Excellent! By then I hope to have sold the S-max and bought something sporty and impractical instead, so we may not be able to all pile in together.

S'what it says in the rules: 😳 Events Members often organise 'Bass Bashes' all over the country. We also attend major music shows and events. This is your chance to meet a Basschatter in the flesh. Clothes optional.

But when he said that, Rorschach wasn't actually wearing his face. 😉

Simplified version, for those of us that don't play jazz: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203221794216

Welcome aboard! Interesring guitar. You'll probably get more replies/ answers if you post the questions in the Bass Guitar thread, lots more people there who can help. (This thread is more like the lobby to welcome people.)

Like the paint. That's going to look great under lights 🤘

Collecting Dust - Recycling - Basschat Small pots with desiccant in the lid, ideal for collecting wood dust. Or small screws, or little beetles, or whatever. Don't want them to just go to landfill so advertised in the free recycling thread.

I have 32 of these small pots, ideal for collecting dust in. If you think that's ridiculous then you should probably spend more time in the build diaries thread! They are about the same size as 35mm film canisters, maybe a little smaller, but the cap has a dessicant in to help keep the contents dry. They are the canisters that blood test strips for diabetics come in, and I get through a pot of 50 in about 12 days. I'll post them in batches of eight, as they are too thick to post as letters so will have to go as small parcel, and it's not worth posting ones or twos. PM me if interested, and if you miss out then more will be along soon.

That's a very classy place to put your monogram 👍

Welcome aboard! For some reason the idea of a Fake Gibson named Givson amuses me no end. Plenty of fake Fenders about here too.

Welcome aboard! Love Barcelona, one of my favourite cities 👍

Welcome aboard! Though if you're still on the canal perhaps that greeting is irrelevant 😁

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! Where abouts in the bay area are you?My company HQ is Menlo Park, and is expanding like mad. We're shipping IT kit to people's homes, so I've unexpectedly had to look up places like Santa Cruz, Fremont, Palo Alto, Cabalo. I live near Birmingham in the UK, so SF all seems very exotic.

Welcome aboard! Very nIce indeed. How about confusing yourself further by stringing E-C?

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

This has probably been answered elsewhere, but how do you care for and polish a bass finished with Tru-oil? It's not like a hard varnish, so do you just clean with a soft cloth? Use occasional guitar polish? Do you have to reapply the oil every few years?

You don't regard that as serious?

One twelve-year-old, absolutely fine with me and I'll probably learn some technique. One twelve- or eighteen-month-old, also fine and I'll teach them to say "Four strings good, five strings better" Twelve eighteen-month-old kids, maybe less keen on that.. 😅

On any scale of workmanship, linear or log, Andy will be so far to the right you need another piece of paper.

I won't be rehearsing any time soon as I'm needed for either sound desk or livestream duties. But I am hoping to have a bash with a mate on Friday evening. First time playing with someone else since Covid, so will be taking February's purchase.😀

Welcome aboard!
