the same width as the fingerboard's depth? I think the YT clip I saw may have been another product or a development of a similar idea.

Did you ask if they knew any Quo?

I like the sound of that. If there are enough band members to make that possible it must make every gig exciting and a little bit special.

Welcome LS.

Hahahaha! No. Nor is Valerie Singletons knicker elastic under threat. It looked like you have to cover the back of the neck with the stuff but I'm not sure if it's the same product.

It seems to be a sticky backed plastic arrangement in one of the YT videos.

Lucky Len.

One Two Three Yes, it's a word according to some dictionaries. It is mildly amusing to find that neither Oxford, Cambridge nor Collins online dictionaries seem to carry a definition of the word whilst happily promoting the use of amazeballs with impunity. Good grief. If you do get as far as the third link, there are a couple of interesting variations of the root word - slump

Hey! It's @Dad3353's first kiloWatt! Powerful stuff!

Release the birds! Oh yes. Deep joy.

That's the bugger! I must get our Jack to order a bushel of those. Thanks. I get nice little curly shavings when I burnish the edge. I haven't done great amounts like that but I imagine you'd need to redress the edge frequently if you were going for it. Must see how it goes without next time.

That's a scary enough prospect to bring on a heavy bout of constipation. I bet your acquaintance ran straight back to the muggle line.

Aha! Any chance of seeing one of those? I have two images in mind. One is a single sided razor blade with a burnished edge (I must restock but no one in real life has them), the other is of a suitably sized cabinet scraper.

I only ever get to practice on my own. Sometimes even I don't turn up for that.

Has anyone, accidentally like, weed on David Lynch's hush puppies? (loud silence) That'll be a "not yet" then.
