  1. No "Gimme Some Lovin" 😁 I've seen audiences react as soon as the intro starts just bass and drums.
  2. They are a standard diy item for wall painting.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Could you use a textured paint then prime and give it a top coat in a durable red?
  6. A lot longer than 10. Maybe 25 or 30?
  7. I'll bring something. Fancy bringing stuff people will think is shite but sounds killer.
  8. 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.
  9. Root beer, if MusicMan. Rickenbacker probably call it turdglo.
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. That's achieving new levels of illegibility!
  13. 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!
  14. It's a colour that looks good on Stilton. Perhaps they should add blue-green veins?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.

  19. Actually a 5" is slightly less cone area than a quarter of a 10", because the frame and surround are included in the diameter and as their widths are similar (to allow similar rigidity and excursion) the functional area of the cone is a smaller proportion of the overall area.
  20. I usually go for 1 ½. Have never had an E-string slip.
  21. I'm firmly anti-gua. I assume the name is wordplay on 'gua-no'
  22. Played a (PJ) Fender Mustang at a jam last Saturday (strictly the early hours of Sunday...) Flats, lots of foam at the bridge, but it played fine. The strap was very short so I felt like Mark King...
  23. Thanks for reminding me... those holes add important mojo. Even better if the cover marks the body around the bridge.
