Fear of eggy foot fungus? -
Some songs are inexplicable. I hate playing All Along the Watchtower (as I can't touch Hendrix's random bassline and I feel ours is just a pale imitation) and Simple Man (which repeats three chords forever) - but audiences love them both.

steady gigging across the covers and blues bands, including new venues and material. see the originals band do some decent support gigs and maybe a headline in a good local venue. see the originals band record an album. maybe a bit of depping to satisfy my urge to learn new stuff. try and do some songwriting and home recording (and strengthen my music theory). finally get Teen Town and a couple of other songs that I would like to be able to play properly to improve my 'chops'.

Fear of a White Egg. Great name for an album...

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Stub Mandrel replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
D'oh. First shortscale I ever played was a Musicmaster in a recording studio somewhere in mid-Wales where I had a bit of a jam some 40 years ago. For decades the name 'Musicaster' was in my head. I left my solid gold bodied Sekonda there that was my great-uncle's In 2018 I discovered my Squier Jaguar SS that brought back the memory of it. Would still fancy one, pretty sure it was off-white. -

Rechargeable batteries in active basses?
Stub Mandrel replied to kiat's topic in Repairs and Technical
I tried some in my Sire (as it uses two) but the high frequency noise from them was intolerable. -

Take a look at Tracey Tools. More woodworking focused. Proops, if still going, sometimes have good stuff. I think I got some Vallorbe files from them (the best )

Worst thing about nut work is the smell of bone dust... especially as a vegetarian!

Sunny Afternoon and Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting are both fun to play.

I have an enormous collection of files. I have diamond ordinary swiss files of various qualities. I always rough slots with a junior hacksaw. I then widen out with files. I finish to depth with a scalpel or other very sharp blade.

Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)

You can get VERY cheap digital oscilloscopes these days. Plenty good enough for detecting hum on power rails.
