tauzero Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Just now, AndyTravis said: America Online? Yes. Many many years ago, AOLers posting in newsgroups would quote the entirety of a post in order to add "Me 2". So This then got spoofed by non-AOLers who wanted to say "Me 2" saying "AOL" instead (and keeping the quoting down). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 (edited) Ah - ballsed up: The “hilarious” Flamenco plates arrived - and instead of the manky, trashy white/cream plastic I wanted - they’re clear. Far too understated. Luckily, I’ve returned them to swap… A postage mistake to the tune of a tenner - for a visual joke. Knobber. Also, now the bass is settling…I’ve realised - in my hasty sanding, I’ve flattened off a spot I didn’t want to in the fretboard…🙄 so unless I want a ridiculously high action - I need to get a 9.5” radius block (based on a fender jazz fretless radius). The last time I did this it was a brand new 5 string with a very flat fingerboard - not sure I’ve worked enough of the 40/45 years play wear on this one yet. So, before recording - more work to do… Wish @Andyjr1515lived around the corner. I’ve still not braved the nut yet.
