Hello and welcome. Mark

Perfumed ponce. 😂 Mark

When there's nobody older than you doing it or has done it? Besides, it's not about age, it's about ability, no? Mark

When I first started playing bass I had one of these, then the bit that goes over the top of the thumb snapped off, leaving me with the long flat bit from the bottom. I still have it and still use it on roundwound strings. On my basses that have flatwound string, I use the Wedgie rubber 5mm plectrums. These shed like nobody's business on round wound strings, which is why I only use them on flats. Mark

"-Def Leppard rare Photograph fold open single sleeve. (no record)." Pfffttt, not worth it then. 😂 (my added emphasis) Mark

I was deeply confused for a moment there. Mark

Hello and welcome. Mark

Hello and welcome (back?). Mark

I saw this on Fb a day or two ago, and I'm going to echo one of the posts I saw in response to it … what is that black plate behind the bridge? Anyone any ideas? Mark

Funny that this thread should pop up as I've been having this internal discussion this last week about Biffy Clyro. I'd hardly say I love the band, but there's a lot of their stuff I do like, but equally as much that I don't. I don't think I have a band in my music collection quite as polarising of my opinion as this one. Mark

As someone who used to be an avid rock climber, this particular comment tickled my sick sense of humour in this instance. Sorry if this was 'too soon', Jack. Mark

Dude. 😲 Wishing you a speedy - and full - recovery. Mark

The album is available on Bandcamp if you wanna have a listen. Mark

One of the very first pieces of music I learned on bass was the theme to Mission Impossible. I always keep trying the tune to Doctor Who but never quite manage to finish it. I'm slowly working my way through the theme to The Mandalorian at present. I've always wanted to start on getting the theme to Blake's 7 figured out, but as yet I just haven't started that one. Mark

Hello and welcome. Mark

I have a Tanglewood Les Paul copy, but I would dearly love a Firebird guitar. Mark

For the people boycotting Amazon for purchases, I understand your stance, but it doesn't really matter where you direct your online business to, because Amazon Web Services (AWS) makes up so much of the internet backbone these days, that no matter where you make your online purchases, you are still very likely to be using Amazon via AWS to do so. And not just purchases either, pretty much any website you use will likely have AWS at some point between you and the service you want to access online. If you truly want to boycott Amazon, you may as well just get off the Internet, as that's really the only way to avoid using Amazon these days. Mark

I really liked that, nice work there. The writeup under the video was a good read too. Also, 52 tracks! 😳 Mark

Hello and welcome. Mark

Hello and welcome. Mark

Wow. Look at the break angle on that B (or whatever tuning of the lowest) string! And does it really pass under all the other strings? Mark

I really like the look of that bridge. Nice work all round. Mark

But … but … NEW BASS! Mark

Even Flow by Pearl Jam … " … rests his head on a pillow made of concrete" Right, not Even Flow then. 😂 Mark

You really want to know the answer to that question, eh? Mark
