But once you know it's unzipped, you can't unsee it. Rather like the dodgy patch on his ceiling in the Murder On The Dancefloor video. 😂

I've been tinkering with my Elwood L fretless of late. I added clear scratchplate some time ago, but recently made that into a tort one by adding some thin celluloid behind the p/g. I've also added a DIY thumb rest made from dowel and painted with nail varnish. I've started to notice a tiny, tiny ridge between the neck and fingerboard; I guess the ebony has shrunk a tad. Doesn't affect the playability, I just know it's there. Still love this bass and it is definitely my go to. Weighs next to nothing (3.2k IIRC).

Who Do We Think We Are - the forgotten Deep Purple album
ezbass replied to spectoremg's topic in General Discussion
It seems to be an album that was worn out by a lot of folk. I've never worn out another LP and I've certainly played many of them as much, if not more (Made In Japan for instance), I wonder if the pressers used cheap vinyl? I remember, that after wearing out the intro section of Woman From Tokyo, when I heard it out without the skip, it just sounded wrong. -
I think changing this to the blue of your van and 'Ray will be a very nice improvement. Looking forward to the updates.

I wore out Woman From Tokyo on my copy. -
I found them less gooey than other flatwounds. Give them a quick wipe over, all will be fine.

Now that's just Ezbass flavoured click bait! 😂

The king and queens of the earworm. 🙉

Oh, the horror!

They weren’t even original in their thinking, using that system previously and probably most famously (especially from a bassist’s POV) pioneered by the Berry Gordy school of pop production (and I suppose Phil Spector).

I’m sure that there’s a whole bunch of BCers who’d be interested to see some of this pottery within the OT pages. We are, if nothing else, an eclectic bunch.

Ah ha! A quality quilt, tender timber affecting the timbre. Ooh, is that my coat? S’alright, I get it myself. Yeah, it doesn’t make much sense, but it’s the low level of my lockdown humour* (*for a value of humour).

“That old thing, I’ve had it for ages. It’s the reason I bought that new white one.” You’re welcome.

I found it a natural transition. However, all my fretless basses have been lined, which may have helped, but I’ve also played unlined which wasn’t hugely different. But it doesn’t matter if any of us found it hard or easy, what’s important is that you’ll have one of those beauties. 😉

I tried to watch it, but eventually it all got too painful. It felt like something someone sends to an ex in the wee small hours, after too many beers. Get over yourself, you sad man.

Gig meets demolition derby. I feel you're onto something here.

Mmm 🤤.

I’m curious about the patch on his studio ceiling. Man alive, I need to get out more!
-
I feel you’re poking the bear, but it was a particularly bad pun on my part, so I’ll let it pass 😁.

Drive-in gig in Sydney. Also, It seems Keith Urban did a drive-in gig in the US. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-52749186?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=5ec5f43dd8c22c0653b2f681%26Drive-in concerts kick off in Australia%262020-05-21T03%3A36%3A50%2B00%3A00&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:44b6cb2a-5508-4d8c-b74c-29d1e0d30b02&pinned_post_asset_id=5ec5f43dd8c22c0653b2f681&pinned_post_type=share

You’re saying the timber affected the timbre. Sorry, we know wood affects tone, but I couldn’t resist the play on words.😂
