🤯 I love this solution. Mark

This isn't really Apple's fault though. Yes, it's a pain that you had to run the update, but this clearly fixed the boot issue you had, it's the App developers that no longer updated their apps to support the newer version of the OS that are at fault here, IMO. Mark

If you have the time and materials and the power tools, why not? Some of us only have a workbench and an idea to carry us through. hahaha Mark

Aye, following. 👍🏼 Mark

You might wanna ask your question in the dedicated Sandberg thread we have going here … Mark

My last set of Rotosound I needed to trim the silk back a bit because I had the same issue this dude did on the first bass where the silk stopped the string going through the bridge hole. In my case it was a 130 B string that caused the issue. Mark

Poor chap. 😅 Mark

So the one I linked to above sold for £370. I got mine at the beginning of Dec., 2021 for £141, and mine's better looking. Just an indication of how prices are going up across the board. @tom1946 did you get anywhere with your search yet? Mark

What a wonderful turn of phrase. 😂 Mark

Came here to say this hahaha. Mark

A 3d printed piano might be pushing things I suspect. Mark

I've found through experience (very early in my life) that it's good to be wary of electricity, for exactly the reason you state. Good luck with the build. Mark

There's a Washburn AB-35 going on eBay at the moment. I have one of these (I have no affiliation to this seller) and I love it. If my house was on fire and I could only save one of my basses, this would be the one. It doesn't appear to have met reserve yet, so I've no idea if it'll fall within whatever budget you may have, but it's absolutely worth a punt I'd say. These don't come up that often, and AFAIC, there's good reason for this. Mark

I did not know this was on Netflix, so thanks for that, added to my list now. Mark

You don't need code, just the image URL, that'll automatically embed the image in your post. Mark

I'm really liking this new tune from Bruce Dickinson … Rain on the Graves. It's interesting I like this because for the most part I'm not an Iron Maiden fan, but I do like the Tattooed Millionaire album (excluding that All the Young Dudes cover, which I thought was awful) that Bruce did in the '90s. Mark

Burgundy, really? Mark

Came here to say this. Recently bought some custom humbuckers for a self-build from Gemini and Mike was an absolute star in his information and general customer service and support. Absolute top service and I'll be using again. Mark

A Status T-Bass 5-string. Preferably wood neck, but the graphite would do. I don't need or want another jazz bass, but if one of these came up for sale tomorrow in the right price bracket, well I have the money in my account for one so it'd be a very quick deal. Mark

iTunes for Windows can do random Shuffle > Album. I've never used it, I've never used iTunes on Windows for playback at all, but the option is there. You add the artwork to the files/album in iTunes, so I'm not sure that fits with your folder naming - again, I don't use iTunes on Windows aside from backing up various family devices, so YMMV, it certainly plays all the file options you mention, and does playlists. Mark

Dude, make the bass your own. If it's aesthetically pleasing to you, that's all that matters. Given your brief and the available necks, I'd personally do a Thunderbird-style shape body (this may mess with your wanting to have bottom part of the bass be even) and the left-hand neck, that way it'll be reverse headstock. But this is not my build, it's yours. Mark

I think that golden yellow scratchplate looks amazing. Mark

My wife does a lot of work with clay, she's got proper potters wheels and a kiln and everything, so this is a possibility.* The Hosco nut files are a little outside my financial means at the moment, so I got a brass bar and I'll see what I can do with the files I have available - or buy a cheap set to see how I get on with them. Mark *not really
