    Prevert!

    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...

    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.

    Looks Mustangy...

    That's excellent Rob... I've sent you a message.

    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.

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

    No, no, no! Coil over your hand putting a half twist into each loop so they are all completely limp. Thus is how I was taught to hank a rope. Minimises tangles, as used by seamen for generations. Then velcro, rather than securing with a loop round and through.

    We have a winner?

    Looks a pretty awesome rig.

    😁 not an exaggeration! They tend to stick after a few years of inaction ...

    Wild!

    I haven't played that HB, but I have an HB MB5 and an HB Marquess and they are both excellent.

    Sire P7

    Stub Mandrel replied to Davy's topic in Basses For Sale

    Don't know if it's relevant but my 1st gen P10 has a wooden cover.

    I wonder if they use cheap hardware? I had to trim 1mm off the end of the speaker jack socket on my Elf head as jacks wouldn't engage properly and vibrated out when I played it! They now 'click' in place.

    It sounds remarkably like my Westone Thunder 1 - which is a compliment, I always say it sounds more like a Precision than a Precision.
  25. Stub Mandrel
    I am surprised but the fact is I have to tune it evry couple of weeks instead of a few times a year! I think they are now vulnerable to being knocked, or to temperature cycling. This is mainly the B2 I keep at my partner's home.
