    Bananarama - Love in the First Degree and Nathan Jones (especially the dance moves in the chorus), love 'em.

    Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic started the RHCP slide for me - the albums before it, I enjoy much more.

    Measure the width of the fretboard, call this c Measure the height of the fretboard (could be tricky without verniers), call this s (sagitta) The radius can then be found using this formula: [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]r = (4s[/font][/color][sup]2[/sup][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] + c[/font][/color][sup]2[/sup][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif])/(8s)[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Haven't tried it myself, it's all derived from Pythagoras. Might try it tomorrow on a known radius.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Can't claim credit for the maths. I just enjoyed a pleasant mathematical half hour researching it.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Dario[/font][/color]

    My lad plays guitar, but when he was 9 he had to play bass in a school concert. He used my p-bass and had no problems, he's average sized. He played sitting down so the weight wasn't a problem.

    [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1482427933' post='3200542'] I recognise this the other way round: coming from circles in Holland where oblique literary references are the order of the day, I suddenly lost an audience when moving to Norway. Initially I thought this was a cultural thing, but happily I found out later it was more innocent and just that Norwegians are stupid... (Seriously though: it IS a cultural thing. People with more education than I have could react strongly toetroddenly. ) [/quote] I look forward to finding out what toetroddenly means .

    Just been watching some xmas songs on Vintage TV and they played a Pet Shop Boys number from 1997 which was vaguely humbugish. That got me thinking about it, I can only think of Fairytail of New York. Any other miserable, bah humbug Christmas songs out there?

    From the missus: Vegas by Sleeper mentions Elvis and Sinatra

    There's a guy down the chip shop, swears he's Elvis - Kirsty MacColl (what a great voice).

    Good Time Boys (RHCP) mention Fishbone, took me ages to remember the song title!

    [quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1481146208' post='3190103'] Which is the bass one? They all seem to go to guitar parts? [/quote] If you click on the cog in the top right, you can choose the instrument to view.

    Hi everyone, I can't seem to find a set of original specs for my 2006 Jag, as I want a new set of strings. Does anyone know what gauge I should be fitting? Thanks, Dario

    Hi all, I've just bought a new (to me) bass from the forum so need to sell this. Everything you need to know spec wise, is on the link below: [url="http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015/USA/SG-Standard-Bass.aspx"]http://www.gibson.co...ndard-Bass.aspx[/url] I've only used the bass at home and it still has the plastic film on the pick guard. The only thing I have changed is to fit flatwound Rotosound strings. There are some nail marks around the "improved contact jack", made before I got the hang of pulling the cable out! The case and everything that came with it will be included. If you would like further photos, no problem. I would prefer that you tried before buying, with cash on collection. Trades I need a combo amp so something like a TC BG250, anything that'll be fine for gigs. What've you got? Thanks for looking [attachment=232345:IMG_3586.JPG] [attachment=232346:IMG_3587.JPG] [attachment=232347:IMG_3588.JPG] [attachment=232348:IMG_3589.JPG] [attachment=232349:IMG_3590.JPG] [attachment=232350:IMG_3591.JPG]
