Fields of Gold - Sting

The Cure & Steel Panther find themselves sans bassist - Basschat membership, “Hold my beer, I have auditions to attend.”* *Or at least you’d hope a few might.

Waltzing’s for Dreamers - Richard Thompson (Double connection, RT was at school with Hugh Cornwell)

His other videos are a bit good too, but that Olinto stands out.

This came up on my YT feed; me likee very much.

No problem, you’re welcome. With my fat fingers, it’s a bit of an issue hitting the blob to the left of the thread title, which takes you to the last unread, regardless of the account setting. Therefore, finding a sausage finger solution was paramount.

In account settings…

Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me - Slade

Shotgun Blues - SRV

Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

It Must Be Love - Labi Siffre/Madness

Thank you very much. You called? Ooh! My sock is on fire!

I Don't Remember - Peter Gabriel

This ^^^^

Mmm, tasty.

Some top skills in evidence there. I can see children’s TV snapping you up. The Pistols’ video is very clever.

Since You’ve Been Gone - Rainbow

Looks like he’s raided an Ibanez Musician for the parts and built something that doesn’t have the gravitational pull of a dying sun. I saw HT a couple of times in the Morrissey/Mullen band in the ‘80s, he was great.

Quality response. Kudos, Mrs Ped. 😆

One of his many build threads, but this deals extensively with truss rod replacement and neck repair That’s an extreme version, but just adding a washer, or maybe two, to add a little more back bend is a tried and trusted method. I had to add one to my Fender Roscoe Beck Signature when I first acquired it to reduce the amount of relief to the flatness I wanted. I had to ream out a washer I had to make it fit, like the guy says at the start of the video.

That's all very poor. Not good service at all. Thanks for the clarification. Any chance of naming and shaming?

Did the bass come with a long/lifetime warranty? If it didn’t, expecting it to be sorted out 5 years down the line, after 4 years of trouble free use, might be asking a bit much from the builder’s point of view. Did SIMS say it had been made badly at all? We all, myself included, want ongoing, trouble free ‘mileage’ from our instruments but, unfortunately, sometimes things just fail and we have to get them fixed. I’m not having a go, BTW, just looking for a bit more insight/playing devil’s advocate.

I bought a JMJ earlier in the year and, as stated above, it comes with flats as standard. I later fitted some EB cobalt flats, which I think suited it better. I then went for some rounds, which sounded good to, but I’ve gone back to the cobalts as I think they’re the best fit for my ears.
