Welcome aboard!!

The 2020 rules were pretty clear. If its in the signal chain it counts: basses, amps, preamps, pedals, some PA gear I think. The exceptions were consumables (strings, cables, picks) and replacements for breakages. Having said that, arguing about whether a particular purchase is in or out is half the fun 😉

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! Stick around after you've bought the bass. We're a friendly bunch and have members from all over continental Europe and incontinent America. Most of us also have a taste for terrible puns and wordplay, which will stretch your English as well. Though not as far as the equivalent would stretch my schoolboy French.

Presumably though, you can't adjust the action if there is no truss rod. Other than the bridge height?

Good Luck With The Sale.👍 Recording should be a matter of getting a WAV or mp3 and attaching it to the post like a picture, but links to Soundcloud and FB videos work too.

😁 TBH that's me. But it's good to be reminded that these are Electric Bass Guitars, and you get more change in sound from twirling the knob than you would from changing the neck.

Hmmm.. 🤔 Fast 4/4, think Quo shuffle: "So you think it's easy, running this show? You think there's stinky poo that you don't know? Well it's 3am and you're flipping well right, I'm tired and old and been up all night. There's not enough people and not enough money, and not enough time. Do you get that, Sonny?? So get off Facebook and get off your derrière. If you actually want to help us out of this farce. Use your common sense and follow the rules, we know they aren't perfect but don't act like fools. You try leading the team when the game always changes and when half the players are whingers or ragers. And maybe, just maybe, in 40 years time, when we've paid back the debt and the economy's OK and we've mourned the dead we'll look back and say. We all got through"

I'll give myself until Monday, then give up and ask for help.

I regard the notation jokes as educational puzzles. Some are easy, but the latest on one on the bad jokes thread is annoying me no end.

Welcome aboard!

Last year was easy, all I bought or needed was strings and a pedal tuner. The tuner sits in the signal line so I went out on that. This year I actually want to fail more impressively, somewhere around the £700 nice bass mark would be good. But alas I have the same wise old birds as @Al Krow, telling me that I've already got a bass way better than I am, a new one (even a nice 5-er) won't make me play better, and I just practice properly. Having no shops open doesn't help. I'm in, but I don't want to be!

Welcome aboard! Ignore any rude comments in the forum about "the keyboard player's left hand". It's nothing personal unless of course @dave moffat says it.

That looks really good with the matching headstock.

The sign of great cleverness is often the simplicity of the solution to a tricky problem. I'm prepared to bet a lot of thought and testing went into the selection and wiring of those tiny resistors.

To all above: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Welcome aboard. 68 isn't old, it's "Vintage" with "Mojo".

Welcome aboard. Nice kit. You may be a bit late for the Gear Abstinence Thread 2021 😅

Welcome aboard! Build diaries are awesome!

The purr-fect QC Checks at 3:20 and 13:08 made me laugh.

An important bass-ic difference.

Not "cool". But poignant and kick-*ss at the same time. Play loud.

Those ukes look great👍
