  1. 🤘 Nice one.
  2. Probably the opposite. Sympathetic vibration of the timber is going to sap energy and reduce sustain. Imagine a string fitted to a rigid iron frame (piano) or a wooden fame (harp). Which one has long sustain and which one has a plinky plonky sound?
  3. Hmmm. Got my HB kit-built bass here. Through a practice amp at pretty low volume. After 20 seconds I could still just hear bottom E and got bored. My Flea Jazz get as about 12 seconds. So I'm not convinced that it's directly related to either quality or even 'heft'...
  4. Nice and solid or what? 🙂 But... Sweet Jehosephat. For the last year I have been coping with the cognitive dissonance between you not having a beard and your avatar, and now I have to reset all over again!
  5. Protective film still on the pickguard. Clear proof the instrument isn't worth playing...
  6. Courtesy of my namesake...
  7. And you either need to count to big numbers or memorise the guitar solos!
  8. Only a feathery one:
  9. What about making a pickguard from a carpet tile, for extreme comfort on cold winter evenings 🙂
  10. If you can find a clear, thick glue, a bead run around (and into) the edges might do the job.
  11. Given the likely provenance, did you check it for bugs?
  12. Listened to a snatch and the song ended with a familiar descending 'bor-or-ris-the-spider-dum' 🙂
  13. Humph. Puny. >sulks<
  14. Clearly a band who would have been more successful if they could have afforded Roger Dean instead of Tony Hart...
  15. Basses with a top horn shaped like a sex toy. Warwick Thumb I'm looking at you...
  16. I misread that as PMQs.
  17. Two linkzzez. If you go up this thread it was clear that some signatures were getting beyond silly - literally into several screens of autobiography. Basically people putting their profiles in their signature... As with all such rules to curtail excess there has been some collateral damage...
  18. More like this? Wait and see if you get any more suggestions'; I won't be offended by any pointless suggested changes, ridiculous ideas for 'improving' it or a cruel heartless rejection in favour of someone else's crappy attempt.
  19. If you want to suggest any changes to that logo or come up with another, I can print you a decal.
  20. First try...
  21. I doubt even Jaco could sound simultaneous harmonics on three strings using a double bass...
  22. Only just seen this, you're having a lot of fun. That must come along to a Bass Bash eventually!
