    My new G&L 5 string is made of Empress (Paulownia) and comes in at a very pleasing 8.8lbs.

    I gigged it on Saturday night. I have never before been so nervous about dinging an instrument. I have never owned a brand new bass in my life.

    Ah. Yep. Awkward. I bought a 2nds LH Harley Benton Tele for £13 once because the double dots are on the 13th.

    Sorry, I have to ask what the issue was. I have looked but cannot see. My wife has suggested this is a problem in general for me.

    It arrived. It is a shade under 8.8lbs and I really like it. I cannot deny I like a FSO and it is ticking all those boxes.

    The man writes good copy.

    I had a bass which cost more than I care to even think about. The scratchplate was not cut well. I sent Brian Pillans it with a description of what was wrong. The replacement was bang on.

    That is a cracking job.

    I have a tracking number. It's getting real.

    Wheels - just say no. I cannot imagine any outside surface I would roll my bass on.

    Proper lush that is.

    I like to think that I am consistent.

    Actually it was a Ffendar Jass Bass. Hilarious if you are from North West Wales. Less funny for everyone else.

    Been there, done that! Rhy hwyr dwi yn meddwl.

    You cannot rush the tone. Are planning a nice bit of burl?
  18. Owen
    You are not wrong. And with a bit of checking and a tiny bit of wear + a matching headstock it will be very lovely

    That is a very yes indeed.

    I lucked out on a 73 P with an A neck. With a massive brass nut for the full 70's experience!

    I think I am naturally left handed but have always used my right as my dominant hand. I most certainly do not have the right hand dexterity I see many, many others operate with ease.

    Thumb position. We play the best of instruments. We have the best notes. And yet, people want to go and imitate 'cellos being played badly by playing really high up. I just do not get it.

    But they are a high tax country. I do not understand, we have been told that does not work. Surely our government would not lie to us?

    Filling them would be a nothing job for any decent luthier.
