SpondonBassed

You want to do the fancy carve. I can almost feel your quivering here in Spondon.

@Louisss8sss I am assuming that the bass offered here yesterday for £50 was moved to the For Sale section. Please let us know how you go on? I'd love to know if it plays after it's dried out.

Surely a Hohner or Steinberger paddle bass would be a better option?

The signal from piezo is still an electrical one. Because it is such a low output any induced noise is likely to be more noticeable than conventional pick-ups. Grounding the hardware is a must. Even if you use non metallic strings I think you'd have the problem. The bass is a beauty. I am gob-smacked! It would sit well amongst older and more traditional stringed instruments yet it is very much of this era.

You wont need a stiffener after that glue goes off. Heeheehee Thanks for posting. I was unaware of fEARful before. It's great that someone has made plans of this calibre freely available. Looking forward to seeing more on these. GLWTB

Funny. We get lots of US stuff too.

Welcome John. It's good that you've stuck with the rhythm section. Some go over to the dark side and take up guitar!

I was going to suggest a stronger alternative like heavy duty aluminium tape. We called it speed tape at work. That was because the adhesive withstood the drag on aircraft travelling at over 500mph. It's weatherproof. I think the equivalent can be found in the public domain where roofers buy their supplies. I didn't mention in the end since it can't be soldered for electrical bonding. For strength, should you have any concerns about brittle walnut down the line, I'd sacrifice a further half millimetre thickness from the top and replace it with a piece of 26 gauge (Imperial) stainless steel sheet cut to fit snugly without adhesive. The pot and switch attachments should stabilise the assembly. I'd recommend against bonding anything thicker than tape to the walnut because of differential expansion due to changes in temperature. You can still use copper tape if required. Nice to see some form emerging. Looking good.

Welcome Brian. Cool screen name. Have you met @PaulWarning? I sympathise about BBCA. You are lucky though. Domestic BBC news is rammed with news of the Royal engagement. It ceased being news the day after the announcement. I'm happy for them and all but I think the news is compromised somewhat by their obsession. I suppose you get all that TNG repetition because it's got Patrick Stuart in it.

I'm assuming that you will line the chamber with adhesive copper tape. That should offer some stability.

Cue the widdly music that is so often misunderstood over at the More Beatles topic.

The Plank 1967

Ahhh, theory. I have a theory about being lost in music;

The locals call the song Feh Across the Meh.

I like your style.

I bet it rapidly gets really cheesy. Want a cracker?

Ahhh.

If you come over to visit you need to be aware that the song was a fund raiser for victims of the Hillsborough disaster. It should be considered compulsory listening unless you want lynching scouser stylee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferry_Cross_the_Mersey 'In May 1989, a charity version of "Ferry Cross the Mersey" was released in aid of those affected by the Hillsborough disaster, which claimed the lives of 95 Liverpool fans the previous month (a 96th, Tony Bland, died in 1993 as a consequence of that disaster). The song was recorded by Liverpool artists The Christians, Holly Johnson, Paul McCartney, Gerry Marsden and Stock Aitken Waterman. The single held the #1 spot in the UK chart for three weeks[4] and the Irish chart for two weeks.'

How many others are there in the band Dave? Might it be possible to take over the reins, for the interim at least, with another vocalist?

Well put. Thank you.

Lulu is a Scot and she still makes TV appearances on rare occasions. She has a much better back catalogue than a lot of folk appreciate. Did you like Cilla Black? Were you aware of Merseybeat music? Beat or Merseybeat Music

I saw this character on another clip where, at the end, he drinks a large glass of what looks like milk then goes to throw up out of sight of the camera. Why does he want to share this behaviour with the world? Does he think it is the way forward? In the light of this, D504 can easily be forgiven. That's assuming you think he's done anything wrong of course.

Sorry Dad but for some artists it is as easy as falling out of bed.

P1ss artists all over the world are laughing at that remark. But yes. Patron of the Arts used to be a thing didn't it? I'm betting it was tax deductible too.
