Always wanted to use this emoji

Just been looking at some tension tables. Taking a normal BEADG set and retuning to AEAEE adds up to a only slight reduction in tension. On the two strings tuned to E2, one is pushed up a whole tone, one is dropped down a minor third. I wonder if played together in unison they would sound interesting and complex .... or just 💩 ?? [/DAYDREAM]

Idly imagining a five string without the G string, but just an additional D string in the same octave the two D strings could be played in unison. Edit: ooh, they could be slightly different gauges as well, so that the overtones mush up nicely

I'm very glad to hear that the estimable Mr Beato is leaving 80s Grunge Bands well alone

Can't believe they didn't go for a SB-55

Curtain which are beige high up and blue low down, suddenly become red when seen between two guitar necks. The body of the Precision is similar rendered red because of the 4 bolts joining the neck etc etc

That's not how you spell, thanks that, Merry Christmas!

The blue is the lume – in light it looks white. The lume can also by green. And the domes can be black or nickel etc. And the numbers can be -5 to 5 instead of 0 to 10. Shoppylinky

Peace Sells

Yes.

If I had money to burn, I would seek out old vintage instruments that are genuinely good but stranded in investment hell, destroy their value by refinishing the body, resoldering the pots, replacing the frets etc and then sell them at a horrific loss to people who would actually play them.

Lots of frogs kissed .... did you find your prince?

Oh, yeah, this, obviously!

Standard thread on topics like this: I see no reason why my ignorance and inexperience should stop me from expressing the following strong opinion in ill-tempered terms ×100 You would have thought bassists of all people could appreciate that things are rarely as easy as they appear.

How do the BB1100 and your BB414 compare physically, from your point of view? I know (or at least I think I know) that the 1100 has a 43mm neck and the 414 a 40mm neck, but I don't recall you ever making much mention of preferring one kind of neck over another, about any of your basses. Is there a slight difference in the shape of the body, too? Is the 1100 physically more similar to the 300 you had when you were a kid?

Striking colour plus maple = pearloid

Ah.....I thought you would be keeping it for evermore.....

So, sell the Fender and spend the money on having the BB stripped and painted LPB, yuss?

Just some unadulterated hatred for natural finishes going on here

Much as I love my BB, gotta say, I like the fact that they finished making that Aerodyne *runs*

I've always been proud of my puerile sense of humour, so I'm very disappointed in myself not to be able to find the problem with Gloxy Anyway, back to tittering at the name Jazzmaster

Not according to the SBMM website they're not: 43mm vs 45mm.

• Added a 10-yr-old BB424 • Paid for, never received, and was refunded for a G&L SB-1 • Added a 10-yr-old Squier Matt Freeman P and a Dimarzio Model P for it • Sold a TRBX604 • Added a Yamaha HS5 studio monitor • Added, got frustrated with, and discarded a Line6 Bass POD xt Live • Added a Hotone Ampero (amp-sim / cab-sim / fx unit) • Discarded an old Peavey practice amp So I replaced a bass that didn't suit me with two that do, and my amp with a pair of boxes they sound great through. A very happy, successful year, despite the bumps.
