    "You've put on weight, Virgil." "F.L.A.B. Scott."

    How can you play Allright Now or Bad Case of Loving You without a g-string?
  4. Stub Mandrel
    Ok I can see a case for a tracksuit if competing at an athletics event, but tan leather loafers?
  5. Stub Mandrel
    But... non matching leatherette!

    Had my cumuppance. After declaring ordinary skeleton jacks are fine that on my Flea Jazz (2018 or thereabouts) started cracking loudly. Turned out the (apparently) silver plate had tarnished badly around the contact area. Contact cleaner and a polish with a rough cloth restored function. I'm assuming silver plate as the tarnish was black.

    Exactly... many are cosmetic- TZ's routing only claim doesn't stack up. Egen if you don't like them they aren't all there to cover routing.

    Dremel (or even a file or an angle grinder) and a cheap 2' rule. Mark fret positions and grind notches.

    Why the ironing board?

    One rehearsal studio I go to puts disposable (what look like) little raffia bags over the mics.

    That's what I decided...

    "Sold as seen" Was tempted to offer £6.95...

    No they're not. Acoustic instruments have them, and many semi-acoustics and some others (e.g. many Gibsons) have decorative ones and have rear-routed control cavities.

    You need a flame torch or TIG for proper silver solder.

    Yep not even tannin stains. Originally three of the mugs featured glorified images of Trump, Musk and Tate. They disappeared, presumably upset someone who didn't realise it was satire...

    It has to be done.

    Not sure of the road, but there are responsible youngsters who do driver training with their clubs and do just that.

    I doubt they are continuously rolling off the line like Ford Fiestas in 1995... They probably run a batches in different sizes as required to maintain stock and meet orders.

    I would have made my displeasure clear.

    I added a fake one to my Flea jazz using a bit of copper tape 😈

    I play a lot of arpeggios and walking lines so not using all four strings would make life pretty difficult . Made a few changes to my amp settings of late, just thickening up the middle which adds a bit of girth to the g-string.

    I've asked the seller a question: "Are the bits broken off the headstock included in the sale?"
  23. Stub Mandrel
    Barefaced cheek? I'll get my coat...

    I brought it along as my Brother spotted it earlier and I ended up noodling on it and it was great fun. Found a new song we are knocking into shape it really suits - think something in the same ballpark as Hey Hey My My (Into the Black). It's so dŵty, but really good to play and sounds huge. I paid about 50 times as much for the other bass I was using...

    Tonight's rehearsal stufio had a special Kay holder.
