  1. Presumably though, you can't adjust the action if there is no truss rod. Other than the bridge height?
  2. 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.
  3. 😁 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.
  4. 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"
  5. I'll give myself until Monday, then give up and ask for help.
  6. 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.
  7. Welcome aboard!
  8. 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!
  9. 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.
  10. That looks really good with the matching headstock.
  11. 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.
  12. To all above: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  13. Thanks for that. Not worth dividing the bass into five parts each of under £135 value and shipping separately 🙃
  14. Do you have any links you can share? My understanding was that goods manufactured in the EU and the UK would not be subject to tariffs. Mayones are made in Poland, so I don't think they would be subject to tariff or tax, just paperwork. Quite happy to be proved wrong - does VAT apply on second-hand goods?
  15. Welcome aboard. 68 isn't old, it's "Vintage" with "Mojo".
  16. Welcome aboard. Nice kit. You may be a bit late for the Gear Abstinence Thread 2021 😅
  17. Welcome aboard! Build diaries are awesome!
  18. The purr-fect QC Checks at 3:20 and 13:08 made me laugh.
  19. An important bass-ic difference.
  20. Not "cool". But poignant and kick-*ss at the same time. Play loud.
  21. Welcome aboard! Apart from SBL I've given up on any other bass forum. Why go elsewhere when high quality, socially distanced, well informed, highly useful and occasionally incoherent, ramblings are all here?
  22. Welcome back onboard! I finally got to visit NI this summer when travel was briefly possible, and spent a week up near Ballycastle and along the north coast. Lovely part of the world and I'm looking forward to going back and exploring the whole of NI sometime soon.
  23. Welcome aboard! Though one doesn't normally say that to fish.. Cheap gear and good playing is better than the other way round. Which is what I have.
  24. Hey, if it does then it's a damn' fine one 😁 Look forward to meeting you in other bits of the forum.
