Wot No Lego Hair?

You're more than welcome to pop over and have a play squire.

Well, turns out these Musiclily knobs take a fair amount of shoving to get them to go on the solid shaft pots and grip really well with friction alone. So hopefully now it looks a little more like... itself.

Back to Wood... Wax, Tru-Oil or Danish Oil finish, and just the Bell Plate.

I always wished I didn't get a cinder red pulse 1 when they came out.

I guess whoever manufactures for Warwick, I don't know if that helps matters...

(The big brown truck is delayed until Monday, nothing to see here …)

Keep the foto flame ( if possible )and get it refinished/ lacquered by David Wilson. He sprayed my Atelier Z and it was superb.

After a few weekends off from the workshop we made some progress today! The fret board was machined with the channels for the fibre optic side dots in the underside of the board. The headstock face was then machined with the fretboard clamped in place to get the smooth transition 👌. Tomorrow we’ll add the side dots then run the fibre optics 🙌

Hi. Les Dawson knew how to play the funny wrong note and there are also some beautiful wrong notes. They're called add9, but they are often add2 but still called add9. add2 is much easier to understand. Start with C major C, E, G. Now count up the C major scale and stop at the 2nd note, so 1=C, 2=D stop. D. add the 2nd note in the C major scale to the C major chord and we have C, D, E, G. Inspiring and smoothy vibes. Where does the 9th come from. If you count up the C major scale to the next D, it's in 9th place. That's all I'm prepared to say about that. It's a friendly vibe in major, and beautiful in minor. Try this. It feels odd at first but you might grow to like it. Playing the bass and singing, swap between these two harmonies. Sing = D, Bass = C Sing = C, Bass = G♯ The first harmony could be major or minor. Using what we know from bass having the power to change chords, if we stack all the notes in, we can find the relative minor of the add9 by lowering the bass 3 semitones for major, or 4 for minor. Mind blowing, but beautiful. - find the relative minor of the add9, and know what you're talking about. Power to the bass player.

That ones all yours. Wrong colour for me

We spoke to Nicks sister today, Nick family are putting on a memorial concert in Peterborough on the 7th September and wants to draw the raffle then so I’d imagine we’ll start selling tickets 4-6 weeks before then

I used to enjoy doing that, but we lost our keyboard player so we had to drop it.

I'm looking to buy a great Jazz Bass because Im about to sell my house and be mortgage free . Yay.!!.. I was looking for any opinions on these two. Ive owned a 1996 MIJ non export 75 and it was fantastic so I dig that maple/maple jazz bass sound. But I've never played a Moon JJ4 so I'm curious as to 1. what are the necks like on a Moon,.,I prefer a shallow C shape. 2. does a Moon JJ4 sound like a 70s jazz bass. I'm aware Moon slanted the neck pickup to give a fuller sound on the E string and the early JJ4s have a bartolini pre amp and pickups.. Any experience and thoughts from someone who has owned both or just the Moon is much appreciated. I would be looking for a 90s JJ4.

Enjoyed that 👍
