Thanks for posting such a comprehensive review. I've never heard of an eight-string bass, or heard one. When would you use one, and are you able to post any sound clips?

From the website "With this beautiful bass guitar, you can cheer yourself on delivering a wide range of tones with perfect vibrations that flows out from its Toon wood body"

Anhydrous alcohol wipes. Not the 70%, the 99.9%. Nothing else comes close. I used to buy boxes of 50 individual wipes, but I don't seem to be able to find a link to share.

Welcome aboard

On the other hand - he probably doesn't come from Warwick, and your deductions about the bass are correct 😁

He could play Foderas, but hail from Warwick...

Following with interest 👍

Welcome aboard

Welcome aboard

Pit band for a major show. Respect

Welcome aboard .

I agree, it's a justified classic. But not one I'll reach for very often.

This is one of those albums that I admire more than I like. Clearly the songs are really well written and carry lots of emotion, but not emotions that resonate with me. Probably because - to quote Hermione Granger talking to Ron - I have the emotional range of a teaspoon. 😄

Welcome aboard! Love the home built EUB! Please post anything else you make (or indeed that one) in the build diaries thread. There would be a lot of interest in those.

Kraftwerk - TransEurope Express. Good album, but would be very boring to play live, especially as a bass player 😄

When I first read this, I thought you were joking. Then I realised you weren't, so I read it again and looked more carefully at the headstock. It's a really neat idea! 👍 What might also work instead would be to run a parallel scratch also from the top of the headstock, exactly the same length, pointing to the 3rd string hole. The current one points exactly to 5th. The two lines would then frame the bau logo and match.

Welcome aboard! There are a fair number of members of this forum based in Spain. Off the top of my head @Bassxperience is in Barcelona, @bassalbert I think is Madrid. There are definitely others, and lots of friendly people all over the place.

Welcome aboard! If North Staffs had anything like the rain we got in Solihull this afternoon then yes, it was pretty miserable! However the sun always shines on BC

I'm cross-linking to this, as @scrumpymike has posted it on the SW Bash thread, but it might be interesting to others. The T-shirts aren't branded to any bash, are good quality, and in my experience are guaranteed to get you a "What on earth is a Bass Bash??" response when you wear them. 😁

Do I detect a very slight exaggeration for comic effect perhaps? No? Oh well 😉 Maybe just Acoustic DB/EUB Fretless 4 5/6 Weird and Wonderful

That's a great scrabble word. Or would be if it was in the dictionary.

@funkgod lots of good, and terrible, suggestions above. Have you picked a winner yet?

Off to buy a 2022 diary so I can put this date in it.

Welcome aboard!
