I wouldn't chance it - those may turn out to be the actual colours.

another candidate for a terrible genre name - "shoegaze" my bloody valentine – only shallow Ride - Leave Them All Behind Slowdive - When the Sun Hits

I think I can see a couple of 31-stringed things in the picture

only if you were tooting with the horn.

where else are dentists going to buy their wall ornaments?

we didn't start the fire ...

he was clearly keen to leave! I live just up the road & I don't blame him.

did the tech think you'd asked him to "relic" the bass? some people pay more for that sort of thing you know.

I always just think about how much sideways force there must be on that tiny, unsupported sliver of nut. 😟

"country" over here probably means your Gran liking John Denver.

yes, Billy Joel. "Hired Gun" was the documentary.

if you really have to do this, then don't straighten them out when you take them off the bass - ie leave them in the coiled/bent shape the came off in. they won't stand up to being taken off & put on again indefinitely, but you should get a few more cycles out of them. but think of all the money you'd save on strings by getting another bass. 😁

it's called bass chat - seems like the right plaice.

as is grammar pedantry. where are those apostrophe rozzers when you need them?

if I ever get better at playing than my Squiers are at being basses then I might consider something more expensive. 😁

thanks all. I will try to find some tape with conductive adhesive. hopefully it will also keep slugs out of the electrics. 🤣

the princess & the P-bass?

can I hijack the thread slightly & ask what copper tape people would recommend & where to buy it? many thanks 🙂

definitely 32"

I have half an eye out for a Squier VM Jag V:

they were on the "Unread Content" page - I didn't have to look too hard 😉

I'm seeing some new (since the upgrade) posts saying: "Oops!
