That looks really good with the matching headstock.

The sign of great cleverness is often the simplicity of the solution to a tricky problem. I'm prepared to bet a lot of thought and testing went into the selection and wiring of those tiny resistors.

To all above: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Welcome aboard. 68 isn't old, it's "Vintage" with "Mojo".

Welcome aboard. Nice kit. You may be a bit late for the Gear Abstinence Thread 2021 😅

Welcome aboard! Build diaries are awesome!

The purr-fect QC Checks at 3:20 and 13:08 made me laugh.

An important bass-ic difference.

Not "cool". But poignant and kick-*ss at the same time. Play loud.

Those ukes look great👍

Welcome aboard! Apart from SBL I've given up on any other bass forum. Why go elsewhere when high quality, socially distanced, well informed, highly useful and occasionally incoherent, ramblings are all here?

Welcome back onboard! I finally got to visit NI this summer when travel was briefly possible, and spent a week up near Ballycastle and along the north coast. Lovely part of the world and I'm looking forward to going back and exploring the whole of NI sometime soon.

Welcome aboard! Though one doesn't normally say that to fish.. Cheap gear and good playing is better than the other way round. Which is what I have.

Hey, if it does then it's a damn' fine one 😁 Look forward to meeting you in other bits of the forum.

Or just use the low B as a thumb rest and play it like a 4 anyway. Not that anyone on here would ever do that.

I don't know if this bass will have a name, but one look at that and I thought "Thor's Hammer!" So I suggest Mjölnir

The award could be named "The Berlin Airport Award". https://m.dw.com/en/berlins-new-airport-finally-opens-a-story-of-failure-and-embarrassment/a-55446329

I think the thread should remain Owen's, but the awards should be selected on an annual (or perhaps bi-annual) basis. There needs to be a proper award for the slowest build, as actually measured from start to completion, and interim awards for lack of progress. If no progress at all is made in three years, then the project may be considered "abandoned", and only reappear as a contender when something is done. I propose a suitability uncommitted committee to begin thinking about consulting on draft rules.

They exist.

🤞🤞🤞 Not that you need luck.

The first one of those describes itself as having " A leg locking mechanism that will leave your jaw on the floor". That's going to result in a trip to A&E. And now, back to the thread..

I want to try one as well. But also I don't because they are quite pricey, I might really like it and I have taken up a new job near Abingdon which is getting a bit close to @FinnDave. Fortunately Boris has just saved the day and I won't be going anywhere for the next three months. #bloodythinsilverlining

Welcome aboard!
