Not sure what tax you mean but air fares are zero rated for VAT.

I had a pair of Aerodyne Precisions. Really nice but found the pickups a bit weak.

I would think 'befriend' is going to be in every dictionary.

SKB. My Precisions all live in them and the bass doesn't move at all in transit. It's the FB4 model you want. The FB is probably significant. I have put a P-bass in a Hiscox and shaken it and the bass moves around. Not so with the SKB - which has a lifetime warranty.

That is rather nice.

Its twin is waiting ... 🙂

Rather like the look of the fretless at the top.

Yes. It's always horrible to see it at the top of the topic list.

I'm routing more. 🙂

Only too happy to help, Chris. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Steve

There's always the fall-back method. Look as though you're playing and keep looking at the bass, holding it up and look as though you're trying to figure out why it stopped working.

Let's face it. That's how Free would have done it themselves.

I have a 1972 bridge on which one of the saddles collapsed. I changed the bridge on the bass and so have a 3 string bridge spare. I would be inclined to keep the 3 remaining screws etc (as spares for one of my other old basses) but I can send you the bridge plate if you want one without the drill holes. I guess you could (with care) swap the screws etc and maintain the string length/height etc. The bass it came off is a bit of a hotch potch of bits (combo of 1968/1972 parts) so I'm not sacrificing a fortune in resale value. Drop me a message if you want me to send it to you.

Stay at the same volume and get the band to play quieter. The old school method.

Well, this is the plaice for it. Not the sole place, of course.

Absolutely. If it's him you can rest assured all will be above board. Worth making sure though.

Really interesting. Thank you. Funnily enough, I had always thought that was a slightly 'un bass-player like' bass line.

That is what a bass guitar should look like. IMHO, naturally.

I'm not aware any bass lines were written for him.

I'm reminded of a certain tv and radio personality who died an innocent man, but certainly wasn't.

I was going to post about Lorri Maddox being 13 at the time of her union with Jimmy Page and was looking at the history of the age of consent in the US, not wanting to get things wrong. Rather stunned to read that in 1880, the age of consent was generally between 10 and 12. I then read that, in Delaware it was 7!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair amount of competition for sonic space among that lot!!

Whiskey, surely! 🙂
