  1. I've made up my mind! DECISION BASS.
  2. I feel faintly queasy...
  3. Looked it up on Ultimate guitar. How does someone get 32 votes and 4.5 star average with: "Originally tab of this song is too hard to be tabbed so I made a easy version "
  4. I can't see my own bloomin' link!
  5. My brother's band have recorded a lockdown song - using iPhones and Bandcamp. Not sure if this will work:
  6. I think its £88 now, I guess demand has gone up!
  7. Curiously that's exactly what the instructions tell you to do, but I think its a translation error...
  8. No I want a standard body shape, I'll use the supplied hardware and only upgrade if I need to - rumour is its pretty decent stuff considering the silly price... £77 - I couldn't even buy neck, fingerboard and body timber for that.
  9. Excellent, thank you. I've run out of TLRTs so have a smiley :-)
  10. Ah.. farcebook link? Invisible I'm afraid...
  11. It started with one comment, but they just kept doubling.
  12. So rather than a Hardly Bent-One, you prefer a NoBend?
  13. Just demonstrates how the knob on the end is to stop it slipping out of your grasp at a critical moment.
  14. I could play a straight bat assuming it doesn't have any kinks in it I could go with: "Hardly Bent-One"
  15. Oh that's been done.... I blame the minions...
  16. Seeing as how I've cut the very end off it... CIRCUMCISION BASS
  17. That's a U-Bass...
  18. Excellent, good job Si. Nothing like using self-made tools to give you a grin 🙂
  19. But... but.. that's straight from the horse's mouth! It's Dio's own explanation, it MUST make sense...
  20. Do you do any Cactus covers? 🙂
  21. I did think of 'Imprecision Bass' but technically I'd argue a 'Precision Bass' as any one with frets... 🙂 Trouble is that's very rude in Welsh... I feel a bit guilty about 'made by me' as aside from shaping the headtock it's just painting and screwing the bits together...
  22. Ammon Duul II are a band I have been meaning to follow up since the 80s....
  23. More logo thoughts (all my other builds/butcheries have been 'Deathburgers').
  24. I'm more worried about blending the headstock into the neck which is pre-coated in a matt finish and doesn't require further treatment. The instructions say "Remove the neck and all the frets cleanly before you start painting". I suspect they mean 'mask off'... I may try and spray just the headstock and 'feather in' as I like a satin neck finish. Sprays from Northwest guitars due to arrive tomorrow. I've bought a sheet to make a 'spray booth' but I have to use it as a photography backdrop for a few things this week first!
  25. I just found this. Two pensioners making random silly noises for a quarter of an hour. It's mind-blowingly brilliant.
