Count Bassy

Seen on you tube Singer "Any requests?" Audience Member "Yes, can I have my money back?"

I can see nothing wrong with Moondance. Nice little tune, although I've never played it out anywhere. Whether it counts as Jazz or not? Who cares? I don't recall VM ever claiming it to be Jazz. Do people really hear a song and decide if they like it or not based on what genre they think it is. IMHO a good tune is a good tune wherever it comes from. As to people taking against it (particulary here it seems), it's a victim of it's own success and popularity, as per Mustang Sally, Johnny B Goode, etc etc.

I apart from saying "I wish they wouldn't' rather than "I can't stand" on point no 2 I actually agree on your two points, but I still love the music. Bix Beiderbecke Jelly Roll Morton etc. Good job we're n ot all the same. Vive la difference eh?

Old style jazz , Dixy Land Jazz etc YES. 'Modern Jazz' No.

Yes, earlier this week I was trying to enter a 'c' followed by a colon, as in a list, but it kept getting converted ie: A: B: 😄 😧 E:

Just clarify for me, which is the spoof ?

Fair point.

As a dignostic you could tempoaraily raise the action on that string and see if it goes away.

Thankfully you can still bu traditional Lead/Tin solder, and for occassional /manual/home soldering this is definitely the way to go - just don't eat it !! (and try to avoid breathing the fumes).

Re "only shipping when paid". Is it not a bit odd that we say we will only ship when paid to avoid scams/rip offs, yet we expect the buyer to part with his money with no guarantee that we will post him anything? Cash on collection is the only way o go with this, but of course you severely limit your market (unless you live in London or somewhere big).

The one who used to sing with Robin Trower. I believe he died.

Bollocks more like. Actually the dielectric might affect the capacitance, and a low capicitance will let more treble through. Possibly their cpacitance is high, cutting the treble and thus making you think you've got a stronger bass signal. Don't even think about skin effect as it is negligable at signal level audio frequncies.

I think he's probably playing the way he wants to.......

Other decent makes of pot are available.

Well said. I was about to add that the OP asked for so specific hardware recommendations, Not a critique of his style, which I presume does what he want's it to.

Obviously didn'tbhurt that much if your first thought was to photograph it rather than bandage it up! - Sign of the times I guess.Sign of the times

My first was a home built 1974 vintage, 31.5" scale vaguely P Bass shaped (I'd never held one at the time). Sapele neck and Utile body, home built active tone controls, and some second hand pickups (one cost me £2, and the other was £1.50 as it had a dent in it). - It's still in my dining room mostly gathering dust.

Make it a lined fretless with ivory fret markers. They probably won't even notice the wood!!🙂

I like the sound (as in description) of the Marcus Miller (never actually heard one), but I'd have to do something about the Facia plate with his picture on it (Nothing against him at all, just pictures on amps).

Warwick ones seem to be closely related to the Dunlop ones (Completely compatible), who also make the flush fit version. I love the idea of the Flush fit version, but it does mean that, in a fix. you can't use any old strap.

Personally I'd go for a metal grill every time. "Vive la difference" eh.

I image that the basic length of the pipes would follow the same sort of pattern as fret spacing, though as there isn't a 'hard' end these may need adjusting for end effects.

Absolutely right - finger or brain trouble I fear!

As a one time folk musician (amateur) I got to play some really old tunes. One was written 1615 - but we played it in 4/4 anyway !!! Boom Boom. 🤑🤗🤣
