I’ve seen some lovely Pau Ferro boards - like the one on the ACG build on the first page of the thread, on some of the MIM Fenders (among others) it can look & feel a bit dry, I got some of the Montypresso relic wax which darkens the wood as well as conditioning it and it came up lovely for me, if you don’t want to darken it then just get the normal one. As for how it plays, I thought it was a bit snappier than rosewood if pushed for a difference but nowhere near the difference between something like maple and rosewood (and even then the differences are overstated a bit IMHO)

When you put it like that, then that does put a different spin on it. I also have a fairly good body of work, I've written music that's been in adverts and used on TV programmes, my music was regularly played on the radio and I've done two John Peel sessions, Radio 1 roadshows and a Virgin session. I've had CD's, vinyl etc. for sale in shops like HMV and I've been on the front cover on a magazine, been in the music press, in books and even have a Wikipedia page. It's even been my full time job. I'm still a musician in my head though 😂

Perfumed ponce...

It was a Squirt.

They must've misspelt the name.

Aye, but I don't think anybody did.

As it should be.

Absolutely this!!

I had a custom Roscoe LG with a Pau Ferro board. I picked it over Rosewood as I thought the colour and subtle grain was gorgeous. Performance wise, I didn’t find much in it next to rosewood boards that I had on similar instruments, but personally, I found the colour of it more pleasing to look at.

Bought a Hercules stand from John. Really well packed and arrived faster than a fast thing. Great communication, top BC chap. Many thanks.

That’s what I’ve got on my Bravewood P - they are ok - the other one is a roundwound version of jazz flats apparently

Oh mate - I’m still playing, I’m just choosing what to play. The band in question have responded that I’m not actually allowed to quit…🫣

There's always time for other bands later on mate, you're going through some far more important stuff at the moment and you need to give yourself the space and capacity to deal with that stuff from a full hand so to speak. Playing bass should always reduce stress, not add to it. Band or no band, you will of course need to ensure there's a bass within your reach at all times however. Good luck mate 👍

Granted. I'm just saying it's not a major issue.

TI infeld rounds jr344 43-89. Not sure what the other one is.

“Gotten through”, or memorised? Different fingerings? Remember, at this stage Danny is assuming we use them over static harmony. But I’ll admit I’ve tried to use them in a song context as well.

I’ve just finally gotten through patterns 1 and 2 in all keys, through to exercise 6. Now begins playing real changes with them.
