What are you listening to right now?

Fun to play along with as well: -
But if you delete @Teebs thousands of innocent emoticons will be rendered homeless!

Some people are very thick. Thick enough to steal and then 'find' the stuff. I once lived in a shared house, one of the guys had his car hit by someone who than ran off. I was outside a bit later and a dodgy young man came up and asked me all sorts of odd questions about what happened. I went back inside and suggested the plod who were talking to my mate nipped out and had a chat with this chap. Took about two minutes of questions from el plod to discover that the young couple who had reported the car as stolen after they crashed it had asked him to pop over to see what was happening - and were hiding in a pub not very far away. I don't think any of them were very bright...

One person's worn out is another's worn in. -
You can keep them damp so they go rusty and non-magnetic 🙂

Always worth popping your head in to see what's there.

Owners of older Fender basses might be interested in this page: https://support.fender.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005938763-Fender-Bass-Guitar-Owner-s-Manuals It has a good selection of old manuals - I even found the manual for my Fender Performer!

I used to do that. Worrying when you see the scum on top of the water... -

Is that code??? Intermediate Band Thermo-Radiative Cells. Kill strings stone dead in seconds. -
Why not get a rhythm guitarist and an octave divider pedal? That way you can stay at home and avoid interacting with guitar types completely 🤣

I like some of their songs, but I can't understand the popularity of sex on fire, unless it's just the 'provocative' title...

I was taking a pop at the KOL not you 🙂

Looked this up today - I'm not an expert on the so-called 'popular music'. I can't believe such an insipid song is so in demand! You must have been burning the midinight oil honing your chops to learn that one 🙂 They call it a Dyson. It sucks and it's expensive, but it still feels cheap...

That's your problem: It's not just GLOSS, it's special STICKY GLOSS! But seriously... the finish is obviously prone to this and it's not just you, so I wouldn't lose sleep about matting it down with a fine abrasive - then get on with enjoying it.

I tried out a bass the other day, It was almost unplayable. The action was so high I thought the bridge needed dropping (one piece acoustic), the shop assistant spent five minutes on the truss rod and gave it back to me a transformed instrument.

Semi Hollow Bass (and another two...)
Stub Mandrel replied to Jabba_the_gut's topic in Build Diaries
You don’t have to apologise for anything, the non-bass related things are your life! Don’t build a bloody five string version of this, I’ll have to buy that too... 👍 You need to go into bass building full time. Frank will get a second job and remortgage his home to buy your entire output and keep you in a life of luxury... -
Do you have a tea chest bass in your collection? 😱
-
Because £500 is a bit steep for most beginners? Squiers you need to pick teh right one., The VMs appear to be better than the Affinities (as beginner choices).

Whooo! I knew about Tele ones but that Strat one is lovely! -
