  1. I love real Record Vices (pre-Irwin 🙂 ) I have a No. 3 and was delighted to spot a Record No. 1 in Dad's... living room. Hopefully the huge 4" QR vice I used as a teenager is somewhere in Dad's workshop.
  2. I'd make the rebate deeper and face it with solid wood but grain vertical. But I'm a metal basher so don't trust my wood vice advice...
  3. Just an observation, but any bass balanced on a knee (unless suspended by a strap) is in unstable equilibrium. Plus, balancing a bass on your knee is very uncomfortable and not conducive to good playing, consider balancing it on your thigh instead. Note, any bass balanced on a thigh (unless suspended by a strap) is in unstable equilibrium.
  4. It's the British habit to mock such people freely; it's not meant as any disrespect to others.
  5. Early Tudor. It's made out of a door and something's chewed it.
  6. I think the word 'affectation' may be appropriate, without meaning to be rude?
  7. The word you are looking for is 'harps'...
  8. Even Slade were recording slap in 1970, it was old hat by 78.

  10. It's not unusual behaviour for some people- they start a topic with a good idea of how they will respond to some predictable replies.
  11. Here & Now / Gong / Planet Gong Parliament / Funkadelic Hawkwind / Hawklords Black Sabbath (Dio version) / Heaven & Hell
  12. You could add a diode in series with your dropper resistor. I suspect your partial 'cure' is stopping the preamp output dropping rapidly to zero before the power amp has shut down.
  13. This ^^ Unlike most YT bass-cover channels she interprets basslines rather than aping them, so the answer to: Is apparently yes.
  14. Hooray for JuliaPlaysGroove - her playing speaks for itself!
  15. I thought Little Mix were Irish persons of reduced stature...
  16. I shall send you all my sparezzez for your next brirthday 🙂
  17. I had prepared a longer answer but decided it was teaching granny to suck eggs. In it I proposed a unity follower to give a nice hi-Z input stage, then a conventional volume control, followed by inverting amp with a gain of about 10 or so all fed by linear regulated supply derived from eth main one 🙂
  18. Tell me more of this mythical 'audience' of which you speak? Is it truly some strange gathering from the maskless days?:
  19. Long ago I shared a flat with (among others) a chap who worked in a computer shop. He told the story of the BBC computer that came in for a service full of dog ends. The owner thought the cartridge slot was an ashtray.
  20. I like the little box on the back to hide unwanted plectrums in.
