Some nice work there. All good ideas to steal 😉

Never heard of them, but just checked the web site and they're playing in Solihull in September so I'll get tickets. Thanks for the recommendation 👍

Where all the big knobs hang out?

I'll be there drooling.

Welcome back!

Nice table, not sure how you would keep the water flowing in a bass body 😅

This isn't a build diary, or even about basses per se, but I saw a very neat idea this evening which could make a very interesting top or body for a bass. At a restaurant in Bowness on Windermer (Boardwalk bar and grill, very nice), I was distracted by the tables. Talking to the owner, he and one of the waitresses had made them during lockdown. The wood was cut rectangular on three edges, planed and thicknessed. Then the centre was filled with the coloured resin, and when that was hardened the whole lot encased in clear resin. Looks cool in the restaurant, could look very cool on a bass body. I won't be doing this any time soon, but I'll post it here for anyone else to maybe pick up.

As long as that's true of the basses, and not Mrs. Geek99. 😳

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! There are a couple of threads for bands wanted and bassists wanted for bands. And lots of friendly folks to chat too on here as well.

This could also be the first greeting thread to get locked for descending into Iniquity!

Welcome aboard! Usually a good selection of P-basses in the marketplace, at all sorts of prices!

Welcome aboard! As @Newfoundfreedom says, post in the wanted section and keep an eye on the market place. Stick around though, there's lots of stuff here to interest and amuse you.

P.s. other threads are available

Welcome aboard @Ebenue. From someone who wasn't press-ganged by @Frank Blank and the rest of the WCPS.

Or the landlord books and pays you, and puts the payment through the expenses system. But it is what it is, and once you're set up it should all be workable. Maybe they had to introduce it because too many landlords were fiddling the books? Who knows?

This shows exactly why repurposing an internal expenses system to pay suppliers is a bad idea. If you imagine it as an employee request to go to a conference followed by claiming the expenses associated with the trip, then the process and the naming convention makes sense. It's still not nice software, but that's what it's designed for. Hopefully if you have regular gigs with the same pub it will become straightforward.

Souper!

While @Frank Blankand @Richmake very valid points about the factors influencing NpP, I maintain my stance that it cannot be predicted theoretically in advance. The idea is turtlely misguided.

Had the day off today and had time to go to GuitarGuitar in Brum and play their 4003s/5. Interesting... Took a lot of faffing to get the sound I wanted, and completely different to play than mine, but I rather liked it. Not enough to spend over £2k mind you!

For any thread in Basschat there is a number NpP, which cannot be determined in advance or theoretically, but only by observation of the thread. It is the number of pages at which the thread spontaneously degenerates into a collection of dreadful puns. Some threads never degenerate, or have not yet done so, and have NpP=0. This thread has NpP=2.

That's job satisfaction right there.
