Whoops... the video. 20260115_124629.mp4

3D printed Standard Beaverette mk3 all my design except some parts of the differential. All PLA except TPU driving wheels. Only non 3D printed parts RC gear, screws, ball races, motor and pinion and a few bits of cable.

Bloody good gig at the Exchange tonight. Left us all buzzing. It was short notice so unrehearsed for ages. We have a big gig at the Earl Haig in February and two rehearsals to sort new material. After tonight happy we don't have to focus on the existing set.

No point. @neepheid will buy them all first.

Yellow reflective tape on mine but it isn't very robust.

Do the speaker stands actually light up? Or is it an illusion?

I hope not.

£100 tip jar is exceptional here, but the uk is reticent about tipping.

Same here... I went for the 1960 AVII.

Ah, but I have straplocks in my bits box. Not fussed on them, so will be genuine Basschat washers (also from stock).

It's a Kay. It will probably double the value.

Will replacing a missing strap button count as essential maintenance?

Sumnary: 1 - get better at double bass. 2 - see 1. 3 - see 2. 4 - ignore 1-3.

Coulx you pop round and finish my aquarium hood? When you've got a minute.

"You've put on weight, Virgil." "F.L.A.B. Scott."

How can you play Allright Now or Bad Case of Loving You without a g-string?

Ok I can see a case for a tracksuit if competing at an athletics event, but tan leather loafers?

But... non matching leatherette!

Had my cumuppance. After declaring ordinary skeleton jacks are fine that on my Flea Jazz (2018 or thereabouts) started cracking loudly. Turned out the (apparently) silver plate had tarnished badly around the contact area. Contact cleaner and a polish with a rough cloth restored function. I'm assuming silver plate as the tarnish was black.

Exactly... many are cosmetic- TZ's routing only claim doesn't stack up. Egen if you don't like them they aren't all there to cover routing.

Dremel (or even a file or an angle grinder) and a cheap 2' rule. Mark fret positions and grind notches.

Why the ironing board?

One rehearsal studio I go to puts disposable (what look like) little raffia bags over the mics.

That's what I decided...

"Sold as seen" Was tempted to offer £6.95...
