I do hope you eventually finish it. I'm picking up an HB 5 string with a mashed truss rod nut at the weekend, courtesy of the Recycling thread here. I checked with HB and the nut is welded onto the rod and can't be replaced, so the fretboard will have to come off and a replacement put in. It's a project for the autumn when the nights draw in and I don't have to water the vegetable patch every evening. And I have saved up to buy the required clamps for gluing it back on again. Seriously, a dozen more clamps could cost more than a new bass.😁

Holy Thread Revival @stewblack!! What was the final outcome of all this? I am shortly to embark on a similar exercise to replace the truss rod on a cheap bass and I remembered this from lockdown. I have just re-read the entire thread - but I now I need to know the ending or I won't sleep properly!

Welcome aboard! I've heard lots of good reviews of the band, but never quite got to see you live. I shall have to make more effort.

Welcome aboard. Sorry I missed your post the first time. How's the practice going? I started a few years ago and was dire for months, bad for a while and am now tolerable. But enjoy myself and keep up with the band most of the time 😁

I am thankfully not stuck in 1967. Those terylene nappies were not comfortable!

Meant to catch up on this one. Did you get it playable and what does the band think of it?

Wow, two months between posts. That has to be a record. I am stil trying to go out, but can't justify the purchase I want without flogging some kit. So- If someone here can help by buying this off me (and it doesn't count for this competition) then that would be great and I will crash out in style 😅 https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/477376-cymatic-lr-16-live-recorder-2x8-way-loom-£260-open-to-offers/

That's how I feel about Linix too, but I have seen it done. Like you say, shame to bin something just because it's O/S isn't supported.

You're welcome, and our job here is done

Welcome aboard! I do like the Sunshine State Mind you it's 26⁰C here in the UK, which is frankly ridiculous!

Beaten to it - snooze I lose! 🙃

Welcome aboard!

All credit for the righteous groove you laid down which got her so enthusiastic!

The best sentence I have read anywhere this week. Hope it's a blast - what sort of things are you playing?

They were great fun! Saw them twice

Welcome aboard! Nice set of gear, I could be jealous of the amp and cab .

Listening to a playlis of songs I need to learn. Having not played for a few weeks my left hand is knackered! Link to Spotify: Songs To Learn
