Did they charge you? I thought they stung people £20 for this service.

As it was immediately relisted, I'd go with fake bids. Given his description as a "liar and a crackhead", adding in scammer to this seems quite easy. I think you dodged a bullet here TBH.

The chords are dead simple and its entirely possible I am overthinking it. Its 'just' E, A and D. The damping is pretty key to it but I'm just struggling to get it right. To me it's about less rather than more, but it doesn't sound right yet. I'll probably get it and I'll go "Ah!" thats what I'm doing wrong. Got 45 mins on a massive Teams call with 400+ people so might just practise quietly in the background (Mic is off). Thanks Rob Rob

Black Velvet - Alannah Myles Turn the Page - Bob Segar Hollywood Nights - Bob Segar - Bass and rhythm guitar. The rhythm looks dead simple and (to me) is really subtle and complex. Spend a few hours and still can't get it right.

Been there and done that

I like the patchwork one, I'm sure thats not the right name for it, but I'd love a guitar like that. Mind you the top one isn't too shabby either. Rob

I'm sure its not that at all (No I'm not)

I wonder why I struggled to understand what I was listening to Now I have a recommendation, I'll try that one. Perhaps we need a dedicated ToneX thread for stuff like this? Thanks Rob

Was this the "welcome to the mids" you alluded to earlier?

Nothing helpful by the looks of it....

I hadn't clicked on the second link before. I just did and actually took my glasses off to check I was seeing thing OK and I hadn't inhaled something I shouldn't have. I thought the body shape seemed to move in front of me. I will check my medication as well. After saying that, that is a lovely piece of wood for the body. I would probably have flipped the back and front so the darker seam is in line with the neck as opposed to be being at around 20 degrees which does rather stand out. It's not a bad looking bass, using pencil eraser ends for the volume and tone knobs is a brave and unusual design decision. The head end of the neck looks very thin compared to the bridge end and the strings seem to fan out more than I would expect, but it could be very playable. I've made worse myself However not dropping 1600 Euros to find out, but would love the wood on any guitar of mine. Rob

A single grainy picture taken with a phone camera circa 2002, doesn't even show the head and some -ve feedback reviews that probably should warn anybody and everybody to keep as far away as possible...

Agreed, I thought about it but don't think I have the skills or nous to do the job and would much rather learn from somebody else Also I hadn't had any Kronenbergs.... Rob
