    Your right about a change of key altering the ‘flavour’ of some tunes. Also, I don’t mind changing by a semitone but any big intervals might be fine for a solo, vocal performance, but if it’s a piece for an entire congregation, some folk are likely to really struggle with such a big difference.

    Glue it back in, once stained, it’ll look like grain. There’s some nice figuring in that top, especially on the upper bout.

    Great gig bags (although they’re so much more), I have one myself.

    I thought we were an autonomous collective. You’re just kidding yourself.

    Quality thread mashup!

    Entertaining in much the same way as folk slow down to look at car crashes.

    Paul sold me a set of used EB Cobalts. He despatched them the next working day and they arrived safe and sound soon after. Another faultless BC transaction.

    Ah, OK. It was just speculation on my part, I know nothing about the band concerned.

    Hmm, probably, but I’d go in with my eyes wide open for control freaks. It could also be covering up for a lack of social media savvy.

    Your comment is supported by a video I watched featuring Carey Nordstrand talking about P basses. In the video he referred to making basses with wood as a “crâp shoot” as they never really know what they’re going to get with any certainty.

    I think much will depend on what you find under the finish. If it’s reasonably attractive, I’d go lighter, like Mick Ronson’s LP, but if it’s a bit of a dog’s dinner, darker would certainly be the way forward, perhaps echoing the LP junior, mahogany vibe (think Bob Marley’s LP junior).

    For me, the reverse was the placement I preferred in all positions. More solid and punchy to my ears, less scooped.

    Red setter? No? It’s alright, I get my own coat. One more fret would be ideal for me.

    Maybe try playing another way with your right hand? I used to play this in my old band and loved it. Sometimes, I’d play it normal fingerstyle, sometimes with a pick and other times with my thumb and index finger. I found it a very different feel with all 3 approaches. I know what you mean about over thinking the part though, if I thought about it too much I’d confuse this section with the next, somewhat easier, octave section (not good). Other than the r/h different approach, just lots of repetition is the only advice I can offer; sorry.

    There are a few SS case bag threads, but this one has a few options within.
  17. ezbass
    That’s been my take on it.

    I get that occasionally, it always seems to be new for sale threads.

    There’s a video from the Dune shoot where he’s just walking around the set with his 51/54 hanging round his neck between takes.

    There's lovely, isn't it?

    What’s going on @neepheid @Reggaebass @RhysP? Proper measured, tongue in cheek, friendly interaction? Where are the bared teeth, shouting and machetes at dawn? Shame on you

    OK, this is video is by a guitar player and features some widdling (damn fine widdling though IMO), but you can skip past those. Chris Buck here addresses some of the very points raised in the last few pages. However, he doesn’t rant or get bent out of shape pushing his own agenda (or someone else’s), he just calmly makes a solid point that if you think something makes a difference (including breakfast cereal) and helps you perform better, it’s all good.

    Noooo! 😱* *Actually not all that surprised really. GLWTS

    I’m not normally a fan of matching headstocks but… 😍

    I suppose I’m a Phil Jones fan when I think about it. I originally bought a Cub (marvellous thing) then a PB300 to make the Cub gig-able, then a Bass Buddy to make a super compact rig and then a Flightcase for a variety of rigs (the Cub and Bass Buddy have long since gone now). Finding myself in sudden need of a new pair of headphones last week, I looked at PJ again (this time I did buy elsewhere). I reckon that probably makes me a fan.
