    The spec says "Bolt-on neck: caramelised Canadian hard rock maple with Roseacer skunk stripe". Are they lying?

    This.

    Colur me unconvinced...

    Poster designing again. This is a classic! MS Designer.

    Nice reminder of why it's good to sound check tonight. Started playing Uprising, lead came in and it just sounded off and I had to pull the plug. Let's try Crossroads instead. I'm convinced I'm out of key. Stumbles to a halt, I say to guitarist "I was sure we play that in A". "Oh shït" he replies "I'm still tuned down to D from last night". Pub gig, not crowded. We played a bit quieter than usual, they loved it, especially the landlord. Our recent rehearsal meant few mistakes and better discipline all round. A good night.

    Lights look very professional.

    Literally, by the sound of it...

    Ouch!

    No "Gimme Some Lovin" 😁 I've seen audiences react as soon as the intro starts just bass and drums.

    They are a standard diy item for wall painting.

    Just thought of a few more songs defined by their basslines: My Sharona Let's Dance Gimme Some Loving We Gotta Get Out Of This Place I think most ordinary folk who know those songs would recognise them from the bass alone.

    Still banging my head against teen town. It's getting faster but my playing lacks Jaco's musicality. Also got a bunch of mostly simple songs to learn ... as usual one simple song turns out to have hidden complexity. In this case Love Shack. A truckload of variations, appearing random but with some consistencies.

    Could you use a textured paint then prime and give it a top coat in a durable red?

    A lot longer than 10. Maybe 25 or 30?

    I'll bring something. Fancy bringing stuff people will think is shite but sounds killer.

    I know. But the effective cone diameter of a speaker is roughly 1 ½" to 2" less than the overall diameter - measure diameter across the midline of the suspension roll. 1 ½" off four 5" speakers is a lot more, proportionally than 2" off a 10" speaker. You'd need more than five such smaller speakers to equal the larger one.

    Root beer, if MusicMan. Rickenbacker probably call it turdglo.

    Absurd! It's now reduced to £40, I've had to order another one to replace the boring spotlight! https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=603634750295096&sku_id=61042222696856&_x_sessn_id=uws6uq4cnj&refer_page_name=bgt_order_detail&refer_page_id=10045_1763745067885_qjhig5v54u&refer_page_sn=10045&is_back=1&no_cache_id=5u5we

    One that was at a ridiculously cheap price on TEMU (£44!) all the others were significantly more, but it works perfectly and is reasonably bright. Fan cooled. Quiet and a metal case.

    That's achieving new levels of illegibility!

    I've invested a small (tiny) fortune in six cheap dmx PAR lights (excellent) a DMX spot (OK but really too tight for a static lamp) and a tilt/pan spot (the dogs). The £19 controller is effective but programming needs the manual to hand!

    It's a colour that looks good on Stilton. Perhaps they should add blue-green veins?

    Took my Thunder 1 to a jam this week and it turned heads with the sound. I described it as 'more like a precision than a precision'. Roto 66s past the 'out of the packet' stage but sounding great.

    A while ago I splashed out on a cheap Kay Gremlin. The nachine heads responded to a drop of oil and I decided the pickup was ok. The slightly worn finish I tarted up with ratty mustang stripes and added a tiny amount of extra wear on the upper bout. Needed a shim to let me drop the bridge. Took me a couple of sessions to sort the frets... I suspect a few might lift again. I only resorted to superglue on one. Lots of filing, scraping and stoning. Action isn't super low but is much better. Quite a fun wee thing now.
