If your using a chop saw then I would buy a good quality new saw blade for it that should stop any furring or cut it slightly oversized about 2-3mm each end then use a router with a new flute cutter in it and using a straight edge rout it back to finished size then you should have lovely edges.............😀

@AussieBassman I posted you were correct?? I think @musicbassman posted one just to keep the game going? it is only a bit of fun..........😀

I agree that Walnut is far too nice to cover........😀

That’s correct!!!!

All of the bass lines I can play off by heart are the easily recognisable ones so I thought I’d try this one to make it a little bit harder?? Some parts aren’t quite right but hopefully it’s close enough for someone to guess it!?!...............😀

I’ve got one ready not the best I’ve ever played but I did only start trying to play it tonight hopefully you’ll should get the idea??.............🤔

How rude!! who’s got a potty mouth then!!!😜

What an ugly stick!!...........😜

At first I thought it was Muse Hysteria but now I’m not so sure??

I’ve haven't got anything ready at the mo so if anyone else wants to put one up go ahead.........👍

Sounds like Summer nights??

I’m stumped I was thinking the clue refers to albums with numbers in the title so that got me thinking maybe something from Stone Temple Pilots or Pearl Jam but they only released 1 album each that is just a number???? Am I at all close but reading the post above great shout!!

I was thinking Deep Purple-Truth Hurts??

I did the same I’ve just stuck it on with double sided tape and if it’s a snug fit it won’t move anywhere..........😀

I agree with most of the other posts you’ve done nothing wrong so don’t feel bad try and try and do a side project with the drummer I’ve only been sacked once from the only band I was in it was completely my own fault the lead guitarist/lead vocalist tried throwing his weight about with the other band members trying to intimidate them into doing what he wanted so after a very heated argument at one of the rehearsals I really lost my rag and chinned him (but he had it coming to him) a while later I saw the other band members and they said his attitude had changed completely so my actions helped the rest of the band but not me.............😕

No worries I was just thinking whose turn it is...........😀

That’s correct!!! I’m a big fan of Tim Commerford I think he’s very underrated player!!! @Johnny Wishbone you might as well put yours up if you e got one ready while we’re waiting for @oZZma and @Richard R to put theirs up i need to try and do some more tonight and try and make them a bit more challenging.........😀

I’ve got one ready to keep things going another nice and easy one but I love the riff

@durhamboy I meant in a finished bass for example I would record the same riff on a few of my basses that are all made out of different body timbers and different fretboards then put the people to the test who whole heartedly believe that the wood used is the most important part the bass to identify the woods used just by ear alone and if they can do it I will then believe the whole ‘tonewood’ thing but until that happens I’m going to remain sceptical........but I guarantee most people would be able to easily identify whether it’s a Jazz, Precision, Stingray, Rick etc tho Like others on this thread have also said it just feels a bit like a marketing ploy if you want to make your neck sound more ‘bossy’ then add 3 ebony laminates oh yeah and that will cost you over 3k extra and pair that with a medium growly Coco bolo fretboard for an extra 500 like the OP I find this laughable if you really buy into the tonewood thing if they told you that they can impregnate the body wood with unicorn sweat which will make it sound more ‘tonal and magical’ for an extra 8k some people would believe it and think that it will make a difference and probably order it Sorry if I come across like I’m belittling anyone’s opinion I’m just giving my honest opinion

No sorry I really couldn’t!! Maybe you’ve got a better ear for it than me? Now to me this dramatically different In my opinion the big test for whether which wood you use makes a difference would be if you could identify what wood the bass is just by sound alone??

I just listened through earphones and I heard that when played acoustically there was a very slight difference in sound but when he powered it up they sounded the same which in my opinion just backs up my previous post

I completely agree with the fact the set up is the most important thing you can do to a bass as I have a really cheap bitsa P Bass that cost me the pricey sum of £25 which I refinished, put a new £30 eBay special neck on it and strung it with flats then spent a good few hours tweaking everything so it was set up to exactly how I like it and it’s probably my favourite bass to play, I’ve got another couple of basses that I need to take the time and set up but haven’t had the chance? Amd paying for someone to change your strings to me is ludicrous it’s really not difficult!!........

Is it White boys and Heroes by Gary Numan??

Sounds a bit Tool-esque or am I way off bass??

Unfortunately this is an argument that is going to go on till the end of time!!!! In my opinion and what I’ve experienced in the difference between my basses is they all have maple necks and quite a few of them have Rosewood boards and some have Maple boards but they have different body woods (Alder, Basswood, Paulownia, Ply etc) and they all sound different but is that because of the timber combinations or is it they all have different style pickups in them or is it they sound different because some are passive and some are active????? So my point is I think the choice of pickups and preamps etc is more important than the timber used, and does the timber really make that much difference to the sound or do we like to think there is a difference to justify the fact that spending ridiculous amounts on custom basses using exotic woods in the necks and bodies will give you the sound you want????? But there again I might be completely wrong!!............🤔
