I have a works event that Saturday, which is most annoying. I would MUCH rather be eating cake and talking bases. I wonder if/how I can get out of the works thing.... 🤔
-
That made me laugh out loud - and then I had to explain to my wife what I was laughing at.

Aluminium is a commodity metal, so ring for the price might just be the norm as it might suddenly vary wildly. If you have a machine shop or small engineering fabricator nearby they might be able to help.

Hi @PTB At this rate not until the summer sometime. I'm likely to be working away from home much of the week for some months, so weekends are getting booked up as the only time to do things at home. Apri, May and June are now out for me 😞 What we should have done, of course, was to immediately book the venue and date straight after the last one, thus putting a stake in the ground before anything else. If anyone else wants to organise a bash then please go ahead!!

Richard R replied to JoeEvans's topic in Basses For Sale
That's great. I'm only playing 5 string these days, but have a bump for a very cool bass. -
What are you listening to right now?
Richard R replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
Popped up on Spotify. Dead simple, some might think cheesy, but I rather liked it. This would make a great and unusual addition to a Wedding band repertoire. -
It was supposed to be The Grateful Dudes in Kings Heath tomorrow, but instead I will have to mend the dishwasher 🥲 So it's just Eric Clapton, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets, Half Man Half Biscuit and the Dudes (again) to look forward to over the next few months. Mustn't grumble!

I happened to see these in B&Q this afternoons and thought "Those might be useful outside in a marquee". They might do as stage lights too. stanley-festoon-80w-6400lm-corded-integrated-led-work-light

A man with his own jewellers' peg, neat. Or is it an old template for a Kramer-style headstock?
-
I love these build threads. I am both envious of the talent and jealous of the tools. Or possibly the other way round.
-
Boingy is good. I like the max bass version.
-
Yes, but if anything comes of it I'll start a separate thread. I didn't intend to hijack this one. And a bass IS way cooler than software, regardless of anyone else's view.
-
I've just listened to that on proper speakers. What a great tone! Not sure how to describe it, sort of "fretless boingy bass", in a good way.
-
There are, but I'm not sure I could face it. It was quite hard. Fortunately there is a chap who is playing through every known Computer RPG, and he actually played and reviewed it in 2021. I only found this link yesterday, so I am still reeling a bit. https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2021/02/game-400-dragonsbane-1983.html?m=1

That bass is excellent! It has certainly lasted longer than the only thing of note I made when I was 17, which was a Sinclair Spectrum game. We had it published and made some money, but unlike a physical bass you couldn't just pick it up and play it now.

I just had an explore round the Nonlinear circuits Web site. He has some other strangely named modules: The suppository of all wisdom
-
I like that a lot. It's got character.
-
Sorry. I'm just really excited to see the bass, as it's such a great story.
-
Photos of the whole bass please! Before and after! There are no photos on your posts, should there be links?
-
Very neat. Which shouldn't affect the sound, but probably does. 😉
-
Or maybe talk to a timber merchant and see what they have as offcuts you can test with?
-
I should have checked the CCLI numbers.😁
-
I never see the full piano music, either chord charts or lead lines, so never get a specific bass part. This is the one I was thinking of.

It was more than 6 months ago, so the YT service recording will have been taken down and just the sermon kept up for reference. It was just little trills and fills rather than the main motif. Imagine " King of Kings, (plinkety-plonk) Majesty (plonkety-plink) ". But with slightly more finess!
-
Last time I played King of Kings I listened back to the recording and realised that the keyboard player and I had both been putting little arpeggio fills in at the same times, but a couple of octaves apart and always slightly different to each other. It sounded terribly sophisticated, and I bet we couldn't do it again if we tried!
