    If I were going to do that, which I never would, I'd get a luthier (or at least a guitar tech) to preprepare a bass for easy smashing. Maybe even with a few hinges so it's not really broke but just unhinged and easily folds back together like a Transformer.

    That's all very well and good luck with it, but what about the tambourine?

    ... and golf.

    Judging by the trousers, he liked a round of golf in the afternoon.

    I'd say that the problem is not the tambourine. The problem is people have no idea how to play it, but think it must be easy, which it's not.

    They were wrong wrong wrong but still never more than half a tone away from a right note.

    Play the root notes with solid timing = get hired. Over playing = get fired.

    Trust me, I have tried but it really doesn't work.

    Very nice, although I can't say I like the pickguard.

    My 2008 Precision American Vintage Reissue had a V serial number. You need to see the neck heel for an actual date but it looks more 2000s and very little 'original 50s'.

    I had an antique ivory one when the first batch were released three or four years ago. No neck dive and it sounded huge with EB Cobalt flats.

    A punter once told me I was too short to play bass. So, if you are 5'9" (175cm) or under, sell your gear.

    To me that reads as ... 6-22 '58 Just as the other pic shown reads ... 8-5 '83

    For a band that were progressive even by the standard of other prog bands, Gentle Giant surprisingly managed to retain a certain funkiness from the early Shulman days as a soul band.

    Very bad idea.

    Yes, I'm not complainign about anyone. It's music; borrowing, copying, using creatively is normal and good. I'm all for it.

    Maybe adifferent thing but ... Muddy Waters knicked it, then the Small Faces knicked it from him to get it ready for Led Zepp ...

    Captain Beefheart's Magic Band had two bassists in the early 1970s: Rockette Morton (Mark Boston) and Orejón (Roy Estrada). Boston also played guitar. Estrada is in prison.
