Sky Arts is also on Freesat, channel 147. Great topic Paul.

Looking forward to seeing it as I recorded it earlier. I heard Lee being interviewed this morning on 6music. The track they played at the end caught my interest.

Thanks for tagging me in. It's lovely, isn't it? If I had that sort of timber, I'd be sorted for my scratch build though. I'm more interested in those spare guitar stands.

Normally the B and E strings would be tapered at the silk end to allow the strings to wrap against the tuner capstans more easily. In this case, as you've cut them down from full size, the full thickness if the strings is too much. Have you considered having Newtone make a set for you with tapers to suit your uke?

I've never subscribed to wireless. I was overhauling wifi touchpads (Fujitsu Teampads) for Tesco's home shopping service during the noughties and I know how mediocre wireless connections are in a crunch.

I enjoyed it. It was interesting to learn of Ian Dury's earlier band Kilburn and the High Roads. Also the musicians that were going in the same circles as Nick Lowe and Brinsley Schwarz. Plus one on Noddy's commentary. I still love him though.

...and targetted ones at that. I'm with you on that. If I pay extra for TV I don't want to make myself a commercial target. Quite the opposite. Viewers put up with far too much commercial rubbish as it is.

@Raslee, I bet soon you will be going mwah*. Great neck refurbishment! *No not just with the fretless. Mwah as in socially distanced air kissing.

Judging from the response, I'd say so, yes. And here. Freesat 147. Freesat is all we want. We have Freeview as well if we choose but Channel 4 music is about the only thing that has over the dish box so we hardly ever bother. We don't stream. With a PVR and the repeats and the +1 hour channels there is no need. Anything genuinely worth watching will eventually trickle down to the free services. It's only telly at the end of it. How much of it do you need?

PVR set. Thank you.

Ah right. Also cool.

*Thanks*

Is this the @Bassworks bass that he's mentioned on another build thread? Cool.

I know a good home for it and all. Just saying. Heeheehee

Welcome Martin.

I think that's actually called a fleet of Corvettes. There's even a navy one in the middle.

I wish you many happy hours of playing with it.

It's got to sound good though. Fibre neck and EMGs. Passive?

Okay but it would be a shame to lose the contrast in my opinion. The carbon weave on the pickguard sits lovely with the neck.

Welcome WB.

Nice pickguard on the right hand example. I don't normally like them as a personal choice but that's got a good shape to it.

It does sound odd for a B3. Although I've not gigged, I am very happy with the sound through either 'phones or combo.

Welcome Auvke.

I wondered. No need to apologise. I get like that with all the new fangled names for applications and web services. At least neither of the applications are named after orbiting pork like m00np1g! If I recall, Jamulus is not a peer to peer network. Hmmm. I may well contact you and @hiram.k.hackenbacker. I can't say when but thank you both.

Are you doing it for the sound or for the appearance? I imagine the bridge sound will be thinner on the heavier strings and the blend with the neck pickup will allow you to taper off the bottom end or thicken it up before you even touch the tone controls. I'm wondering if the blend works a bit like a midrange sweep.
